Yes or no question. Do you think Israel is commiting [sic] genocide in Palestine?

I don’t know enough about that conflict to allege genocide. I do think Israel should stop occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip at the bare minimum though. I think alleging genocide is a very serious matter, as it downplays the Holocaust if alleged to something that isn’t.

put his own citizens to death for wanting basic freedoms

I wasn’t talking about the U.S.

I don’t intend to praise any actual atrocities — if the allegations in the UN report are true, those things should be condemned. I don’t remember reading in the UN report about that happening though, so please provide a source.

So why would Muslim leaders not care about that?

Maybe they genuinely do believe the “re-education” camps are actually a net positive.

Can tankies go 5 minutes without saying "but the US bad too!" Challenge (impossible)

Like I fucking despise the US and everything they represent, but we're not talking about them.

I brought up the U.S. to ask if you think they’re committing genocide, since they’re actually doing what you’re accusing China of doing, or if genocide only applies to countries you don’t like.

If this is whataboutism, then what do you call bringing up Israel?
