@@NPK476 You seriously know nothing. Comparing Roman occupation of Turkey and Israeli occupation of Palestine is completely different. Romans do not belong in Turkey because they are obviously not indigenous to the land. Palestinians belong in Palestine because they are indigenous to the land. It’s not about who owned who how many years ago it is about indigenous peoples’ rights to their land. And just because Palestine lost in 1948 doesn’t change a thing. 90 years before India’s independence they lost to the British. If you think Israel should own Palestinian land because they started occupying it 80 years ago then in that sense you should believe India and other colonies should belong to Europeans.

[@davidanderson1639]

Whilst I don’t condone the horrific acts that have been carried out in Gaza since last October, part of me wonders whether those protesting would put the same amount of effort into protesting against the treatment of the Uyghur Muslims by the Chinese Government? In addition to the arbitrary detention of Uyghurs in state-sponsored camps, government policies have included forced labor, suppression of Uyghur religious practices, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception, and forced abortion. Experts estimate that, since 2017, some sixteen thousand mosques have been razed or damaged, and hundreds of thousands of children have been forcibly separated from their parents and sent to boarding schools. Chinese government statistics reported that from 2015 to 2018, birth rates in the mostly Uyghur regions of Hotan and Kashgar fell by more than 60%. In the same period, the birth rate of the whole country decreased by 9.69%. Chinese authorities acknowledged that birth rates dropped by almost a third in 2018 in Xinjiang, but denied reports of forced sterilization and genocide. Birth rates in Xinjiang fell a further 24% in 2019, compared to a nationwide decrease of 4.2%. These actions have been described as the forced assimilation of Xinjiang, or as an ethnocide or cultural genocide, or as genocide. Those accusing China of genocide point to intentional acts committed by the Chinese government that they say run afoul of Article II of the Genocide Convention, which prohibits "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part," a "racial or religious group" including "causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group" and "measures intended to prevent births within the group". Do the lives of Uyghurs matter less than those in Palestine; or is it a case that the narrative fits?

This is mob rule, driven by emotions over reason, leading to chaos and injustice.
