The Uyghur genocide is better described as a cultural genocide, not a real genocide.

It is still awful, still bad. But it doesn't involve large scale murder and it doesn't meet the criteria used to qualify as a legal genocide.

In contrast, the Gaza genocide is definitely a genocide, as was the trail of tears.

Lol bro they are exterminating the Uyghurs faster than the palestinians. How is palestine a serious genocide by your standards if its been going on for 80 years with less results than 8 years in china?

Trail of tears didn't take 80 years. they exterminated the natives. Holocaust didn't take 80 years. But isreals comitting the slowest moving genocide in history? While being constantly attacked?
