Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Holy fucking shit.
Wait, they've already gone so far as to support Hamas?
Davel apparently has been keeping an eye on me for the last year.
I’ve posted this before but the propaganda around Oct. 7th and the mass casualties makes it really hard to know the precise details of what happened that day.
I’ve seen good evidence that armed Palestinians committed sexual assault and rape on that day. I haven’t seen good evidence that this was some kind of systematic strategy that can be traced back to Hamas leadership or ideology. But that’s a very difficult thing to prove.
That said it’s been a long time since I’ve researched this so if anyone has a good, factual, unbiased overview, I would be quite interested.
It’s also true that there have been a lot of rape and sexual assault accusations against the IDF as well.
Hamas, the IDF, Likud, and anyone else who perpetuates indiscriminate violence against civilians can rot in hell.
In the post body there's a link to a UN report
Questions of systemic sexual violence aside, there's definite evidence of sexual assault of both hostages and victims by Hamas or Hamas-aligned forces, which is what Davel is denying.
Israel is definitely guilty of systemic sexual violence, as reports from detained Palestinian political prisoners have shown.
It's just fucked up to deny something like this. Like condemning the Holocaust and denying the Holodomor which, tbf, is something we see a bit of due to this comm's purpose.
