You may wonder what lead to this, so I must confess that I made the mistake of claiming that Palestinians deserve basic human rights (my exact words were "I support an end to the occupation.")

If the outcome they're referring to is the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians through murder and expulsion, what is the source of the compulsion that makes it inevitable?

Nature? - That's clearly an anti-Semitic claim.
Nurture? - End Zionist indoctrination and brainwashing of Israeli youth.
Religion/supernatural powers? - That's just cover for more racism.

The terminally online tankies are tiiiiiiiired.

They were also a massive hypocrite. They asked me consider the human cost of saying that I support an end to the occupation in a YouTube comment, a meaningless gesture that will never hurt or help anyone, but said I can't criticise Israel for bombing hospitals and refugee camps unless I had any better ideas for defeating Hamas. I shouldn't have let them drag me into their BS, but they insinuated that supporting an end to the occuption would inevitably result in Israel being invaded by the surrounding Arab countries. I told them that justifying apartheid with hypothetical scenarios is recyled South African apologia, but they were able to use my respect for all human life to bait me into their game. Next time I won't bother with anyone who think's people's basic rights are up for debate.

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
