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

David Sirota was a disgusting piece of shit about Al-Aqsa Flood and he can go fuck himself
Oh yeah I forgot about that
God fucking damnit
Oct 7 2023 is the day that made or broke my respect for so many public figures
Unfortunately almost all of them failed. When the time to be resolute in their principles came... it turned out they had no principles. Goddamnit.
What did he say? I used to read some of his stuff like during the Obama era but haven't followed him since
I remember him tweeting reductive shit along the lines of how if you don't condemn Oct 7 you are an anti-semite who wants all jews to die or some shit, let me go look to see if it's still in his feed
in the meantime here's his Oct 12 article with lots of both-sidesing, conflating antizionism with anitsemitism, and Nakba-omitting bullshit

Thanks
I think this specifically is about him being dragged for boosting PA governor Josh Shapiro as a candidate for Kamala's VP, and calling him a personal friend. Shapiro supports an anti-BDS bill which will impose financial penalties on universities which divest from Israel. Otherwise, Sirota is generally your average succdem. He was a surrogate for Bernie's campaign in 2020. John Fetterman was a succdem too though. It is amazing to see how far these creatures will unravel when you pull on the tread.
