      Less a whataboutism, more a don’t be a hypocriteism.

      There are so many ethically consistent people to showcase instead.

      Showing CodePink harms pro-Palestinian protestors by conflating them with a Chinese funded group who aren’t anti-genocide.

        That’s what a whataboutism is. It’s not hypocritical to mention one genocide without mentioning another in the same breath

        As for the supposed hypocrisy of CodePink: even if you’re right about that, it’s beside the point and as such both a whataboutism and an ad hominem fallacy.
