The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri sent an email and said members could not raise money that represents “partisan politics” and must “stay neutral.”

    Good point. I admittedly missed that part when I skimmed the article.

    I found the Ukraine page on Girl Scouts’s website… it certainly paints a damning picture on Girl Scouts end.

      Yep, I’m convinced. The Girl Scouts are pro children suffering. At the least they can argue they’re against relief for suffering children, or they’re massive hypocrites and shouldn’t have ever supported Ukraine. They’ll have to choose one. I’m going with the the pro blowing up and orphaning children one for now, though.

        A lot of large organizations either explicitly or tacitly support Zionism, so this isn’t surprising.

        It’s a shame that Israel’s barbarism is once again causing people who are Jewish around the world to be causelessly scapegoated and blamed for a thing that they have no direct connection with. And many people who are Jewish are anti-Zionists. But we can’t let the Zionists conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism - that is a repugnant feat of hasbara propaganda

        The Gaza genocide must be opposed and it is at least positive that this seems to be waking up the world to the horrors of Zionist colonialism
