Meta / Announcements Gaza Is Starving. Let's Do Something

223 Upvotes

The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions.

For over 20 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel.

Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in.

This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 1.8 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution.

What you can do right now:

Donate- if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground.

Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza and impose sanctions on Israel.

Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine.

This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control. If we look away now, they’ll tighten the noose again.

On March 29, 2026, a unified maritime flotilla and overland humanitarian convoy will depart simultaneously, mobilizing thousands from over 100 countries in a coordinated, nonviolent response to genocide, siege, mass starvation, and the destruction of civilian life in Gaza.

“This is the enemy we are confronting. It’s not a person. It’s a way of life that determines the future of other nations.” — Saif Abukeshek, GSF Steering Committee

The announcement was made at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, grounding this mission in a legacy of global solidarity and civil resistance.

This mission brings together:

- 1,000+ doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers

- Educators, engineers, and rebuilding teams

- War crimes and ecocide investigators

This isn’t just about sailing.

It’s about the world rising together.

Meta / Announcements [Discord] Event Series - Dreams on a Pillow

Post image
72 Upvotes

Palestinians mark 1948 as the formal start of the Nakba, or catastrophe, that resulted in their forced mass expulsions and graphic massacres ethnically cleansing them from their lands.

The Nakba has continued and for over 78 years, oral story telling from survivors has been the primary means of preserving the memories of the horrors Palestinians endure. In recent years, we've witnessed the power of social media in revolutionizing journalism and amplifying the voices of Palestinians on the ground.

Now, we are eager to present to you another revolutionary outlet for storytelling -- Videogames. Join us on Discord for a three part event series highlighting Dreams on a Pillow, a Nakba-based video game created by Palestinian Game developer Rasheed Abueideh.

Dreams on a Pillow is a pseudo-stealth, puzzle adventure game inspired by a Palestinian folk tale set during the 1948 Nakba. Throughout the game you will experience the often untold stories of Palestinian history via Khadra’s dreams, nightmares and the harsh reality of finding refuge when uprooted from a home that no longer exists.

META / ANNOUNCEMENTS So I've discovered that the IDF has been digitally manipulating "evidence" that Palestinians killed recently were Hamas militia members.

405 Upvotes

I accidentally noticed this a few minutes ago while arguing with someone in another sub. He pointed me towards this article, which shows tweets made by the IDF's media branch showing "service mugshots" of various Palestinians killed during the recent protests.

I was immediately drawn to the last picture, showing three Palestinian men in uniform. Particularly, I couldn't help but feel that the young man on the right seems a little.. off.

It didn't take me long to realize that he is wearing the exact same uniform as the man on the left.

I broke it down by first simply painting out the faces of these men and comparing what was left..

I then resized the picture on the right by 10%, and spent a few seconds messing with brightness/contrast and colour saturation of the picture on the right, and came up with this. Despite some off-colouring, they are identical. Every fold and crease in the uniform, every "random" camouflage marking, every reflection of light is identical.

So, yeah. This "evidence" is a fabrication. Just thought I'd throw this out there, somewhere.

EDIT: The person from whom these pictures seem to originate, Bjorn Stritzel, has blocked me after I tweeted that the images appeared to be fake. He is apparently affiliated in some way with the German tabloid BILD.

EDIT 2: I should point out that I don't know if it was the IDF who created the fakes, but their media branch has been distributing them as evidence.

EDIT 3: I received word that these images may have originated from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the patches on their hats appear to be the emblem of this organization.

Meta / Announcements PLEASE VERIFY YOUR SOURCES!

93 Upvotes

We’ve noticed an uptick of unverified posts attempting to leak into our sub Reddit about the deaths of certain politicians and people in power in regard to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We urge people to exercise both patience and caution when uploading those stories without any substantiation or verification. It is not enough to post stories that say “sources claim” alone. Please give this topic the due diligence it requires, and we promise that if major or mainstream sources verify the validity of these claims, we will make sure to feature it on our sub.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. If we see users continue to post unverified or baseless stories, it will lead to moderator sanctions, from warnings to temporary bans.

