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

is one of the dancers wearing a keffiyeh (or similar) around their waist??
Yeah, Israeli's use a version of keffiyeh too, it's honestly a super useful type of scarf. Those assholes tend to go for olive drab "operator" colors for theirs though, which is why that one is so dark.
thank you for this information
Because they're such versatile pieces of clothing (belt, shawl, scarf, mask, and like 8 types of hat) they're extremely common all over the middle east by different names. Basically any time you see an arab with some sort of cloth covering their head or neck it's going to be a keffiyeh (or shemagh, or ghutra (?), or whatever they're locally called).
Early zionist Jews that emmigrated to Palestine when it was under Ottoman and British control made an actual effort to integrate with the locals and started wearing keffiyahs too, so they still get used by Israelis even though they're not as popular as they were.
war trophy I assume... like taking enemy dogtags, personal items, or cutting off ears.
I so distinctly remember being told in highschool, about Soviets doctoring photos where red army soldiers had been wearing two watches
and the idf is just like sheroes dance on tiktok with items taken from the dead allegedly
Sure the Germans committed genocide but the Soviets took a dead Nazi’s watch, so who can really say who the bad guy is?
Which is crazy considering American and British troops shipped entire rifles and shit across the ocean. A watch is basically nothing like damn let a mf take a watch.
Or stolen art, jewelry, valuables, etc. There were entire underground logistics networks set up dedicated to smuggling contraband loot out of europe.
yeah like, the reason there's such a big trade in Nazi memorbilia is because US troops love to loot. Like sexual violence, it's a practice that's inevitable in war unless strict penalties are instated for it.
The guys that captured Berlin and ended the holocaust were no angels.
I remember a reddit thread where they were all getting mad at a picture of a GI taking a captured SS Officer's watch, the bootlicking was unreal.
I remember hearing someone say the additional watches were compasses or something similar for artillery, but its been too long for me to remember anything about where I heard it.
Probably somewhere around these parts
It wasn't just any photograph that was allegedly doctored. It was this one.
