It would still be stupid af but it would at least make some level of sense if there were a large number of countries offering citizenship and support to Palestinians. But they’re literally held captive and can’t leave. The borders are closed and there’s a heavily guarded wall around the whole place!

As a hwhite American the concept of having a “homeland” that you have historical ties to is something I don’t have a solid understanding of. I’ve never had that and I’ve mostly resented the places I grew up. I already wanted to move away from almost everywhere I’ve lived, and if you started dropping bombs I wouldn’t think twice about leaving. But Gazans aren’t allowed to leave.

To be clear I’m not trying to discount the concept of having a homeland you’re tied to, just wanted to point out it isn’t even a necessary part here because they’re held captive anyway.

I suppose I feel a real attachment to Chicago at this point. If it was being bombed regularly and I was able to leave with my family I certainly would though. Not totally related to your point, which I agree with, just hadn't really thought about it before.

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