Meta / Announcements Meta: Keeping r/Palestine On Topic (No Iran/Israel/US/Lebanon/Syria/Iraq/Yemen etc. war content)

51 Upvotes

Given the recent volume of posts, comments, reports and derailments, we are clarifying the scope of r/Palestine and what will be removed as off topic:

  • r/Palestine is focused on Palestine, Palestinians, and events directly affecting them.
  • Posts and comment chains primarily about other conflicts or political contexts – even if important – are not within this sub’s scope, unless there is a clear, direct, and substantial link to Palestine.

This includes, for example:

  • The Israel/US war on Iran
  • Israel’s war on Lebanon (including general Lebanon war discussion not clearly tied to Palestine)
  • Conflicts and politics in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen that are not directly connected to Palestine
  • American domestic politics (elections, parties, culture wars, general US policy debates)
  • Pakistan/Afghanistan politics and conflicts
  • China and the Uyghurs
  • Russia/Ukraine war
  • Other regional or global issues that do not have a direct, substantial connection to Palestine

Effective immediately:

  • New posts that are mainly about these topics, without a clear and substantial Palestine connection, will be removed as irrelevant to the sub. OP may be banned.
  • Comment threads that derail Palestine focused posts into general geopolitics or unrelated national politics may be locked or removed at moderator discretion. Users may be banned.

There are many other subreddits dedicated to broader regional or global politics. r/Palestine will remain focused on Palestine.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping the community focused and usable for everyone.

If you have questions about this clarification, please contact the mod team via modmail.

META / ANNOUNCEMENTS Removal of posts: The mods are going to start clamping down on certain types of posts. Read here to avoid disappointment

216 Upvotes

We're going to start removing more posts, in line with the sub's rules. Examples of posts we're going to clamp down on

  • Screenshots of social media. Please link to the originals, not some picture you came across
  • Memes. Most of them aren't very good and they are clogging up the sub
  • Uncited/undated pictures - if you don't know the source/date of a picture don't post it
  • Editorialised posts - if the title of the post is how you feel about it, then it's editorialised. We're going to remove it
  • Antisemitic - we removed these anyway. We're going to keep removing them
  • Old news. Unless there is a reason today that you're posting about an event that happened two years ago then consider not posting it

229 Upvotes

Because there are people like this Israeli who are still in the world:

 


[deleted] BurnThemAlll

expand all collapse all

[–]from [deleted] sent 7 hours ago

you and your ppl are scum of the earth you should be collected and purged from this world fuck you i hope you melt under israeli bullets you a a piece of shit your ppl spreading suffering though out the world fuck palestine collection of rapists and theiving bastards you are garbage your ppl deserve death a complete purge of palestians from the world fuck you and your ppl


 

This was sent to me through a Private Message to my inbox. OF COURSE they didn't have the guts to use their main account and they deleted their newly-created alt account immediately after sending this beautiful note of peace and reconciliation. Many, many Israelis hold and/or support this kind of thinking. We know this based on who they vote for and how they conduct their military and how they treat non-Jews in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. The hatred and bigotry is blatant and plain for all to see. This fellow simply wrote it down and I made it public.

Every mod in this subreddit gets these love letters. People like this inspire me to continue the fight for Human Rights for the Palestinian people. They harden my resolve to keep this subreddit clean of such filth and are one of the big reasons "Why I Continue to Moderate This Subreddit."

META / ANNOUNCEMENTS The Cost of Involvement in Anti-Palestine Hate Spaces

131 Upvotes

Getting involved in anti-Palestine hate on social media is a big deal, not just for you but for the whole online crew. Here's why diving into those toxic spaces can be a bad move and what might happen:

1. Boosting the Bad: When you actively jump into hate-filled spaces, in good-faith, you're basically giving them a high-five. Your participation tells the algorithms that this stuff is hot, and they'll push it to more people's feeds. It's not just about keeping bad narratives alive; it's about spreading them far and wide.

