Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Pro-Palestinian voters are facing a moral dilemma.

What evidence do we have that Trump would be worse?

You’d figure that the Democrats right before an election would at least LIE about stopping Israel. But they couldn’t even do that. How do we not know that the moment Kamala is in power, she tells Bibi that he can stop “holding back” and go full holocaust mode?

While it’s true that I would otherwise prefer Kamala over Trump, on this issue there is zero reason to believe she would be even 1% or 0.00001% better than Trump.

They both said they'd end the war in Gaza today lol. Ofc they won't but it's nice to know they're desperate

Did they really?

He has explicitly stated that Israel should fully militarily annex the West Bank and urged Netenyahu to draw up plans as he wished to provide additional military aid if they did so. So at the very least it can get as bad as doing Gaza 2.

I don't see why that wouldn't happen under Harris, too. "We support Israel unconditionally, to the point of circumventing Congress to send them more money" indicates there is nothing Harris will meaningfully oppose. That and doing nothing to oppose the genocide right now.

Why do I bother saying anything. Nowhere did I say Harris wouldn’t do that either.

But he has explicitly stated that that was one of his goals. Harris sending more weapons to Israel isn’t her asking Netenyahu to draw up invasion plans of the west banks.

That's the whole difference between the marketing of the two arms of the ruling party. Republican arm markets to people who are honest about wanting to brag about doing a genocide, while the Democrat arm markets to people who want the genocide to be done with a certain level of decorum.

Didn't mean to imply you had.

Apparently at least two people did. I say anything; instant downvotes.

Don’t know why I bother anymore.

I always assume that at least one downvote comes from lost and angry libs, so I wouldn't worry about it.
