      the best bit is:

      because they already reject a huge body of evidence that proves otherwise, they’ve stumbled into literally deconstructing their own Uighur genocide narrative with their own dogshit definitions

        they’ve already forgotten that ever happened

        until the next time they open a thread about China, at which point they’ll forget about Israel and Palestine

        I think it’s a weak argument with the Uighur genocide to point to increasing population, but to be fair the full argument is that the population is increasing AND there’s no refugee crisis AND there’s literally no evidence of genocide at all that wasn’t just the made up ramblings of Adrian Zenz.

          There’s more Uyghurs, and they’re living longer, and they’re more educated, and they have better housing conditions, and they make more money, all taken together makes it very hard to make out genocide.

        Yeah if the government wanted to do a genocide why would they exclude the allegedly genocided minorities from the harsh population control laws. Like they’re literally making a law to decrease the population. You’d think that would be the perfect time to target it at minorities unfairly if you wanted to do genocide, but they didn’t.

    they are intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure because they want to ethnically cleanse the region. they have said this again and again and again. The fucking “well what is a genocide, really?” when government officials are talking about how Palestinians aren’t human and need to be purged is such horseshit.

      The second dipshit trying to say you have to kill all of them for it to be genocide is also just wrong. The UN definition states that genocide is a variety actions taken “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

      What Israel is doing is genocide, with no room for debate, and both these people should get the barbara-pit

    I’m surprised I haven’t seen some smuglord connect xinjiang to people shooting down the growth rates charts on Gaza. It was used heavily by leftists as a point to cut through the Xinjiang bullshit.

    What they don’t seem to realise is that it worked for leftists there because forced sterilisation for the cause of an ethnic Han supremacist takeover was part of the myth, not just murdering 2 million people in non-existent industrial deathcamps that also didn’t show up in the numbers.

      I mean for that reason specifically that argument seemed very poorly reasoned to me. Makes it way too easy for them to retreat to less absurd claims of things that are still not happening, but still genocide, like forced secularization and cultural suppression.

        Please do! I want you to hold my community to the strictest, most fair standards you put upon yourselves.

        Perhaps that way we can find some common ground eventually? I’m not opposed to the idea. Even been talking to a few different members of this community already (in private, of course).

          Stop playing games. You think you’re the first person to believe they’re clever and can play games with us here?

          Absolutely nobody believes the community that chooses SJW as its acronym specifically to attract an edgelord conservative crowd is acting in good faith, and never will.

          You honestly have to think we’re completely fucking stupid.

      “It’s a genocide, but it’s the Palestinians’ fault” is actually a worse take than denying genocide entirely. Fuck yourself. Mods, ban this piece of shit. Hope you die painfully.

      Enjoy your racist shithole of a community

      Edit:

      Wow you got a new racist image for your anti communist sub. Progress!

        No–the death of innocents is never okay. Where did I say it’s okay?

        I specifically mentioned that it does not justify Israel’s violence and pointed out that they were killing innocents well before the creation of Hamas and other terrorist groups from that area.

        Likewise you can also view my SJW account where I point out that Israel is indeed performing genocide onto Gaza and that Israel cannot be trusted

          There’s some fair clause that it is a genocide, though if it is, it goes both ways. That and most of the conditions that Palestine and Gaza put themselves in are from their own mistakes and faults in the past,

          genocide, though if it is, goes both ways.

          You cast doubt on it being a genocide and claim that it’s the citizens of Palestine’s fault for being genocided in the screenshot you’re using to defend yourself.

          Also,

          Attacking their neighbouring countries and Europe.

          When has any Palestinian group attacked Europe?

            I don’t think saying some fair clause is doubt that it is indeed genocide. I’ve made multiple comments already claiming that it is indeed a genocide. I mean, come on, separating people by their creed? That’s genocide.

            I don’t blame the citizens either, they need safety and prosperity, and it is never their fault for what violent men do. However, terrorists have made peace treaties, especially that of the Oslo Accords, rather difficult for both sides to maintain peace. Terrorist attacks, Israel responds with more violence, terrorists respond with even more violence, and so on and so forth. It’s awful.

            When has any Palestinian group attacked Europe?

            Quite a few times, unfortunately.

              Roald Dahl famously said:

              “There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere.”

              You would agree that this is an antisemitic statement, yes? That it puts blame on Jews for their own genocide?

              How is this statement:

              That and most of the conditions that Palestine and Gaza put themselves in are from their own mistakes and faults in the past

              Not of a similar character?

          So… I took you up on this and, well:

          I don’t know if this is a regionalism where “point out Israel cannot be trusted” means “defend Israel killing medical personnel and bombing hospitals” or something.
