    “No one believes you” except for every muslim nation on earth lol. Go ahead, tell me about how they’re all corrupt/compromised and only the noble westerners really care about the plight of the Uighur, I could use a good laugh.

      Why would Islamic countries not condemn China? They certainly seem to condemn the genocide of the Palestinian people. Somebody please enlighten me.

      Edit: According to Business Insider, they might fear China’s retaliation (e.g. economic vengeance). How reliant are these Islamic countries on exports from China and how reliant are these countries on China importing their resources (e.g. oil)?

      Why would any of that matter when people of their religion are being genocided? Fear of retaliation from a nuclear-powered state and facing consequences in regards to western trade doesn’t seem to deter them from taking a stance on Palestine.

        The only explanation any of these people ever offer for that glaring discrepancy is to accuse every muslim nation on earth of being corrupt/compromised by China in some way. They never have any evidence to support this accusation, but that doesn’t stop them from saying it anyway. You’d think if it was that easy to get them all to go along with a genocide against their own people then the US could just pay them all to stop being mad at Israel, and yet
