Maybe it’s because Israeli Zionists can’t help but just admit they are doing a genocide at every opportunity.

In none of these other scenarios did someone in power just say they are doing a genocide.

They said the quiet parts out loud, and gleefully. While also having such a ridiculous discrepancy in power and violence.

None of them even do the American BS of “at least pretending to feel a little bad about it”

IOF soldiers are posting funny laughs about how destroyed Gaza is.

This is just Russia/China bad, huh? Doesn't mention Yemen or Rohinga.

Chechnya tried to become an Islamic theocracy and the only country that recognized it as a state when it tried to break away was Taliban-run Afghanistan. It's weird that it made its way into these talking points, even as a "Russia bad" thing.

That was after Chechens and Ingush people were mass deported during operation lentil. If someone can provide me with a book or credible online sources as to why the NKVD thought the Chechens were collaborating with the Nazis that would great.

I was also interested in the reason for this and I checked Wikipedia, and the citations around this link back to one possible book by Svante E. Cornell: Small Nations and Great Powers: A Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict in the Caucasus. I can't guarantee the quality or that there's no reflexive anticommunism, but it seems quite long and goes into the Chechen autonomous rebel armies which were anti-Soviet during WW2.

These people have the DOD and infinite propaganda resources at their disposal and fail to generate any awareness for their causes then get mad at everyone else lol. What do they want?

I thought Chinese government international messaging was bad but like... Damn.

At least China doesn't accidentally generate propaganda against itself, like when that IOF account tried to ape the red triangle by plastering stars of David on exploding apartment blocks.

Amerikkkan Christian Zionists are by far the most dangerous and depraved Zionists, which is impressive considering what the Israeli Zionists are up to.

also, this argument is pure projection; this person does not care about the persecution of any of those people except as a tool to deflect from Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

💯

Said many times before: even if we accept for the sake of argument that the Uyghur genocide is real and on the same scale of what is happening in Palestine (something I've not heard even the fiercest advocates claim):

The fact of the matter is that I am an American citizen living in America and therefore I have what I see as a self evident moral obligation to focus on and address the things my own government is directly complicit in right now before I start trying to hold China accountable. These people don't actually give a shit about human lives and rights beyond the ways they can be used as a cynical political cudgel.
