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

The modern colony of Israel was founded in 1917

That's just when the British and French took the land from the Ottomans. It didn't formally become the ethnonationalist Zionist project until 1948.

Although there were ancient varying Kingdoms of Israel in the Bronze and Iron ages in the Levant, they have basically nothing in common with the current settler colony other than the name.

iirc the israeli colonial project started in the late 19th

Someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Israel wasn't formally a state until 1948.
