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

it literally never did. the "thousand year holy war" is a fairy tale version of the "conflict" that americans parrot as fact because it's easier to believe that everyone in the middle east is superstitious to the point of bloodlust than the complicated truth that there are deeper historical reasons that implicate western imperial projects. Hamas is a religous organization, but the movement to liberate palestine -- of which they are merely the last remaining militant segment -- is and has been largely secular, and concerned not with fulfilling some scriptural destiny so much as securing for the people of palestine a dignified, safe, and free life which has been denied to them by the settler colonial ethnostate which begin slaughtering and imprisoning them in 1948 and has not stopped.
I say this in all love and understanding, but you do not have even a baseline understanding of the Israeli occupation of Palestine to begin to comment on it, and the explanations of it most readily available to you are only going to make you more confused and ignorant. As a starting point, I recommend the essay collection The Other Israel: Voices of Refusal and Dissent ISBN 1-56584-914-0, or else the website https://electronicintifada.net/.
