     I don't know who needs to hear this (nobody in the fediverse thank God), but speaking up for Palestinians doesn't excuse deplorable conduct. Atrocity deniers, xenophobes and other terrible people, a Palestinian flag won't cover up your shame.

     Indonesia has seen numerous mass rallies condemning Israel and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. But the spike in pro Gaza sentiments in Indonesia, have coincided with rampant and violent anti Rohingya xenophobia in the country.

     This shocking 3 minute Al Jazeera video report features xenophobic rallies, calling for mass deportation of "dirty" Rohingya refugees from Indonesia. The YouTube comment section is also very revelatory. It's not a good look. Pro Palestinian solidarity is pointless, if it is held alongside hate rallies that fuel the spread of hate speech and misinformation targeting survivors of genocide.

     Protect the "Palestinians" you have at home first.
