Palestine

Got a site-wide ban from reddit for posting Palestinian Resistance footage of Al-Qassam tandem rockets destroying IDF tanks. Guess the APS systems suck balls. Banned for "promotion of terrorism"

But footage of IDF glassing entire neighborhoods and massacring children is just fine and not terrorism. What a fucked up world, my heart breaks for the Palestinian people I promise this isn't a fedpost I'm just removed.

free palestine and may every Merkava burn

Opinion - Guest Essay By Hagai El-Ad

Mr. El-Ad was the executive director of the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem from 2014 to 2023. He wrote from Jerusalem.

"But there is only one regime in Israel-Palestine. The Palestinian Authority controls limited aspects of life in fragmented areas of the West Bank; Israel rules over all the major aspects of life in the territory.

Annexation is not a future prospect; it is a fact of life. Israelis and Palestinians live in a one-state reality."

On 9/11, Matt Nelson self-immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in Boston. He published a video describing what caused him to engage in such an extreme act of protest, citing the genocide in Palestine and other injustices in the world. He also stated that we are all “slaves to capitalism.”

Nelson is the third person to self-immolate to call attention to Palestine. Aaron Bushnell, a member of the US air force, self-immolated in February 2024 and a woman whose identity is unknown also did so in December 2023.

In the immediate aftermath of his self-immolation, local media in Boston covered the event as having occurred in front of the Four Seasons hotel. The hotel is on the same block as the Israeli consulate. Many have highlighted the media’s continuous failure to report on these acts of protest accurately.

After several days of fierce combat and intense battles with the occupation forces, in a brutal aggression initiated by the enemy on several cities in the West Bank, during a new round of fighting we have named “The Horror of the Camps” as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle that our people are waging against the occupier, we inform our people of the most recent developments in the battle:

1. Tubas Brigade: Our fighters in the Brigade succeeded in carrying out five explosive device operations targeting enemy soldiers and their vehicles.
2. Tulkarem Brigade: Our fighters in the Brigade succeeded in carrying out six explosive device operations, resulting in severe casualties among the enemy soldiers and their vehicles, including [the] dead and wounded. Additionally, they trapped a group of enemy forces in an ambush, and our fighters took down a Zionist soldier in a sniper operation during the clashes.
3. Jenin Brigade: Our fighters in the Brigade succeeded in carrying out more than 15 explosive device operations, causing severe casualties among the enemy’s vehicles and soldiers, of dead and wounded. Our fighters also trapped enemy soldiers in three well-prepared ambushes, one of which was complex and previously prepared to counter enemy incursions.
4. We bring good news to our Palestinian people that Saraya Al-Quds in the West Bank has entered a new phase of manufacturing and producing explosive devices, the impact of which the enemy will see on the battlefield.
5. One of the main factors for resilience during the Horror of the Camps battle, after faith in Allah, is that our people there have become highly aware of the importance of having weapons and military formations — and their rôle in defending the land and holy sites, without which this tyrannical enemy would have violated our land and honor.
6. During this honorable battle so far, a number of heroes from Saraya Al-Quds and the Palestinian Resistance factions have been martyred, led by the martyr commander Mohammed Jaber Abu Shujaa. Saraya Al-Quds affirms that it is fighting this battle alongside the heroes of the Palestinian Resistance factions, united and steadfast until the clear victory. Indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom: Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.
