US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”

Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”

There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.

    “Yes it wouldn’t be a genocide”

    Cultural genocide is genocide. Another example is the Uyghur genocide which you probably deny too.

      Cultural genocide is genocide.

      Citation needed. What legal documents codify it?

      Another example is the Uyghur genocide which you probably deny too.

      Neither the UN, nor your empire’s leadership believes that such a genocide has ever happened. This is just another case of ‘Iraq has WMDs’ that you eagerly buy because designated enemies of your empire are lying untermenschen, apparently.

      “Cultural genocide” is some bullshit the US made up so they could accuse China of a genocide even though there’s nobody dying, try harder patriot

      I’m going by UN and ICC defintions, removal of children from war zones is a war crime but not genocide, read Putins warrant at some point he’s charged with one but not the other

      I’m not sure what defintion you’re using beyond ‘goverment I don’t like does bad thinks so that’s genocide’

      And again how can you condemn Russia’s ‘genocide’ in Ukraine, but not condemn the western collation’s(US, UK, Ukraine etc) same and more severe actions in its invasions and occupations of sovereign countries in the last few decades? why are only white victims worthy of your sympathy? your refusal to condemn that combined with your white washing of nazis makes your ideological position clear yo anyone reading this exchange

      I agree that CCP has persecuted the Muslim minority in Xinjang and i condemn it, but I also recognise that the west as committed far more severe human rights abuses agaisnt Muslims domestically and abroad but I’m guessing you don’t condemn that cultural and actual genocide? why?

      and yes the argument can be made that there has been cultural genocide, UN investigations have shown no evidence of actual genocide i.e mass killings in Xinjang, statementsof genocidal intent etc

      Unlike the actions of the west in Iraq and Afghanistan, dont you think it strange that the Xinjang cultural genocide is constantly derided in western corperate press and by those who’s worldview is shaped exclusively by it like yourself, whereas the cultural and actual genocide being committed by the west isnt?

      Can’t you see the fact that you condemn China’s human rights abuses but not the wests cultural and actual genocide show your concern to motivate by cynical politics rather than actual empathy for religious and ethnic minorities?

        I do condemn Western human rights abused and invasions. You are bringing them up to distract from Russia’s crimes and I will not stand for that.

        The UN and ICC definitions are incomplete. I use the definition of the person who originally coined the term.
