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

My "I feel personally threatened by opposition to genocide" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Love sending 🍕to IDF via @PizzaIDF

I have seen it all now.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

It's suboptimal to do war crimes when distracted 'cause you got the munchies for pizza.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I'm tempted to look into it but the IDF is notorious for im-vegan washing and if I see an option for vegan pizza I'll probably [redacted] myself.

Hm. I like this genocide, but how can I make it about me?

I will NOT BE riding the subway with all the Pro-Palestinian protests throughout NYC daily.

I wouldn’t be able to bear myself either if I was them

tingling the_dunk_tank senses for detecting the most deranged posts on the internet hidden behind 4 layers of "load more replies"

They write articles for Times of Israel so not a complete rando

I have an alt account on there where I follow a pretty eclectic bunch. I came across her in a random space that was suggested to me where they were letting her drone on and on for shits and giggles.

Why don't we just send Uber gift cards to Palestine so they can evacuate safely!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

The lols if she gets a muslim driver.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago

Careful - in a car you might see a free-palestine sign

Genuinely asking this because where I live there are very few Jewish people, but how is a person visibly Jewish? Maybe because they are wearing religious attire? Or is there something else?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

There’s definitely a stereotypical Jewish appearance. Most Jews in America are ashkenazi, which means they descend from central and Eastern Europe as opposed to Sephardic Jews, who descend from the Iberian peninsula and the Middle East.

Some examples of people who look like Jewish stereotypes:

Nick Kroll

Andy Samberg

Jenny Slate

Ilana Glazer

We share a lot of features with Italians, so there are a lot of people who are assumed to be Jewish but aren’t like Jason Biggs. If you’re in Long Island, you’re going to see a lot of both.

Hope this didn’t come off too race sciencey, I’m also mostly stereotypically Jewish looking. It feels like part of Jewish American culture is being excited when other people are Jewish and surprised when someone looks Jewish but isn’t.

I'm not even Southern European in the least and I get Chabad guys asking me if I'm Jewish all the time

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

I get that too; I assume it’s the combination of Eastern European and British ancestry and curly hair that makes me look like I just might be Jewish

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Beyond the kippah that varies from optional to required depending on the sect one belongs to, certain sects have a strict dress code for both men and women.

But I'm fairly certain this person does not belong to any such sect, at least not based on the video thumbnails she has on her tiktok page. So I'm fairly certain she means this in the purely phenotypical sense, which to be honest with you is totally not 'visible.' Like, at all. Being a guy of southern euro-poor ethnicity, I myself have been clocked as jewish countless times which leads me to believe everyone just thinks anyone with a fucked up nose is jewish.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

When Americans talk about it, other than attire, they usually mean dark, curly hair and/or a hook nose.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago

Damn that sounds really scary, sent her one

Thanks for sharing OP

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

She gonna cancel any Uber ride if the driver has a Arabic or Muslim sounding name. Oh fuck Mohammed is coming to pick me up.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

Wish I could send pizza to Hamas.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

If anyone is kind enough to send me 5 bitcoin and a pre-roll, I would really appreciate it. We just say no to the Palestinian’s genocide and oppression against Israel

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What does 'visibly Jewish' mean?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depending on her sect it could be the clothing

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

It can mean you look like the racial stereotype.
