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.

So after two years, this seems to be it. I am happy for the Palestinians as they can go to bed without wondering if they'll be alive for the first time in years.
But that it had to come this far is a shame on humanity. Shame on the lack of action from our governments. From all the people that looked away.
Respect to all the comrades who were there, with me, with us all, at the protests and the actions, getting beaten and arrested. To all the people trying to do something about this atrocity.
Whether Israel will follow through on the ceasefire, only time can tell.
Death to Israel as always.
A ceasefire does not solve the root of the problem. This is yet another defeat of native peoples against a settler colonial invader.
It does not solve the problem that is Israel though it (hopefully) solves the problem of indiscriminate bombing and starvation for the Palestinians for now.
Palestinians do not have time for solving the root of the problem. And I would call it a victory that a hostage exchange happened, that the Zionists even had to consider reaching any kind of deal with those they considered beneath their notice or dignity to treat seriously.
