The response was surprising to Abuhamdeh, who recalled other Girl Scout troops organizing to help families in Ukraine after Russia invaded in February 2022. According to the Girl Scouts website, a troop in Westlake, Ohio, collected medical supplies and pack first-aid kits to be distributed in Ukraine, and “also exchanged small gifts like friendship bracelets and cookies”.

The kids are all right

They should band together and start putting the adults in reeducation camps

Faced with the difficult decision to either stop selling the bracelets or to disband from Girl Scouts entirely, Abuhamdeh left the choice up to the girls.

“They stayed quiet for a while, and their first question to me was, ‘Well, what’s our group name gonna be?’” Abuhamdeh said. “It wasn’t a hard decision for them."

That group name they settled on?

Providing aid to a people being genocided is a political statement, but stopping that aid is not a political statement. Makes total sense

It's like President Boy George says. You're either apolitical or you're with the terrorists.
