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

It’s hilarious because this video is by a liberal Zionist who’s claiming to piss off “both sides” by conceding that there might be SOME people in Gaza they don’t think of as disposable s-bhumans. Literally the “compromise: let’s kill only half of them” centrist meme.

I’m not sure what the propaganda endgame is with this angle that Zionists, both liberals and unabashed rightists, seem to have only doubled down on by showing Palestinian civilians attacking occupying soldiers in a fit of righteous fury and trying to imply they’re fair game for IDF atrocities. This only works during “normal times” in an environment where there isn’t a fresh commotion in the public caused by countless headlines accompanied by images/reels of devastated city blocks and grisly remains (some of which they outright celebrate as owning le terrorists). You’ve already outed yourselves as genocidal bastards, so not only is this as effective as showing someone an image of liberated death camp inmates dispensing mob justice on a Nazi, it’s also a glaring admission that your guys are deliberately killing civilians (or consider their lives expendable at best). Especially when you post this as a response to every atrocity as a deflection (as the pictured retweet was in response to the IDF desecrating some very non-threatening graves).

Perhaps it’s meant to desensitize people and communicate ‘subtly’ that “yes we’re killing civilians, they deserve it and there’s nothing you can do about it”. But I’m not sure how that’s going to pan out.

Israel is a glorified military base disguising as a nation. All zionist propaganda is designed to keep the emotionally captive Jewish population at bay. The worst thing that could happen to the zionists is that the Jews they rounded up to be soldiers get smart and flee the country in droves.

Birthright trips to the star of david on the flag are no more meaningful than military recruitment ads in a inner city high school. The goal is to terrorize people.

Like Ukraine, this charade won't last forever (most likely a regional war will occur and the USA and West Asia (with the backing of China) will have to militarily divide the region into zones like the DPRK and South Korea, thats my optimistic prediction).
