This community documents the full spectrum of Zionist violence – physical, structural, and political. That includes:

  • Settler attacks, land theft, and home demolitions
  • Israeli military operations and arms deals
  • AIPAC, the Israel lobby, and their influence on Western politics
  • Media censorship and suppression of Palestine coverage
  • Book excerpts, articles, and footage that expose how Zionist power operates

We focus on what Western media ignores. We do not exaggerate. We do not lie. The facts are damning on their own.

⚠️ Why Tankie.tube? Western PeerTube instances delete my videos. Tankie.tube does not. That is the only reason. It says nothing about my politics.
