I’m thinking call them Squealer and ask them how much milk and apples they were paid to spread their propaganda.

Sri Lanka is participating in Operation Prosperity Garden meaning they are complicit in Palestinian genocide. I’m willing to bet Jessie either does not know, does not care or thinks this is good.

Saying “leave if you don’t like your country’s imperialism” is no different from saying “anyone who are not as racist as me should go kill themselves”.
Remember in 2010s those chuds would post “I am an attack helicopter, it is my gender identity to drop bombs on foreign countries and if you oppose you are transphobic” as malicious trolling?
If you think of it zionist (and I guess ‘vote for 99% hitler or you are transphobic’ liberal) pride is just taking that phrase (or at least the second part) and going ‘this but unironically’.
A thought experiment that came to my head: Say in an alternate timeline Biden is more or less the same or ‘okay’ on other issues but the ‘single issue’ is something else. The Israel-Palestine war either does not happen during his term or he gives a way more convincing 'anti-'genocide response. Instead he is either super pro-life or super transphobic. If the former alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to restrict abortion access and calls pro-choice protestors who get beaten up pro-baby murder. If the latter alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to criminalise trans people, calls trans-supportive parents and teachers child molestors and claims Rowling etc. are victims of cancel culture. How would liberals justify this as the lesser evil?
To hop on this I’m looking at trying a chinese/ wuxia turn-based rpg for this summer sale. Have the following on my wishlist:
-Wandering Sword
-Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains
-Hero’s Adventure: Road to Passion
-Souls of Chronos
-Terra Memoria
What would you recommend?
Note that the CrossCode DLC A New Home on itch io did not come with the bundle and is not on sale and if you want it it would probably be cheaper to just re-buy the game and DLC on steam.

The phenomenom of ‘using queer rights to make your crimes against humanity look pretty’ is called pinkwashing if anyone needs a short word to describe it in future
https://decolonizepalestine.com/rainbow-washing/pinkwashing/
Y’know some people claim that Russia recently declaring all LGBT groups as terrorist organisations is because the LGBT support groups are all CIA plants.
This is not a justification for Russia obviously, whether or not the CIA plant thing is true persecuting your own country’s queer community is always wrong. I just find it interesting that people have no problem condemning Russia and pointing out that this is a bullshit justification for homophobia but with Israel calling into question the morality of “hamas allegedly hides among civilians so killing Palestinian civilians is justified” will have people compare you to Hitler.

Singapore itself is an Israeli ally and has been trying to frame the whole war as just a case of racial and religious disagreement rather than colonialism. It is also participating in Operation Prosperity Garden (the US-backed operation to stop Ansar Allah from enforcing the red sea blockade on Israel). I feel for the charity workers. The government’s hands however are stained with both Palestinian and Singaporean blood.
I checked your link and that outdated charter you quoted also links to their 2017 charter. Point 16:
“16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.”

And this does not even get into the part where Israel itself is an antisemitic abomination:
-Israel’s initial proposal/ conception was not out of some concern for the Jews but for antisemites to throw the Jewish population in a place where they don’t have to see them
-Deliberately erasing the existence of Jews that lived in Palestine before their occupation in their rhetoric
-During wwii Israel turned back Jews that had no settler inclination/ potential back to the German concentration camps
-Committing atrocities while wearing the Star of David is designed to draw hatred to Jews as their scapegoat. It is not ‘the only safe place for Jews’, it is a perpetual warground that uses Jews as their human meatshields.
-Their massive PR/ rainbowwashing/ anti-BDS laws is probably also designed to be easily misconstructed as the ‘Jews shadow-control the world’ antisemitic trope
Calling Hamas/ Palestinians antisemitic is like accusing wwii-era Korean/ Chinese/ Malaysian resistance groups etc. of being ‘Japanophobic’ against their occupiers, or trans people of being ‘cisphobic’ against transphobes.
These ‘x issues are dividing the working class’ lines is just trickle-down economics with race/ gender/ orientation etc.
