all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.
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.
ARE YOU SAYING MASSACRING BABIES IS A GOOD THING‽
Unrelated, but I absolutely hate how in every west brained article about the conflict you are guaranteed to have the same "1200 deaths on oct 7" and "hamas-run health ministry" word for word no matter how irrelevant it is.
This shit reads like my essays where my teachers were grading me on the inclusion of specific key words and phrases.
I swear to God, we should learn how to recycle from the western media outlets.
The Hamas run health ministry thing is the absolute worst. I wish for nothing but the worst for everyone involved in having those words published or aired.

See also: "Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine"
Also "Iran backed proxies" whenever ansar allah or hezbollah is mentioned.
"We got owned by dudes in flip flops so someone powerful must be helping them. It's not that we are cowards." Who will they blame when they get owned by Iran.

That's exactly what this is. Time after time we've heard from journalists who blew the whistle on their publications that they have internal rules that state they have to include certain phrases and are not allowed to use others when they report on politically sensitive topics like Palestine, Ukraine, etc. You don't get a piece like this past the editors if you don't adhere to the rules, and the rules are usually handed down from the very top where the bosses usually have ties to the state department, the intelligence agencies, Zionist organizations, and so on.
Could you share some links if you have some handy?
Also, the book "Inventing Reality" by Michael Parenti talks about this. Although it's fairly old, published almost 40 years ago, it's still relevant; if anything it shows this is nothing new
Alright, looks like a good read. Thanks again.
Massive W for Palestine and a big W for China as well showing that their brokering of peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia was not a fluke, but rather an indicator of where the global diplomatic center has shifted to. Outside of the increasingly insular West, China is seen as the most honest, trustworthy and unbiased third party for countries and rival factions to peacefully settle their disputes through. With China's help win-win solutions can be found for even the most bitter feud. This is a nightmare scenario for the imperialist West as they thrive on conflict, discord and disunity. China is rolling back the imperialists' global "divide and rule" strategy one piece on the Go-board at a time.
Akshully... It's called a Goban.
Real talk though. It's becoming more and more clear that China is taking a bigger role in just the last few years. It's looking more and more inevitable that the global center is shifting that way.
