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

I don't really remember the early 2000s, I was too young, but I imagine this is what it was like.

This is exactly what it was like. People have the political memory of a goldfish. “Well, if intelligence says so. They’ve never lied to me before!”

Context: Israel needs to prove that the UN is Hamas because the UN ICJ just ordered them to stop genociding

Totally not suspicious timing coming out right after the ruling

I knew the article would go out of its way to avoid saying "according to Israel" but holy mother of fuck did the article really go out of its way to avoid saying "according to Israel".

I scanned the entire article and maybe I missed it but I couldn't find a single mention of how the intelligence was gathered and who actually gathered it. It's all crap like this...

Intelligence estimates shared with the U.S.

They're really going to run with this shit, huh? Anything to defend genocide.
