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

Biden did not say why he was skeptical of Palestinian figures

Been noticing this is a lot by Hasbara posters on reddit-logo, usually either straight up denying people are dying or saying they can't trust the numbers because the health ministry is "run by Hamas"

But they'll gleefully spout bullshit propaganda about 40 beheaded babies without the slightest bit of checking the veracity

That's because he doesn't know the word "vibes"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

michael-laugh someone should teach him.

I don't trust those numbers. Why? The vibes are fucked, Jack. biden-point

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

If anything the Palestinians are giving a lowball number. Israel has dropped just over 7000 munitions so far and they are reporting over 7000 dead. So one person a bomb? I wouldn’t be surprised if the casualties are 3x higher.

"What they say to me is I have no notion Vietnamese are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I'm sure innocents have been killed, and that's the price of waging a war" Nixon said

"What they say to me is I have no notion Iraqis are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I'm sure innocents have been killed, and that's the price of waging a war" Bush Sr and Jr said

"What they say to me is I have no notion Syrians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I'm sure innocents have been killed, and that's the price of waging a war" Obama said

So the occupied strikes back, kills some Israeli families = evil, worse than hitler, 500 9/11s

Occupiers raze entire neighborhoods with billions upon billions dollars worth of missiles: cost of war

response from Ministry of Health:

We reject the American administration's questioning of the numbers we announce regarding the martyrs and the injured.

The American administration has stripped itself of all standards, humanitarian ethics, and basic human rights values to speak in the tongue of the criminal occupier and brazenly question the authenticity of the announced figures.

We have decided to come out and announce in detail, with names, and in front of the whole world the reality of the genocidal war committed by the “israeli” occupation against our people in front of the world's sight and hearing since the seventh of October.

We confirm that the doors of the Ministry of Health are open to all institutions to review the health system's operations in the Ministry of Health.

Would that be the Gaza Ministry of Health run by Hamas?

Any vote evangelists want to step in here and defend brump? You always seem to do so, no matter how depraved this ghoul gets

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do they? I may be blocking it out but I thought everyone here was pretty consistently anti-Biden/DNC?

Just so it's clear, not trying to obfuscate or anything just don't remember seeing support for the child snuffer in chief here.

Also, of course, DTI and DTA.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they're talking about posters from other instances, no one on Hexbear supports brump

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ah, okay yeah, in retrospect I should have assumed as much.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, like @[email protected] said, no one on Hexbear does this.

The votelords seem to come out of the woodwork mostly when there's a lost about how some groupbhas organized to withhold support for Biden with their "harm reduction" bs

Burn in hell

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

He would know, he has first hand experience just ask them how many Americans died from COVID.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

The IDF needs to be careful to only strike proper military targets as it randomly shells Gaza with the explicit objective of collapsing tunnels it can't possibly know the locations of.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Well I have 'no confidence' in Joe Biden's ability to draw a clock.

“Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.”

[–] hotdaniel 1 points 1 year ago

What about when the health ministry said 500 died in that hospital blast? Was that not a major discrepancy?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Cool. I'm skeptical of every figure you blurt out too, gramps.
