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.

Been staring intently at this map I got here for a while, but struggling to find out how USians are "risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans" by stationing themselves in Syria (which is where they were, let's face it). There would be no fellow Americans to risk their safety for if they just went the fuck home.
Sidenote: The framing of their headline photo of Biden being centered in front of the Isn't Real flag instead of the US flag is just chef's kiss. From a sympathetic article no less.
They have explicitly stated that they were in Tower 22, a US base in Jordan. The Syrian base was also hit, but the fatalities occurred at the Jordanian outpost.
And to answer your question. “They’re there to bring freedom and protect the people there from the evil terrorists! Which ones? We don’t care!”
