    All major human rights organisations in the world call Gaza a genocide.

    Can someone link me just one which calls it the “Uyghur genocide”?

            “Genocide is the wrong word to describe the horrors in XinJiang”

            Wow great job on that one. You found the word genocide in a link in the 160 page report and it proves my point.

            A link is not a claim by Amnesty by the way.

              you haven’t even read that article, headline reader. If you did, you’d know that’s a deliberately provocative headline. lol

              or the amnesty one for that matter

              you also don’t know how sources work

              quadruple F

                The 160 page report also does not contain Amnesty using the term genocide.

                It only contains the three links which you pretend are evidence because you know you are utterly wrong.

                Is there even an accusation of the crime of “Extermination”? Which is basically genocide without proving intent. That is what Israel got initially.

                  Is your argument legitimately over the usage of a word? You won’t even entertain any of the human rights abuses because it doesn’t contain your safe word? That’s not how literacy works.

                  Okay, well, the term “violation” is mentioned 80 times. “Abuse” 24 times. “Detain/detainees” mentioned 721 times.

                    Yes words have meaning. Guantanamo Bay is also many human rights abuses but not targeted extermination of an entire group.

                    Thank you for conceding the argument. I agree with the second paragraph of your comment.
