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

MODERATORS
In their perception, Britain turned against the Zionists around 1939 or so (White paper) and sided with the Arabs in opposing a Jewish state after that. So they mean “Independence” as independence from Britain.

it’s commemoration of a rejection of the UN partition plan and UN mediated conservatorship.
Threading the needle between "we want to eradicate you," and "we don't like being eradicated."
America brain moment
This Amerikkka moment, brought to you by the UKKK
Americans have a tendency to think that meeting in the middle of two right-wing parties is so thoughtful and considerate of everyone's struggles, so I expect nothing less from the America brain mindset.
Also, happy cake day!
Modern Israel is a country that's founded by terrorism against the British that somehow managed to be not-based.
To be fair, there's at least two of those.
sort of wild that most amerikkkan history treats 'tarring and feathering' like it was a prank
like ha ha bro we got you bro you look like a chicken bro
but also enjoy the third degree burns from hot tar all over your body that might kill you
The British were on board since the begging.
This is that Israeli org whose main thing is liking the apartheid but thinking that maybe genocide is a step too far because some Israelis might accidentally get killed because of it right?
How did they do their "independence". Independence from what?
"yesterday was Hitler's birthday, tomorrow is the start of Passover, reflecting the opposing narratives of 1939."
"Acknowledgement of eachother's narratives yadda yadda" is some really disingenuous shit. It is always selectively applied. None of these ghouls are talking about acknowledging the narratives of any enemies of the empire. It is just now that many people are beginning to sympathise with an oppressed and colonised people that it is suddenly important to "acknowledge the narrative" of the oppressors.
And even if it were being applied consistently it is a dumbas idea. All narratives are not equal, sometimes one narrative is true while another is a lie, one is a call for justice while another is an excuse for genocide.
A positive peace in Palestine, for all ethnic and religious groups, begins with the acknowledgement of history. Treating the perpetrators as morally equals to their victims is only going to delay the necessary reckoning with the Lebensraum ideology of Zionism.
What’s the German equivalent to this?
Look the holocaust was wrong... but those Romani were no angels.
Average European
But but but but cant everyone just get along?
