Foreign Minister Wang Yi's remarks came as Israel appeared poised for a ground offensive against Hamas militants in Gaza.

“It’s brutal and inhumane what they’re doing to their minority Muslim population”

Both countries say to the other

[–] WhatAmLemmy 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The CCP is angry because of all the wasted slave labor.

Israel isn't even putting their slaves to good use!

Just put them in reeducation camps, worked wonders for the Uyghurs right?

There are probably some perfectly good kidneys in there getting all blown up.

Just because one may be a hypocrite doesn’t make them wrong.

"That's not how you do a genocide, you idiots. You do it like this."

Both sides are frustratingly stupid. Both sides are doing absolutely vile and inhumane things. Both sides will never stop because both sides are fucking stupid

We need the global community to step in and remove both natenyahu and Abbas and give the younger generation, who are not so hateful towards each other a chance to coexist together

[–] EatBorekYouWreck 12 points 8 months ago

Abbas is not the leader of Hamas. I actually really appreciate his take on current events. He said he condemns the death of civilians and calls for the release of the kidnapped prisoners.

But keep in mind that Hamas murdered all the Palestinian officials and officers in Gaza back in 2006-2008, they are not so friendly to each other.

It's going to take more than the removal of the problem. It's been a constant problem with the United States and friends that they all just figure. Go in take out the top guy. And much of the infrastructure Bingo Bongo everyone that was repressed is now suddenly free to have a decent life. With no infrastructure and no leadership. When the problem itself really remains and still has the infrastructure to build an intensity again.

The only real answer is to give them a path to properly be part of society and feel they have a stake in it. That is the one thing that makes people less resentful and less likely to try to destroy said society. And that's going to take generations of dedication. Not just removing Netanyahu unfortunately.

Rich words from a country putting muslims in reducation camps.

"Forced labor camp"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

How evil do you have to be to be too evil for China?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

A hallow criticism, given that china runs forced labour camps full of Uyghur people (and political prisoners), and is in territory dispute with every neighbor. Not the mention, successfully erased the Tibetan people, and is doing the same to Muslims now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If you think about it, it is quite an accomplishment that they managed to make communist Vietnam dislike them so much, that they'd rather engage in relatively close military ties with the US. Public opinion towards the US is also surprisingly good. I mean, the US committed plenty of atrocities during the war, so you'd expect them to be far more negative than those towards China.

[–] emax_gomax 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Much worse than just labor. Their literally sterilising the uyghurs in their detention centres.

[–] Starkstruck 3 points 8 months ago

They're not wrong, but they're huge hypocrites.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

TIL China won't take significant military action if you launch some rockets at their cities
