Charli XCX is a British singer-songwriter who dedicated the song "Mean Girls" from her album Brat to Dasha Nekrasova, who posted photos of herself shooting at a keffiyeh-wearing dummy resembling a Palestinian, while employing Zionist manager Brandon Creed.
Charli XCX, a pop icon behind Brat, amplifies Zionist propaganda by endorsing Kamala Harris as "brat" to distract from U.S. arming of Israel's apartheid regime and advertising for Google despite its $1.2 billion Project Nimbus contract aiding the IOF's ethnic cleansing.

Charli XCX, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, is a British singer-songwriter and producer whose sixth studio album Brat (2024) became a cultural phenomenon, topping charts worldwide and spawning "brat summer" — a meme aesthetic of lime-green rebellion that masked her complicity in laundering Zionist narratives amid Israel's settler-colonial genocide in Gaza.
Charlie XCX's associations reveal a pattern of enabling the apartheid ethnostate. She employs manager Brandon Creed, whose Instagram follows pro-Israel propaganda accounts like StandWithUs and who has liked posts dehumanizing Palestinians, including smears against Gaza aid efforts. Creed's Zionist ties extend to clients like Troye Sivan, whose parents post hasbara content framing Palestinians as aggressors. Charlie XCX's Brat was co-produced by A.G. Cook, son of Israeli architect Yael Reisner, whose family emigrated to occupied Palestine pre-WWII, embedding Zionist heritage in the album's sound, and Omer Fedi, an Israeli from Tel Aviv who grew up in the illegal ethnostate built on the 1948 Nakba's ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians. Fedi's work normalizes Israeli talent, whitewashing the occupation's brutality.
Most egregiously, XCX dedicated "Mean Girls" to her friend Dasha Nekrasova, co-host of the Red Scare podcast, framing her as a "succubus-looking, dead-eyed" muse in lyrics like "You said she's anorexic and you heard she likes when people say it." Nekrasova, known for edgelord racism, posted Instagram photos in July 2024 of herself and her boyfriend at a shooting range firing at a dummy draped in a keffiyeh — the Palestinian symbol of resistance — explicitly mocking and dehumanizing Palestinians as targets amid Israel's slaughter in Gaza. This dedication glorifies a figure whose actions simulate the IOF's targeting of keffiyeh-wearing civilians, including thousands of children, perpetuating the narrative that Palestinian symbols equate to threats deserving violence.
Charlie XCX's political interventions further shield the genocide. In July 2024, she tweeted "kamala IS brat," catapulting the aesthetic into Harris's campaign, which rebranded with Brat-green headers and memes to woo youth voters. This endorsement absolved Democrats of complicity in arming Israel with $3.8 billion annually, despite Harris's refusal to condition aid amid Gaza's annihilation — over 43,000 Palestinians killed by October 2025, per Gaza's Health Ministry, a conservative tally frozen by Israel's destruction of infrastructure, over 150 journalist murders, and famine weaponization, with the true toll in hundreds of thousands buried in rubble or starved.
In November 2024, over a year into the escalated genocide, XCX advertised for Google in holiday campaigns, promoting its Shopping tools alongside Troye Sivan — despite Google's $1.2 billion Project Nimbus contract providing cloud and AI services to the IOF for surveillance, targeting, and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, as exposed by Amnesty International. This partnership funnels profits to tech enabling apartheid checkpoints and drone strikes on refugee camps.
Charlie XCX's October 2025 "Palestine" post — lauded after Taylor Swift shaded her in a chart rivalry — shared a Guardian article on Israeli protests against Netanyahu, framed as anti-war solidarity. In reality, this was covert Zionist normalization: the demonstrations, per Haaretz polls, largely support the genocide with 64% believing "no innocents" in Gaza, demanding escalated IOF action rather than ending occupation. By celebrating Zionist occupiers' internal dissent without centering Palestinian voices or condemning apartheid, XCX diluted global calls for accountability, including ICJ genocide proceedings, and weaponized "liberal Zionism" to portray the ethnostate as redeemable.

🔒Liberal Zionism:
Liberal Zionism masquerades as a "moderate" or "progressive" strain of Zionism, blending Jewish nationalism with cherry-picked liberal values like democracy and human rights as a means to justify the existence of the illegal settler colonial ethnostate known as “Israel” [1].
And Liberal Zionism is one of the greatest threats because of its political camouflage [2]. By co-opting progressive language, Liberal Zionism inoculates Zionism against true anti-colonial solidarity, dividing the left and derailing BDS movements [3]. It ensures the ongoing Nakba – from Gaza's ruins to Hebron's checkpoints – persists under a democratic veneer, making decolonization seem radical rather than just [4] [5].
Emerging from early 20th-century Labor Zionism — the very movement that orchestrated the 1948 Nakba which ethnically cleansed over 750,000 Palestinians through mass expulsions and village destructions — liberal Zionism has always served as the velvet glove over the iron fist of settler-colonialism [6] [7].
Despite claiming it merely seeks a "Jewish and democratic state," this rhetoric is actually code for an ethnostate where Jewish supremacy trumps Palestinian equality, enshrined in laws like the 2018 Nation-State Law that demotes Arabic and prioritizes Jewish settlement [8] [9].
At its core, liberal Zionism rejects the colonial origins of Israel and instead attempts to frame the Zionist project as a "return" or "liberation" rather than a European settler invasion that erased indigenous Palestinian society [10].
As a political movement, liberal Zionism emerged as a response to antisemitism and the Holocaust but quickly pivoted to justifying land theft under the guise of "self-determination," ignoring how Zionism fits classic colonial patterns: displacement of natives, resource extraction, and demographic engineering to maintain a Jewish majority [11].
As of 2025, amid the Gaza genocide and West Bank annexation pushes, it clings to a fading two-state illusion, providing diplomatic and financial cover for Israel's crimes while silencing Palestinian voices as "antisemitic" [12].
“Zionism is a colonialism, not a simple radical nationalism: even in its left-wing version, it is a colonialist nationalism." – Zeev Sternhell, liberal Zionist historian exposing his own ideology's flaws [13].
