    Misinterpretated? What’s the misinterpretation? That there isn’t a genocide happening in the middle east? Or that it’s okay if the ones doing the genociding were victims of a previous genocide?

      Looks like you are the one misinterpreting. Are you going to recognize the genocide against the Uyghurs by China, or are you going to deny it is happening?

        Wtf are you going about? Recognizing the genocide being perpetuated against the Palestinians does not mean you can’t recognize the one against the Uyghurs. Of course that’s a genocide, too

            Weak.

            It’s a public forum and I’m talking to you. If you don’t want public input, don’t participate in public places.

              If you can’t handle people not willing to respond to you when they are talking to somebody else don’t participate in public places

                Oh, I can handle it. I was just letting you know that to say “I’m not talking to you” in a public forum is dumb, kinda like you seem to be.

        I recognize all current genocides. Now will you stop using other genocide to justify another?

          That isn’t what I’m doing. That’s what you’re saying I’m doing. Big difference.

              I’m 100% on topic and not deflecting. Anything. You saying I’m deflecting does not make it so.

              There is a genocide against the Palestinians by Israel happening in Gaza right now.

              See how easy it is to just say it.

              Now you say the same about the Uyghurs.

        We’re not selling weapons to China for use in their genocide.

        We are selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide. Which is why you’re whatabouting.

        Hey just for future reference so you don’t sound like a bigot, not all Muslims live in the Middle East.

          How does pointing out that Muslims live in China mean that I think all Muslims live in the Middle East?

    “We didn’t intend for ‘Never again’ to be a political statement! It was just supposed to be virtue signaling!”

    So just virtue signaling. But when such messaging actually matters they cower under pressure from fascists.

    Whoopsie, we upset some wealthy Zionist donors, so we retract all statements on inclusivity and have decided to change our motto to “definitely again”.
