          Basically that the indian gov wants Israel to stop doing this shit and instead teach them how to do it, but in broken english and every word capitalized, it was hilarious ngl, but kinda disrespectful

          Right because Indians cannot speak English without a funny voice.

          Whats next squint your eyes and go “orr herro wercome” maybe do some “oh yess massah, anything yous iz say massah” when referencing a black American?

          Fuck off outta here with that not racist nonsense.

            Well to the extent that my Indian friends and colleagues do have an accent yes. And to the extent that Indian scammers online and on the phone frequently use broken English, yes.

            And more to the point, my underlying message that Modi and his chums are rather nasty in their ethnocentric pro-Hindu nationalist extremes was meant to be highlighted, rather than any perceptions of racism. But yeah. You guys can purposely miss the point.

            Like people defending Israel’s horrific genocide are accusing everyone else of anti-Semitism as a distraction.
