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.

[she does well ripping hasbara, but she dismisses real #antisemitism as a nothingburger. Wrong.]

“I said, Free #Palestine.

“I want those words to be loud and clear, so the people from #Gaza, all the way to the occupied #WestBank, know that we have not forgotten them.

“And this next song was inspired by the bravery of Columbia U. students who led an encampment movement that mobilized the entire world; open up hearts, myself included, so thank you to those students that risked their diplomas, that risked their tuition, that risked their scholarships, that stood up and said, no. CUAD students, SJP, and #JewishVoiceForPeace...

“To all of my #Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of #Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against #genocide in no way is a criticism of you. [...]

Seeking to push Palestinians off their land, Israel is targeting the infrastructure that sustains life — and the institutions long tied to the anti-colonial struggle.

A growing number of former Israeli generals, intelligence officials and prime ministers are accusing settlers in the West Bank of committing ethnic cleansing with government support. “Once a society behaves this way,” one said, “that society is doomed.”

Leading members of Jewish civil society groups have written to British Prime Minister Andy Burnham urging him to adopt stronger measures on Israel and "oppose any further attempts to muzzle the Palestine marches".

This comes as the Burnham government prepares to announce a raft of new measures on the occupied West Bank, including a ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements.

“Atrocities without any fear of consequences.”

Intentionally targeting journalists is a war crime, and doing so on this scale is unprecedented. But over the last three years, as the world stood by, #Israel has turned its war on the press into a hallmark of its genocidal strategy, expressly targeting and murdering #Palestinian journalists in an attempt to silence their reporting from the depths of the #genocide. In both 2025 and 2024, more than two-thirds of journalists killed globally were killed by Israel — and more journalists have been killed in the #Gaza genocide, by far, than in any conflict in modern history.

  • What we’re reading: “Remembering Anas, Mohammed and Gaza’s other slain journalists”

Since Aug. 9, Israeli settlers have been besieging a Palestinian family in the West Bank village of Qusra in an effort to seize their home. For Local Call’s Oren Ziv, who reported from the siege, the army’s unwillingness to stop them tells the whole story.

  • Israel is secretly surveilling its teachers. No prizes for guessing which ones

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal is joined by American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee President Jenin Younes to discuss one of the most disturbing attempts to abuse the US legal system to criminalize pro-Palestine activism.

In a case that Blumenthal describes as one of the most absurd and dangerous cases he's seen, a notorious Zionist agitator, Kammara Sumrall, filed a federal lawsuit against an older Palestinian woman, Janine Ali, for supposedly grabbing an Israeli flag she was wearing around her neck. Sumrall has accused Ali of targeting her because she was Jewish, alleging that the Israeli flag is, in fact, the "Jewish flag."
