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 [email protected]

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

You know, my plan when Bernie eventually dies, was to not exactly celebrate; but more to reflect that, yeah even though he ended up being a liberal Zionist piece of shit I respect the fact that he started something that got many of us on the pipeline.

But fuck that, now I will be doing crab dances when he dies and piss on his grave.

Probably low on the list to dunk on things here but the 1200 "innocents" figure always irks me. 300-400 were soldiers! Literally the least innocent thing you can be from a warfare standpoint

yeah, and also I notice when talking about the kibbutzim that were hit, there is

  1. a pretty dark and arbitrary conflation that "these were secular peace activists some of those people would drive Gazans to get healthcare" as if the same Gazans who got hospital rides were the same fighters who raided the kibbutzim, and also
  2. that kibbutzim are treated like small rural collective farm communities with no strategic significance for an anti-occupation struggle, which even erasing the historical occupation context, that kibbutzim were settler-colonial projects backed by armed militias (which you shouldn't do); many kibbutzim are also often very very wealthy and even have big industrial manufacturing and high technology enterprises and large-scale privatized industrial agriculture. I think something like 40% of Israeli polity's agricultural food produce come from kibbutzim and nearly 10% of industrial output in general. And one of the kibbuttzim that was raided is the wealthiest kibbutz in the entire territory of Israel polity (I forget which one by name when I was reading up on it).

When looked at from this point of view, as an asymmetrical anti-colonial struggle compared to any other in history, this is aspect of the raid is all pretty banal and straightforward.

one of the Kibbutz, Nahal Oz is literally a village for active soldiers
