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.

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

"Favorable taxation" ie zero income tax for settlers. Only the poor Palestinians have to pay the regressive sales tax.

giving palestinians the hope of becoming indentured servants for settlers and vacationers who openly despise them

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"Once Hamas is destroyed" honestly doesn't leave much room even for that when this kind of ghoul usually sees all people in Gaza either as ethnically terrorist or as regrettable human shields that unfortunately can't be saved because the destruction of the people with the islamist militant brainpans takes precedent over their survival.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Right, that's what I noticed. There won't BE any Palestinians left if we go by what Israel uses as the definition of Hamas

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

This is intentional. There is no way to prove Hamas is destroyed. Unless you are waiting for them to make the proclamation that they are all dead.

If Netanyahu released a list of demands to stop the war, Hamas would likely comply because as soon as the war is over, Netanyahu’s trials for corruption and fraud will immediately continue when he is voted out of office.

Netanyahu will do anything to keep this war going to hold on to power. He literally has fraud and corruption trials on hold as long as he stays prime minister lol.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Everything’s Netanyahu now. Get him out of power and the settler colony will surely stop its war on the native population (ignore all prior history).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Removing Netanyahu, the guy who actually funded Hamas and who is on trial for corruption in his own government, is definitely a start.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Telling me someone is disliked by the Israeli government doesn't make me like them less.

And Hamas is not a problem. They are a response to a problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Uhhh, Hamas is a bunch of militant terrorists. Neither IDF nor Hamas can argue they are the “good” side. Neither side has the moral high ground. Hamas was funded by Netanyahu because he didn’t want PLO to govern a united Palestine…. Simplified obviously but more or less I believe. But in no way is Israel somehow the good guys here.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I dunno, I feel like the side trying to prevent them and theirs from being ethnically cleansed has better moral footing then the side doing the ethnic cleansing

Just a thought

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Neither side has the moral high ground, they're both using violence! (don't ask how the IOF responds to nonviolent protests)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

"Terrorism" is a word used by liberals when brown people use violence. The IDF and American military both fit any definition of "terrorist" that you would apply to Hamas. It's all a matter of whether the group looks organized and presentable to you. Leave the scare words at home.

You've been told this over and over and you are for some reason just ignoring this: Netanyahu is not the source of evil in Israel. Blaming Netanyahu for Hamas and the modern criminal ethno-state he runs is like blaming George W. Bush for all of America's crimes in the middle east from the 1940s to the Iraq War. What the hell do you think the rest of the country was doing the whole time?

Uhh guys the native population is fighting colonialism and genocide with armed resistance, clearly this is evil terrorism (despite Palestinian armed resistance being permitted under international law, and the fact that Hamas is the govt. in Gaza). Where is the Palestinian Gandhi? nerd

Not really, who do you think is gonna replace him? Have you seen what happened to the last guy that tried to "make peace" and find a solution?

They shot him. And netanyahu came right back. Even if you get rid of netanyahu, the guy that's going to take his place will be considerably worse for the sheer fact that netanyahu IS the most moderate person in government rn.

Israel should be completely abolished and the settlers removed from every part of society.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. Hamas also being intentionally vaguely defined means it's much easier to keep the facade that every dead male is Hamas, and the rest 'unfortunate collateral damage' unless proven otherwise

It's such obvious horseshit designed to render the ongoing genocide able to be described in terms Israel and the US find 'acceptable'

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

It’s why Biden was caught so off guard by the push back from the American people on this issue. For decades the media has just been repeating the IDF lies and Israeli talking points ad nauseam and without question.

Now we have alternative sources of media on the internet that actually investigate these claims. Corporate media is slowly losing its grip and is no longer able to force feed us their lies.

Imagine being this self-confident in your genius while also being the dumbest motherfucker in existence. Real "high-level thoughts". I have never been more convinced at the complete lack of a meritocracy than I am whenever this person opens their mouth

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago

Man who bet on black sixteen times in a row and was right every time has a theory about how to fix a three generation long blood feud between colonists and native peoples.

"Shock doctrine" after a fucking genocide. Jesus Christ

That's standard shock doctrine anywhere with brown people

Disaster capitalism working as usual.

Notice how at no point do they ask the Palestinians what they want.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Notice how they can't even offee the Palestinians an "independent" comprador state. They must cease to exist as a people in the wildest dreams of these ghouls.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago

The solution to the genocide in Gaza is to build a series of resorts and high end restaurants with premier designer shopping malls in a big line.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

There are too many instances of capitalist delusions to count, but the fact that he thinks that the stupid line city is the model for an ideal society has got to be the cherry on top.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"Governed by consoetium of gulf states and the US" Of course the colonial imperialist pigs in US and its vassals in the middle east are the one to control, not the actual Palestinians living in Gaza. Fuck the amerikkka

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

Could have saved a lot of time and effort by just writing "bulldoze it, strip itnfornparts, sell what's left to western real estate developers, hope Isreal drives them off for good"

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

what-the-hell feels like gpt

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

You will be a tax haven and a bordello for finance perverts and tech bros, your city will be demolished and reconstructed in soulless international airport style (no local architects allowed) and you will be governed by a junta of racist fascists and their crime family compradors.

This is truly something to look forward to.
