Funny, how only the International Community™ are the only ones who condemn China about Xinjiang while Muslim countries support China. If China were really genociding Muslims, wouldn’t Muslim countries care a bit more about what’s going on?

I still don’t get it (forgive me for being dense)

  • US supports the genocide of Palestine
  • China supports the genocide of Uighurs

Is this really not a case of the Pot calling the kettle black?

I feel like I’m being baited into posting links, so I won’t - but on duckduckduckgo schreib “!w Xianjiang Int* ca*ps”

Wikipedia tends to be a good source of information.

Strange cause I don’t see any evidence of a genocide…kinda hard to hide in this day and age of technology. Or are you just repeating what the Western media says?

This is the bit that confuses me. Before October people could say that they’ve weighed up the evidence and you can at least logically see how they get to ‘genocide’ based on the evidence they’ve deemed ‘credible’.

But now? Now there’s a real genocide happening right in front of us. We’re seeing what a real genocide looks like, and we’re seeing how hard it is to hide. How the fuck are there people who still think there’s one happening in Xinjiang?

I used to think that the one sliver of silver lining that was coming out of Palestine was that Western Governments and Private Media had destroyed their credibility by blatantly backing Israel and spinning the coverage. But nope. The West is hopeless with Sinophobia: either unaware of how bad they have it, or pretending they don’t.

Well yes, but also a colleague of mine is from there. He had to fight tooth and nail to get his family out and he told be often of the horrors faced by his people.

I also dated a Beijing girl for a year and she was very much of the opinion that nothing was wrong, but she was incredibly dense about a lot of things to the point that I no lover trusted her opinion.

Remember also that a big aspect of colonizer guilt, is accusing your enemies of that which you are guilty of (the west accusing China of being anti-muslim, accusing the USSR of anti-semitism, etc) This is why average USonians can’t accept the idea that other countries haven’t committed genocide, and are not as evil as theirs is, and default to a “all countries bad”.

Palestine

Create post

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose “defence force”'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
