This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

There's a shred of truth to it. Mahmoud Abbas and his cronies just kinda exists as a figurehead of a defunct state apparatus, getting state money to serve as the vestige of Palestinian self-governance. The PA plays Vichy France to Israel's full military occupation, while armed opposition is a French Resistance that's been operating without any hope of a Dunkirk on the horizon.
And there's a shred of truth to the Israel proletariat being swept by the tide of national politics right along with the Palestinians (abet, far removed from the worst of it). The Israeli police were happy enough to assault some orthodox jews in Jerusalem for voicing dissent just two weeks ago. And this was after the effort at sweeping out an Independent Judiciary in Israel lead to riot cops and Israeli protesters clashing in the streets a few months back.
Israel is a police state in every sense of the word. And while they lure Europeans in with the promise of free land, what they're truly hungry for is more young men and women to fill out the ranks of their armed forces. It is worth noting that you can be an Israeli dissident in the same way you can be a Palestinian collaborator.
But OP's take pretends at parity, when it is abundantly clear where the lion's share of sentiment falls in either community.
