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

"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

[–] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 45 points 7 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.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 31 points 7 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

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 36 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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.

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 29 points 7 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).

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 7 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.

[–] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago (8 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.

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.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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'

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 13 points 7 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.

“How can Hitler be a bad man? He even wanted to keep some Poles around as slaves!”

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

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 31 points 7 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.

"I came up with a new Neoliberal foreign policy for peace in the Middle East!"

"RoboCop..."

opportunity to build a new city from a blank sheet of paper.

The Shock Doctrine hasn't stopped.

"Shock doctrine" after a fucking genocide. Jesus Christ

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

That's standard shock doctrine anywhere with brown people

Disaster capitalism working as usual.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 30 points 7 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.

[–] nightshade@hexbear.net 29 points 7 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.

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 7 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.

admittedly, selling Gaza off to the Sandals resort people is a fresh take. anyway gui-better

[–] ChairmanSpongebob@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

yeah, let's think of neom.com the thing that's definitely still happening and real

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Neom as a positive

Into the pit with you Mr Ackman.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 13 points 7 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.

”There's hope for you, Palestinians: we won't kill all of you because we need slave labor to run the rich tourist resort we build on top of your homes.”

Why should this liberal fucking fantasy nation be governed by anybody but Palestinians. Wretched creature who wrote this.
