It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

People say Stalin committed genocide by moving entire cultural groups out of their land into other places. If that's enough, which it actually is, then yes, that is what Israel is doing.
That's ethnic cleansing, not genocide. Unless a large number of them died in the process like the Trail of Tears of course.
I think many definitions of genocide include ethnic cleansing within it. It's a form of cultural genocide, to remove people from their homes and relocate to another, foreign place. It's not specific in the UN definition, but that's not the only one.
Good point though, I just mean that if people are going to rag on Joey Stalin, then its the same thing they should be criticizing Israel of.
You can't do mass forced deportations without inflicting genocide. The act of moving that many people causes death, culture loss, and hinders the ability to reproduce. And this isn't even counting the fact that for many cultures place is important to their sense of self and identity.
Still a crime against humanity
