I wish the west would have the balls to call Israel out too. But eh, one genocide at a time I guess. Fuck China
Its not genocide if my team is doing it. I'm just fighting the terrorists. They're doing the genocide.
If the US and China really do get into a war and bombs start falling all over the East Pacific, I've got to wonder whether the dead in Macau or the Singapore or Indonesia will garner the same pity as the folks in Kiev and the Gaza strip. I've got to wonder how cavalier Americans will feel about war if bombs ever reach their way to Hawaii or California or Texas.
Well.. I'm guessing you don't know about Pearl Harbour? The twin towers perhaps?
Those are the usual responses when America is attacked.
You can crack open a history book and see (with pictures) what America has done in the past when bombed/attacked. You don't have to imagine you're the first person to envision such a thing.
Meanwhile, in US mainstream media...

Took them just 4 months
Impressively short considering how dangerous it is to hold the secular actions of the secular Israeli government to scrutiny in America without being called an anti-semite.
West is calling out Israel - its just following the process rather than throwing words out without investigating
Why didn’t they follow the process with China? OIC did and find nothing wrong https://www.oic-oci.org/docdown/?docID=4447&refID=1250
Are Muslims supposed to be gaslighted into believing the governments enabling their slaughter in Palestine, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Myanmar, care about them? Or is this just about demonizing China?
The IOC spent more time going on about cartoons of the prophet Mohammed or defending China, than war crimes in Syria or Sudan. Maybe you should hold the Americans and Israelis to the same standards as the Arab world which doesn't actually seem to care about Muslim lives either, except when it's politically convenient or fashionable.
It's pretty obvious organisations like the IOC and Arab leaders care more about making money, than they do about Arab lives, which is why they chose to ignore Uyghur Muslim suffering. Luckily for them, useful idiots like you will happily parrot propaganda, conspiracy theories, and useful distractions, ensuring the Arab man on the street will never have an actual say in politics. Which allows Arab leaders to continue doing business as usual, make deals with the Russians, Chinese, Americans and sooner or later even the Israelis.
But hey, the Communist Party of China thanks you for your service.
It's great that you have that one source, but if you went to a school where your writing teachers told you you only needed one source, you didn't go to a very good school. Facts are determined through consensus.
If the west's media lies about Israel, why do you trust them to tell the truth about China?
Lemmy guess; the only true and honest media is Chinese, right?
The only true and honest media is investigating facts for yourself instead of taking anyone's word for something
What hemisphere is CNN from?
