      Any real actions from the UN have to come from the UN Security Council, which is paralyzed by the veto power of its permanent members (US, UK, Russia, France, China).

    From the news papers who go to interview wounded civilians and straight up turn away when the civilians disagree with them ^^

    I’m not sure they’ve been ‘unparalleled’ this month, let alone compared to the other current wars and the ethnic cleansing in China.

      We’re seeking something like 20-25k dead in the last 6 weeks - 1/57th of the entire population killed or wounded. What are you thinking of that exceeds that?

        likely, even worse if you count the missing there’s around 12 million of them according to beijing and they’re getting mass murdered all throughout the years. The thing is, to them it doesn’t last six weeks per year

          I’m assuming you’re all talking about the Uyghur genocide. I wouldn’t downplay it for a second, but the simple reality is that they’re not being exterminated through a rapid act of carpet bombing by high-powered airstrikes, the degree and brutality of the killing going on in Gaza right now is unlike anything I’ve seen in my entire life. To cleave to the point here, which is, “do other ongoing genocides exceed this one in terms of killing of civilians”.

          It may be the case that the long-term death toll is higher, considering how many years it’s been happening, though downplaying what’s happening in Gaza on that basis, I mean, let’s not wait for that comparison to flip.

      How many are dead in China?

      I didn’t understand how people could deny the Holocaust, but now I get it.

        Unknown, they won’t let anyone go near the Hong Kong protestor or Uyghurs camps. But they don’t come back after being rounded up. Effectively China is Germany in 1943: “No one has died in these Jewish relocation camps” to china’s current: No dissenter has died in our (forced) relocation communities, also no you can’t look at them.

          I thought they had invited a bunch of Muslim countries (basically every relevant one) to Xinjiang and every country came out of it stating that they thought China was doing well managing the rather shitty situation they were dealt?

          It’s rather telling that the map of which countries are opposed to China’s management of Xinjiang and the map of which countries recognize the State of Palestine basically forms a disjoint set (give or take Turkey).

          Clearly one side is in the wrong here… And, well, only one side is openly bombing hospitals and schools and explicitly targeting residential areas with large munitions.
