Petra Nyqvist wondered whether the previously expressed division by the Finns Party that led to the party's split into the "nasty" and "blue" factions had also spread to the National Coalition Party. According to her, there seemed to be an attempt to oust cultured bourgeois values from the party. Nyqvist questioned what the point would be in having two right-wing parties that are both "nasty," which would share core ideas of opposing immigration and attitudes towards racism. She doubted whether there would be enough anti-foreigner voters for two large parties, which she described as being empty in content. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)

Elina Hiltunen wrote that the Finns Party should justify its immigration concerns more clearly and calmly, and rely on facts. According to her, many Finns perceived the party's anti-immigration stance as racism, even though, in her opinion, the party should communicate that it defends the whole of Finland instead of immigrants. Hiltunen argued that a free and equal Finnish society would cease to exist if immigration, particularly from Muslim countries, continued as it is. Hiltunen estimated that the party's swearing, provocation, and the communication style she described as “rude” might drive away educated supporters. She also urged so-called “hidden supporters,” especially members of the National Coalition Party, to either join the Finns Party or strive to change their own party's line. According to Hiltunen, the party should not only seek support from those who already agree with them but also help Finns understand the basis of their politics. #maahanmuutto #keskustelu #Suomi (translated)

He also criticized the portrayal of the situation's resolver as a heroic journalist and how the journalists praised each other. Treuthardt called the actions stigmatizing, hypocritical, and hindsight. #rasismi #journalismi #yhteiskunta (translated)

Joakim Vigelius criticized Helsingin Sanomat for having, in his opinion, turned a year-old incident into a government racism scandal and hinted that the Finns Party was responsible for the reactions on social media.

Mika Merano wrote that he had observed that some people who consider themselves conscious held the view that opposing Islam was racism. He questioned this interpretation and wondered why a Finn who converted to Islam but still viewed it and its teachings as harmful to Western modern democracies would, in his view, be considered a racist towards another Finn. Merano stated that he did not understand the logic of this reasoning. #rasismi #islam #demokratia (translated)

Yaron Nadbornik criticized Heikki Hiilamo's column published in Yleisradio, stating that it presented a one-sided image connecting the actions of Israel's leadership, Finnish Christian groups, and Minister Antti Häkkänen's visit to the structures of oppression. Nadbornik argued that the column's treatment of Israel and Zionism made Jews collectively responsible and expanded the criticism to also include Israel's supporters and Jews in general. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo's text divided the parties into white and Christian oppressors and non-white and Muslim victims. He said this framing overlooked the Jewish roots, history, and vulnerability in the Middle East, as well as the fact that millions of people from various backgrounds lived in Israel. He also believed that the framework wrongly fit the conflict into a narrative of Western colonialism and racism and presented Israel as a refuge for a people without another homeland. Nadbornik wrote that the prejudices against Jews were based on their otherness. He noted that studies had shown that Jews living in the diaspora were unjustly held accountable for the actions of the state of Israel. He argued that Hiilamo's rhetoric, which connected Christian groups and ministerial visits with the suffering in Gaza, reinforced this framework. Nadbornik recalled the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, describing it as a massacre involving rapes, mutilations, and the abduction of civilians, including babies, festival-goers, and the elderly, into Israel. He called it the largest single act of violence against Jews since the Holocaust. According to Nadbornik, Hiilamo overlooked the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah openly sought the destruction of Israel in connection with Israel's military actions. He believed that framing the terror attack merely as a security threat or comparing it to Russia's invasion of Ukraine ignored the rights of Israeli citizens to exist and be protected. https://t.co/PFvBFdaoiQ #Israel #Juutalaiset #Rasismi (translated)

According to the author, racism is not related to immigration either. He wrote that one can support strict immigration policies and talk about the problems of immigration without constant racist remarks if one cares about equality. https://t.co/Z0mLGPJGkt #rasismi #maahanmuutto #yhdenvertaisuus #FI (translated)

Anne Nevgi wrote that she had read Hiilamo's column and found it full of ideological and anti-Israel interpretations. According to her, the bias of the column was evident in that the facts presented were interpreted in an anti-Israel way and events were framed through colonialism, racism, and whiteness. Nevgi argued that Hamas's brutality was not addressed and the origins of the Gaza conflict were not considered. She stated that the column created a misleading picture and inaccurately equated two different wars. #IsraelinKonflikti #Ideologiat #Propaganda (translated)

Lucia-pulla stated that she had posed several questions to Said Awmuss, to which she had not received answers. She had asked, among other things, what kinds of hobbies Muslim girls could engage in and whether twerking, hip-hop, and ballet were acceptable. Additionally, she inquired about the attitude towards dating a Finnish Christian, marrying a Jew or a Hindu, and the Muslim Brotherhood. On the day of Aleksis Kivi and Finnish literature, Lucia-pulla asked what the Finnish language, literature, and culture meant to Said Awmuss, and urged him to discuss it with her. She also wrote that Islam was not a race or ethnicity but a religion or ideology, and considered discussing racism in this context misleading. According to her, no one is born a Muslim. #uskonto #kulttuuri #kysymykset (translated)
