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

Pretty much, also imagine supporting a genocide (non-Zionist Jews are infinitely welcome) and then crying the ongoing victims aren't inviting you to hang out.... truly fragile colonizer mentality
::: spoiler This isnt really directed at you but just in general about the usage of the term non-zionist here
Nonzionism is not antizionism, just like nonracist doesnt mean antiracist. Nonzionist jews may not be actively pushing for genocide, but the nonzionists in my family are deeply apathetic to what is happening, and refuse to engage beyond condemnations of blatantly genocidal acts (when they havent been poisoned by propaganda). They will run defence for israel without realizing it, in the same way a nonracist may hold up systemic racism without actively commiting racist acts/speech. Those in my family who are nonzionists have no issue with israel existing as is, rather, they take issue with seeing genocide before them; They sit at a table with zionists just as comfortably as with antizionists.
Imo, antizionists should be welcome. Nonzionists make me nervous and frustrated and sad and deeply angry, as they help enable genocide.
Good point, and I fully agree with you. I hadn't quite considered the difference when typing it, admittedly- but I'll try to specify "anti-Zionist" from now on.
