It's how the genocide on native populations has worked everywhere else, too, so we already know the playbook.
Such as?

you would be very hard pressed to find anyone Native American who is happy seeing anyone in a mass produced war bonnet.
I'd argue this is the exception, especially due to the history specific to the location where this kind of costume is common. Admittedly I come from a mixed East Asian background so my bias is based on people calling out appropriation for ao dais and kimonos and the like.
To me it seems like you're misattributing your reaction to those wearing the costume. I disagree that a person wearing a costume has the onus to research its history. That should be on the producer/retailer.
I also disagree that a consumer should buy from the source. It's a lot of effort and responsibility you're placing on someone that likely has no intent for offense, when it's simply easier and more reasonable to understand the context of the wearer and realise it's not really an issue.
Well, according to al jazeera they dropped 6000 bombs - 4000 tonnes - from Oct 7 - Oct 12.
As of 2nd Nov the number was 25000 tonnes. Let's say that's 25000 bombs.
Pretty terrible death rate for that number considering the options available.
We know their intentions, Israeli officials say it plainly
I thought they only lied though. I guess you can always pick and choose which parts you believe.
It's obvious to me that wearing someone's culture as a costume is fucked up
Why is it fucked up?
create anything new, it can just remix old stuff.
Same thing different phrasing.
an unfunny reference to a since forgotten peanut butter slogan.
Yep. Jiffy is only used for peanut butter. Great point!
break too hard and end up with balls flying off the table
That's not breaking too hard. That's lack of control on the cue ball.
