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.

I don't believe for a second that Israel is doing this with any sincerity. They'll just break the ceasefire and blame Hamas again like they've done every time a ceasefire was announced.
Part of me worries that this is a strategy to get the hostages out and then continue without the pressure from within not to harm the hostages. Who knows though.
“Israel” already wrote off the hostages. I’d be shocked if they stop killing for any reason beyond military force or severe economic pressure.
If Israel has a sincere pressure from the u.s., and listens to its population(, here also,) more than its far-right which doesn't care about lying, then it may not end up like the false ceasefire from january to march.
However, attacks won't cease if there's no two-states implementation, there'd be no reason to.
Also the articles you link are merely about 1. israel not wanting to run the government of Gaza, and 2. Ending the "war" in exchange for the hostages. The plan to ethnically cleanse them or kill every man, woman, and child both have more support among israeli society at 82% and 47% respectively.
Tl:dr there have been few times in history where an entire country deserves the gulag as much as Israel.
If you want to find someone supporting Israel, then don't stay on Lemmygrad, i didn't thought for a second that the comment i posted was pro-israel.
Even if i wanted to defend Israel i wouldn't be allowed to anyway, i wouldn't want to be banned again for stupid reasons, just note that 78% of jewish israelis believe that Israel is trying to avoid civilian deaths, because they're brainwashed by their environment&medias(, to the point of somehow believing to be the victims here), surprise.
If people here oppose collective punishments then be coherent and don't wish it on israelis. Or do, i'm not your mom, end of the discussion for me.
Nah I ain't buying it.
The ethnic cleansing of palestine was massively popular in the apartheid state, you can't try and lie and say that the genocide wasn't actively supported by the vast majority of Israeli society, the only ethnic group that displayed even an iota of hesitation or resistance was the arab jewish population. We are not buying you running cover for the zionists, Mr. liberal zionist. Death to "israel."