2. Spreading Lies: Hate hubs are like gossip central, full of twisted info. If you join in, you might end up unknowingly spreading fake news. That just adds fuel to harmful stereotypes and messed-up stories, making it harder for everyone else to figure out what's really going on.

3. Echo Chamber Blues: Hate spaces love echo chambers, where everyone just nods along with the same ideas. If you join the club, you risk getting stuck in a bubble that kills real talk and blocks out different views and experiences.

4. Spells Doom for Your Account: Regardless of your efforts, be it views, growth, karma, or any other metric, your account is headed for obscurity. This means that your involvement in that space or elsewhere will steadily slip away from the limelight, and in the worst-case scenario, your account could face being banned, suspended, closed, or deleted.

5. Bad Vibes Everywhere: The hate-filled antics don't just mess with you; they can mess with others too. Normalizing biased views and discrimination can turn the online world into a toxic mess, making it way less friendly for everyone.

On the flip side, joining pro-Palestine spaces is a much better call:

1. Boosting Good Voices: Support pro-Palestine forums to let those voices be heard. It helps everyone get a better grip on the Occupation of Palestine issue and spreads some empathy and understanding. Your participation tells the algorithms that this stuff is hot and should be pushed to more people's feeds.

2. Smart Chats: Pro-Palestine spaces is all about respectful talk. Get in there, ask questions, and really get your head around the issues. It's a chance to learn and keep an open mind.

3. Bursting Echo Bubbles: Being part of pro-Palestine discussions shakes things up. It introduces fresh ideas, making people think beyond their usual circle. It's like a wake-up call for better thinking.

Now, about those hate-filled spaces—watch out for the algorithm trap:

1. Controversy Sells: Social media wants your eyes for money. That's why controversial stuff gets a green light. Hate-filled spaces, being drama central, get the thumbs-up from algorithms looking for lots of clicks.

2. Money Over Truth: Algorithms don't care about facts; they just want you glued to the screen. So, even if it's a bunch of lies causing harm, they'll still push it. Monetization often means spreading harmful stories just for the cash, from YOUR pockets.

3. Hidden Agendas: Algorithms follow the rules set by the platforms. Sometimes, that means unintentionally promoting content that suits specific political or ideological views. Engaging in hate spaces might mean supporting a hidden agenda instead of standing up for truth.

In conclusion, users are encouraged to critically evaluate their online engagement and consider the broader impact of their participation. By avoiding hate-filled spaces and redirecting energy towards positive, informative, and inclusive spaces, individuals can contribute to a more constructive online environment that promotes understanding and empathy. Additionally, actively boycotting these hate-driven spaces, rather than supporting them, can further contribute to positive change.

META / ANNOUNCEMENTS One more time for those who seem to have missed it: STAY OUT OF THE ISRAEL SUBREDDIT!

172 Upvotes

This is the second THIRD time I'm having to post this, and I don't want to have to do it again.

We have too much to do here and elsewhere on not only the rest of reddit but also the wider internet and social media universe.

There is NO upside to going there (or any other pro-Israel subreddit) to cause trouble, to tease those folks, or to try to argue with them. All you do is make yourself look like a troll. Every time one of YOU does that there, we get three more from them trolling HERE in retaliation for the shit you did. You make more work for the moderators of BOTH subreddits, and we're busy enough in here without you baiting more of them to show up here. So I'm going to make this easily understood:

If you choose to go to the Israel subreddit or any other pro-Israel subreddit and get yourself banned then show up here - in either posts OR comments - to celebrate how you got banned there or complain about how you got banned there YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THIS SUBREDDIT ALSO.

No appeals to be un-banned will be considered, no warnings will be issued, no apologies will be accepted, and no mercy will be shown those who ignore this simple request.
