You're making my point. China is literally wiping out the Uighurs. There's no hair-splitting or propagandizing about it. They're committing actual genocide.

You're making my point. China is literally wiping out the Uighurs. There's no hair-splitting or propagandizing about it. They're committing actual genocide. But besides a few mentions here and there, the international community is doing nothing about it. If it were at all proportional, the stories and condemnation should be in the news every day.
But instead, we see more media coverage in a single day of Israel's counter attacks from rocket fire than we do for a year of Uighur genocide.
- Macha 5y agoThe news gets bored. It's why settlements don't make the news but it makes the news when it rises to armed conflict. Israel has already been pushed out of the news cycle by Belarus here. There were plenty of news stories about the Uighurs last year. The international community is not doing much about Israel either.
- 8note 5y agoIf it weren't for oil and the Suez canal, nobody would care about Israel's genocide either. The area currently has geopolitical importance. Once global warming makes the canal less relevant, and renewables replace oil, Israel will get to wipe out the Palestinians in peace
- myfavoritedog 5y agoNah, what will happen is that after renewables replace oil and the Palestinians keep firing rockets, people like you will find a new spin to claim that some grave injustice is being done because the Israelis defend themselves. Anyone who looks at the power dynamic knows the truth of the saying: If the Palestinians put down their weapons, there would be peace. If the Israelis put down their weapons, they would be slaughtered.
