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

zero chance Hamas pulled this off without outside help

Ahh, there's the racism

It's not entirely unfair, as Iran and Egypt have cohorts who have been happy to support Palestinians for decades.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they try to rope China into this before they're done.

I keep forgetting liberals are so backwards in their international politics that they think this is a bad thing

Everything I don't like is China or Russia, a toddler's guide to geopolitics.

I was literally about to post a bit about this

I should have known that by finding the idea funny, the Lathe would make it so

Can't believe Russia made Israel occupy Palestinian territories

[–] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

The only part of this that comes close to reality is that the historic friendship of the Palestinian and Soviet peoples helped keep the fight alive and importantly took the Sinai back for Egypt. But yeah Russia (and hell even the Soviets) are not prone to significant armed support for Palestine

Surely a bunch of outside help would have just increased the chance Mossad found out

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Do they not know that Russia has pretty cordial relationship with Israel? they have weapons deals together

Putin’s recent call to utilize a nuclear first response

Did he actually say this or is this just another made up quote to scare themselves?
