    I cannot make proper sense of what you’re trying to say. Your ability to make semantically coherent sentences seems to not have been very well developed yet. That’s ok though, my communication skills aren’t the best either. Which is apparent from the fact that you seem to think that I am somehow defending China’s foreign policies.

    So, let me explain in more concrete terms.

    China has been fighting the Taiwanese, the Ughurs, the Tibetans and whatnot in some of the most inhumane ways possible. They are generally considered masters of genocide. One of histories biggest genocides, the great leap forward, was commited on their own people. I’m not entirely sure if you can really call it a “genocide” but the numbers are what matters. 40 to 70 million deaths.

    Now this same China basically says that what Israel is doing to Palestine is bad. They’re giving palestine’s fight to defend themselves legitimacy. In this case I think that’s the highest form of legitimacy you can get. It’s basically the worst genocidal maniac telling you that the genocide on your people is wrong. You might explain this as a pot and kettle story, maybe it’s more “Israel bad” and less “palestine good”, but this is how I explained it.

      was typing quickly and meant “more” instead of “less” clearly. so sure you “owned” me there. regardless, calling GLF a genocide is quite funny, never actually seen a liberal do that so thanks for that. just curious, do you think every famine in history is a genocide or…?

        The only thing I’m liberal with is the word genocide, but yes, if famine is caused due to intentional, calculated policies and aimed against a specific people like the great leap forward or the Irish potato famine, than it may be considered genocide.
