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

idf-cool and isntrael should do for your flag burning desires

Neither of those represent Israel unfortunately, merely saying 🔥IDF ignores the vast swatches of ISISraeli society that deserves it without being IDF.

I get why, but let’s not pretend it’s equivalent

Looks like it's the Israeli flag mixed with the symbol for the Stern Gang, aka the Lehi.

The Lehi were a militant, fascist Zionist group. Among other things, they committed the Deir Yassin massacre and are overall one of the more sick Zionist groups to exist. They're thought of highly in Israel to this day. The Israelis I know call the Lehi freedom fighters, instead of what they were, which were fascist murderers who targeted children.

I'm pretty sure this symbol is used in the emoji rather than the typical Israeli flag because it be really, really bad to have an emoji of a burning star of david.

idk what it actually represents

Such great flags and emojis! Let’s use things we don’t even understand just to give into the Zionist narrative that Israel = Jews

Hezbollah aren’t cowards like hexbear mods

This is true for reasons other than the flag

If I were to make a choice I think it would be way cooler to have the mods doing armed revolutionary struggle against imperialists is all I'm saying.

sure but as long as they're just making emojis for us to post they should at least not be zionist cowards about it
