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 [email protected]

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

The whole human shields thing is pure projection. We've seen plenty of examples of isntreal doing it but none of Palestinians doing it. They'll bomb a fucking hospital and claim that hamas was storing weapons there and therefore hamas was using the people as human shields.....but then they can't produce any convincing evidence that there were weapons there in the first place.

Always projection. The west kills kids and don't want to feel bad about it so blame the fucking people getting killed. Classic.

That's the other thing; the fact that isntraelis do it means that Hamas would go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties, so why would Hamas intentionally use human shields? The fact that the IOF believe that they can make effective use of human shields means that they know it would stop Hamas firing on them because Hamas would try and minimize civilian casualties.
