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

Israel gave support to South Africa's nuclear program, citing racial purity as a unifying force between the two "countries"
This is really funny. Wonder how he'd fit in with the patsoc crowd
Given how quickly Jackson Hinkle pivoted from literally praising Netanyahu because something something multipolarity towards Pro-Palestinian boosting for clout, I don't think this ghoul would fit in with them at the moment.
The coming years will be certainly "interesting" in that the Israeli right is now desperate since there's an actual risk of losing their political foothold for the first time since Rabin's death. They have also been flirting with soft anti-Americanism since they've grown resentful of the fact Israel is entirely dependent on America's whims to survive, even if it lets them have their way 99% of the time. So I definitely see PatSocs swerving right back and supporting them if they see a chance to somehow "dislodge" Israel from the US.
This won’t happen, Israel is made up of american or anglo-adjacent Israelis, like it won’t exist if the usa wasn’t footing the bill. Russia is the next biggest power that could reasonably support Israels existence, but they burned that bridge.
It most definitely won't, but it will be funny to see Israeli rightists flail about in an attempt to assert control (or would if not for the fact that more Palestinians will die otherwise).
