    That’s not a point in either’s favor. That’s a moral wash.

    Ok, you’re either trolling or been fed a lot of misinformation. The problem is about recency and extensiveness, and China is worse on both.

      The USA has killed orders of magnitudes more people in the last few years. Just, objectively.

      Is your point here that China’s actions against Uyghurs is more recent and extensive than the US’s part in Gaza?

        Recent, extensive, and active. The US doesn’t have a direct part in Gaza, China has a direct part in the issues w/ the Uyghurs.

        I’m not saying the US is innocent here, just that they’re very different situations.

          The US doesn’t have a direct part in Gaza

          This argument is incredibly hallow to me.

            hallow

            Odd, because I didn’t get it blessed by a priest. :)

            Seriously though, there’s a pretty big difference between doing the genocide yourself and supplying weapons to an ally, who uses those weapons for genocide.

              I think this is a very convenient position for the US. It fails to take into account the depth of connections between Israel and the US, and how much of the situation in Gaza can only happen because of the US.

              Even if I grant that there is some genocide scaling factor because it’s done by a vassal state, I still would argue the devastation of Gaza is certainly more far extensive.
