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

Russia supports Hamas; Ukraine supports Israel.

This in particular stands out as extremely questionable, if not just outright false.

Netanyahu and Putin have been fairly friendly for a long while, and Israel has in many ways sided with Russia since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 (continuing diplomatic relations with Russia when many countries broke off with them, not sanctioning Russia, not sending weapons to Ukraine, etc).

Both Ukraine and Russia have formally condemned the settlements, and Israel has gotten butthurt about it in both cases. Russia is somewhat more aggressive about reaching a two-state solution and making concessions to the Palestinians than Ukraine is, but it’s not a huge difference.

It’s fairly complicated, but overall I don’t think either Ukraine or Russia can be said to be more supportive of Israel (or of Palestine) than the other one is. Israel has a lukewarm relationship with both. There are no strong contrasts to be made here.

Ukraine is also jealous of Israel right now for getting the monetary support of the ghouls-based international order
