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

She has pivoted since October 7th to being a ceasefire proponent, but I trust it as much as I trust anything else from her.

Last year, Williamson told JTA that she admires Herzl. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl, founder of Zionism]

“He was a whole-person thinker, addressing the spiritual as well as the political aspirations of the Jews,” she said. “And that’s what the new Zionism needs to concern itself with” today.

I think the problem is that Zionism really has avoided scrutiny in America for decades, because when the boomers were growing up, Israel was the underdog. So that's how you get someone who talks about reparations and also being pro Israeli

Or they're just a political entity that's doing whatever it takes to win.
