China about Uyghurs
Didn't a bunch of Muslim countries actually ask China about Uyghurs (and even visit Xinjiang) and they left unanimously content with the response?
Yes. The only country worried about it is the same one that's actually killed millions of Muslims over the last 20 years
Israel or America?
Yes
They only did it to bring them democracy!
Well yeah, of course I'd trust the experts in genocide over countries that have no experience.
should be easy enough for you to provide a legitimate source to this claim.
please note the word "legitimate"
"The five-day visit took place last week and included envoys from countries including Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and Pakistan. The >delegation visited the provincial capital Urumqi in addition to Kashgar and Aksu prefectures. They were met by Ma Xingrui, secretary of the >Party Committee of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
A spokesperson for theFforeign Ministry, Hua Chunying said the diplomats visited mosques, Islamic schools, museums, old city renovation, >grassroots communities, technology enterprises, green development and rural revitalisation projects.
“Members of the delegation expressed that the Chinese government adheres to the people-centred approach and has made great >achievements in promoting the governance and development of Xinjiang,” she said." Algeria’s Ambassador to China, Hassane Rabehi, was quoted by local media as saying, “The fruit here is so sweet, just like the life of the >people here”, adding that he got to know the “real situation” of Xinjiang, where the rights of people of all ethnic groups are well protected, >said reports.
Following the event, a press release by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that envoys expressed that “freedom of religious belief and >various rights of Muslims are duly guaranteed.” And that what the delegation saw and heard along the way “is completely different from what >some Western media reported.”
Per https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/middle-east-monitor/
"MEMO generally supports Islamist positions" "the Middle East Monitor promotes a strongly pro-Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Hamas viewpoint" " We could not find any instances of the Middle East Monitor failing fact checks"
The source in this article is a direct quote from government officials both China and from the countries that sent the delegates. If in fact there was a "genocide" I would expect a "pro-Muslim" news outlet to agree with what western media is spouting.
Does this pass your legitimacy test? If not, why?
The other reply to this post provides a pretty legitimate source.
But, well, it's not exactly hard to Google.
I bet they did according to Xi and the CCP, but not in reality.
Even if they did, they're probably faking it because trade with China is more important to them than human rights, just like the US and Saudi Arabia or the other Western countries and the US..
Russians about Crimea and Donbass
"aborigines" is not a great word to use these days. It's generally seen as pretty offensive to Indigenous Australians as it's a bit dehumanising and comes from colinisers who treated people like animals.
Better to go with "First Nations people", "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people" or "Indigenous Australians."
But yes, they've been treated (and in many cases continue to be treated) pretty horribly.
Thanks. I kinda knew it wasn't great, but didn't know the correct term.

australia has much more shit going.... like storing asylumseekers in some far away islands
The one that confuses me, is the statement about the Irish.
I guess you could say ask the Catholic church about Irish mother and baby homes. But the meme was doing nations.
Blaming the Catholic Church is a good way to start but the argument that Irish people were led astray by the Church is pretty much the same argument as those who seek to divorce the Wehrmacht from complicity in SS atrocities. In both cases the answer is that they shared vital infrastructure with each other and ranking officials could have stopped the excesses, which they had full knowledge of, if they'd have disagreed with it.
Ask them about their tax avoidance schemes for big tech
