On one hand, we have a well documented campaign of murdreing civilians and trying to drive them out of their territory permanently, with constant video and photographic evidence to back it up.

On the other hand, we have some questionable anecdotes and blurry satellite photos of some schools and governmental facilities in a country with over a billion people walking around with video cameras in their pockets.

Guess which one the US considers a clear genocide.

It has never been more clear that Xinjiang shit is pure, unadulterated projection. There is 100% a genocide against muslims going on, but it's nowhere near China.

They've been genociding Muslims for years now, why do they suddenly care about Uyghurs in China?

Singaporean ex-diplomat said in one video…paraphrase: “The US is famous for 2 things, hating the Chinese and the Muslims. Now you expect us to believe they care so much about Chinese Muslims???” (laugh)

These ghouls really love projecting and being hypocrites.

Man I hate this dude

The history of the Middle East since 1948 shows Israel constantly striving for peace, only to be rebuffed time and again by the Arabs.

-- Antony J. Blinken, "Lebanon and the Facts", 1982

Israel is not, has never been, nor will ever be the irreproachable, perfectly moral state some of its supporters would like to see. Israelis are, after all, only human. Still, one pedestal the Jewish state can stand on--and stand on alone in the Middle East--is that of a democracy. Yes, there are tragic excesses in the occupied territories. True, the invasion of Lebanon claimed many innocent lives. The fact remains, though, that Israelis question themselves and their government openly and honestly. Eventually, as in other democracies, those responsible for wrongdoing are held accountable.

-- Antony J. Blinken, "Israel's Saving Grace", 1982

The summer of 1982 may be remembered in history as the time Israel passed from adolescence to adulthood. The illusions of a child are left behind. But the Jewish state remains special, an oasis in a desert. Its citizens have built a working democracy from scratch in a region that has no others. Israelis must treasure that democracy, protect it with all their will. For if they don't, the growing pains that are Lebanon, Shatila and Sabra, the repression of Arabs and the feud between Ashkenazim and Sephardim could turn into a plague.

-- Antony J. Blinken, "The Danger Within", 1983

So the Western block has zero democracies, thanks for saying it out loud 👍

Why won't China just sanction his ass? Literally just sanction him and say that he's already supporting genocide

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

that would be pretty funny actually

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

The majority of the world is not going against China on this one so why bother too much?

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought this was all basically totally dropped once it was tied back to that guy in that "totally not the CIA" "totally not a cult" "religious group" Falun Gong shit. Pretty sure those weirdos were behind the "very organic" pro-Hong Kong (whatever that even means. Hong Kong is fine) protests becoming big in the US, helping spread anti-Chinese conspiracies around covid, bunch of shit from laughable to actually life threatening

[–] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I don't know of any links between Adrian Zenz and his ETIM buddies and Falun Gong aside from their mutual friends at Langley, but I may have missed something. In any case, libs never really dropped it (what we consider proof there isn't anything untoward going on is ignored and played off as "CCP propaganda"), it just kind of went to sleep once the situation in Ukraine flared up.

He is what we call his-face-is-washed-with-piss, a shameless hypocrite.
