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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

A 16-year-old girl has been sentenced to 30 days of conditional imprisonment for praising Hamas's attacks on Israel, according to Ritzau.

Under an article titled "Live: Israel attacked with missiles" on Ekstra Bladet's Facebook page, the girl wrote: "Yass," followed by a heart-eye emoji and the Palestinian flag.

The girl, who has family in the conflict-affected area, stated in Aalborg court that she had not read the article.

"I just wanted to show support for Palestine—meaning the civilians. I didn't know Hamas was behind it," she said in court.

She is considering whether to appeal the case to the high court.

I think she doesn't want to go to jail

Yeah that sounds like she was lawyered.

There's this game going on where people condemn hamas but celebrate palestinian resistance while ignoring that almost all of that is hamas. They're separating the two in their head in order to hold both ideas simultaneously so they're not "bad" for supporting hamas because everyone says that's a bad thing.

This comes from a lack of people being willing to accept imperfect resistance, and also the exceptional power of the western media propaganda.

this is a 16-year-old girl so i will excuse the liberalism

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah fair but this isn't unique to the young ones, in fact I would argue that the younger people often have better views on the realities of resistance than many of the older

I mean, she's also in a current legal battle for her future right now. I dunno about y'all but I'd sing whatever song my lawyer told me to. I don't feel as though me standing by my beliefs in this situation would particularly benefit anyone.

Every lib loves to fellate themselves talking about "nuance" which is just a long winded way of saying "status quo good"

Real nuance is supporting Hamas. Real nuance is supporting Iran and Russia in their war agianst the US. The concept of critical support would give libs an aneurism.

Saying the correct line that will be praised by internet leftists > her not going to fucking jail.

[–] replaceable@hexbear.net 30 points 3 weeks ago

I think she is just saying anything to not appear "guilty"
