kinda hard to hide in this day and age of technology.

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.

Unfortunately there are members of the Palestinian diaspora I know claiming that Xinjiang is part of the globalized war on Muslims. I’m choosing to not engage with them on this out of respect for the moment, but at some point its gonna need to be addressed how they are parroting propaganda from the very same mouthpieces that are manufacturing consent for their own genocide happening right now in front of us.

I’ve also seen this, it’s very unfortunate. It really goes to show the power of US propaganda. Their media monopoly is one of their last exports tho, and eventually it will fade, just takes time.

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.
