To be clear, these are the guys who joined Al Nusra (which later rebranded to HTS) and allied with ISIS.

    They might want to start with Israel, but props to them.

      Israel is not the one committing genocide against the Uyghurs. China is. So they might want to start with the people committing genocide against them.

      I swear, people think there’s only one genocide going on or that it’s the only one that matters or something…

        Yeah, there’s at least 6 active genocides happening right now but the hypocrisy of Jews doing one really puts it at the forefront.

          China was the victim of a genocidal Japanese regime. So I would say that’s just as hypocritical. There were just too many Chinese to decimate as thoroughly.

              I think you’ll find Chinese schools do not mince words about what happened after the Japanese invaded Manchuria.

              I’m sorry, you’re not going to win this “Israelis are the bigger hypocrites” thing. They’re both hypocrites who are committing genocide after being victims of a genocide in living memory.

                you thought there was a win condition? hold up

                people think there’s only one genocide going on

                Israel is getting all the media coverage. That’s it, that’s the entire reason.

                The average person doesn’t know South Sudan is a bad place to be a Nuer because no one told them.

                  You tried to argue that Israelis are the bigger hypocrites because somehow Israelis know more about the genocide that Jews in Europe went through than Chinese people do about what the Chinese went through in China at the exact same time when that isn’t the case. The Israelis and the Chinese are both fully aware that their people suffered a genocide in the 1930s and 1940s.

                  I’m not sure what this has to do with the average person unless you mean the average Chinese person or the average Israeli, in which case, my point stands. They are equally hypocritical and equally know why.

      They were supported by Israel due to Assad’s support for Palestine.

      Hence why HTS has ordered Palestinian organizations that Assad was harboring to disarm.

      I don’t expect much from liberals, but I am still shocked how quickly yall came around to supporting the psychotically evil faction Israel and Turkey support for their use against Palestine’s ally, Assad, and Turkey’s enemy, the Kurds.

      Even in the 2010s, supporting ISIS and their allies even though they opposed Assad was beyond the pale.
