      It’s an easy way to silence people you don’t want to hear. Someone who believes there’s sincerity in the sentiment doesn’t start off with: “For them to call for a ceasefire is Mr Putin’s message. Make no mistake. This is directly connected to what he would like to see.”

      It doesn’t really matter what you justify it with afterward, you’re still essentially saying opposing “war” in Gaza is supporting Putin.

      Enough with the Hamas sideshow bullshit. You don’t have to be a Hamas supporter to be upset that Israel is indiscriminately killing Palestinians. At this point, anything Hamas did on 10/7 pales in comparison to Israel’s response.

      It also implies that anti-war protesting is something that is problematic and should be looked into. Or, rather than being pro-Palestine is wrong, and that it’s a sentiment that has to be caused by foreign influence.

      It’s no secret that there are corrupt politicians either. I think we should investigate this ghoul and her financial ties to supporting genocide first before we use the secret police on citizens expressing a desire for peace.

      If she was calling for both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protest groups to be investigated for potential monetary ties to Russia, then I’d consider her claim to be more valid.
