To be clear, these are the guys who joined Al Nusra (which later rebranded to HTS) and allied with ISIS.

    China was the victim of a genocidal Japanese regime. So I would say that’s just as hypocritical. There were just too many Chinese to decimate as thoroughly.

        I think you’ll find Chinese schools do not mince words about what happened after the Japanese invaded Manchuria.

        I’m sorry, you’re not going to win this “Israelis are the bigger hypocrites” thing. They’re both hypocrites who are committing genocide after being victims of a genocide in living memory.

          you thought there was a win condition? hold up

          people think there’s only one genocide going on

          Israel is getting all the media coverage. That’s it, that’s the entire reason.

          The average person doesn’t know South Sudan is a bad place to be a Nuer because no one told them.

            You tried to argue that Israelis are the bigger hypocrites because somehow Israelis know more about the genocide that Jews in Europe went through than Chinese people do about what the Chinese went through in China at the exact same time when that isn’t the case. The Israelis and the Chinese are both fully aware that their people suffered a genocide in the 1930s and 1940s.

            I’m not sure what this has to do with the average person unless you mean the average Chinese person or the average Israeli, in which case, my point stands. They are equally hypocritical and equally know why.

        Yes it did, literally every Chinese person has to learn it in history class.
