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

Doesn't even make Israel look good because it's still implying that Israel is tank-shooting through humans to get at Hamas.

The discourse has been "it's OK to kill civilians to get at Hamas, it's Hamas' fault if they die" for quite a while now.

But then when you reverse it to be about Israel settlers getting hit with strays while being “protected” by the IDF, suddenly that’s bad.

I’m getting a “both sides is bad” take from the float, which is a terrible take by the way. Palestine is already vindicated in the history books as morally good, and that Hamas is the legitimate leaders of the Palestinians.

This is modern Germany though. Saying Israel bad is the same as saying you worship Hitler and want him to rule the world.
