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

Why am I a Zionist? Breast cancer awareness. Go anywhere in Gaza right now and you won't see a single pink ribbon on the back of an SUV.

IDF moment

The Nakba was when Israel stole millions of NFT apes from Palestinians. Most Palestinians still keep the codes to their empty crypto wallets as a sign of hope and resistance.

Autistic Israeli mayor: We should make Gaza look like Auschwitz.

Allistic Americans: OMG! They want to make Gaza look like Auschwitz!!

Israeli government: Makes Gaza look like Auschwitz

Of all the online things I’ve read in my life, this might be the onlinest.

Autism is Jewish sounds like the exact kind of thing 4chan would say

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Had an autistic Jewish pal more or less say this as a joke. It was phrased well and hit, but it's one of those funny depending on who says it jokes.

It's almost like statism as a doctrine is flawed.

Hamas has never done operations outside of historic Palestine.

dang i hadn't seen the original, just tumblr user txttletale dunking on it

but fuck this person. fuck gem so much

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

If an autistic person told me that they planned to murder my family and build a shopping mall on the ruins of their house, I don't think that I would be very forgiving of such a statement.

this happened to me! and i do not have fond memories of spending time with this person! because despite both of us being autistic, it does not become magically ok to do this sort of shit!!

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

okay he killed a bunch of people but like he was neurodivergent soooo i mean how can we really judge how bad he is like i mean you know right

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

The full post is so much more unhinged. Anyone know what’s up with the “attack every Jew on planet earth” quote? Is the translation funky or is that genuine?

Edit: I looked it up myself. The linked clip is Palestinian Legislative Council member Fathi Hammad speaking in 2019 and while I couldn’t find any alternate translations, I also didn’t find anything contesting the statement. In fact, he was forced to walk back his statements after widespread condemnation, which included Hamas and a number of Palestinian activist groups.

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

From researching quickly it seems that a Hamas official said this in 2019 (unsure if the translation is good) and then a couple of days later Hamas publicly clarified that this was incorrect and did not represent their position.

“These remarks do not reflect the official stances of Hamas and its policy,” stated Hamas on Monday in response to Hamas official Fathi Hamad who on Friday told Palestinians worldwide to “attack every Jew on planet Earth.” In the statement on their website, Hamas stressed that it's stances and policy “state that our struggle is only against the Israeli occupation which occupies our land and desecrates our holy places.”

In response to Hamad's remarks, Hamas official Ahmed Yussuf stated earlier on Monday that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh “needs to stress that our conflict is with the occupation army, and not Jews from all over the world,” according to KAN. “Those words do not represent Hamas,” Yussuf claimed, and called on Haniyeh to stress that the fight is not against all Jews, but only against the occupation army. [source]

One would struggle to and find a similar response when an Israeli official goes on a genocidal rant against Palestinians/Arabs as happens regularly [1] [2].

Irregardless, these positions in the resistance come from Israel’s own insistence on carrying out their violent colonial settler project in the name of all Jewish people/the Jewish identity (as Hamas states in point 16 of their 2017 charter), which both allows them to characterize any opposition as antisemitism and fuels antisemitism among the people they oppress.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is some made up shit. Just like the whole 'Palestinian Hamas agents that were 'rounded up' planning to attack Jewish institutions.' They arrested some Palestinians who may have been planning protest demonstrations and were affiliated with Palestinian aid organizations. It's literally the Iraq thing all over again.

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It’s actually not made up. It was a statement from 2019 that was later rescinded but it was indeed said.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Ah, makes sense.

[–] sky@codesink.io 25 points 2 years ago

the internet was a mistake we need to make these people log off by any means necessary

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's super refreshing when Israeli officials blurt their plans for genocide?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

It's kind of nice when Israel confirms your allegations against them. And when libs defend Israel anyway so you can remove all doubt about libs being evil from your own mind.

Israel is an empath, and you can tell because it abuses you and then calls itself the victim.

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Saw this when it first did the rounds a day or two ago on Tumblr... thanks for making hexbear look sane. How does a person reach this conclusion?
