Tell that to the people of Bucha, of Lyman, of Maruipol.
Those are YOUR words not mine. Keep your strawman to yourself.
No mention of Xinjiang? Or was that just a war to you? Which army was defending the Uyghur people?
Ok, not sure what this has to do with them but sure. If they are curious I will point out that this is not in fact a war, not even close.
….and stop trying to sidetrack this conversation, other genocides and atrocities existing has no bearing on my outrage over a genocide the US is directly enabling right now.
How dare you use whataboutism for genocides as if bringing up one makes another less awful, what a repulsive and cynical way to see the world.
Tens of thousands of them are dead as victims of genocide. Actions that happened before October 8th 2023.
Check your righteous indignation and your ADDITIONAL strawman at the door please.
You've got yourself so whipped up into a frenzy about Gaza you're blinding yourself to anything that isn't that. The discussion you put yourself into was whether Gaza was the FIRST or not. The only person that suggested that genocide wasn't happening FIRST was you when you said only Gaza was genocide.
EDIT: added the missing word FIRST to the second sentence
..what? When did I say that?
Right here:
Do you need me to give you a link to your post?
EDIT: In my prior post I missed the word FIRST in the second sentence. Here's a correction of my sentence:
The discussion you put yourself into was whether Gaza was the FIRST or not. The only person that suggested that genocide wasn’t happening FIRST was you when you said only Gaza was genocide.
