Lol. Obviously, some individuals on the Left have talked about it... Castro is saying something LONGGG after Rubio spoke out about it & a bipartisan resolution was passed by the Senate. We can do better here.

The fact that there was bipartisan resolution shows how absurd the original point was. When was the last bipartisan resolution standing up for Palestinian rights?

First of all, you're Canadian. Second of all, Palestinians aren't being put in concentration camps for "reeducation." Third of all, the Palestinians in the UN signed a letter in COMMENDING CHINA for its treatment of the Uyghurs. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-mass-detentions-uighur-muslims-un-letter-human-rights-a9003281.html …pic.twitter.com/9VK68hr4wL

None of these are relevant to the original argument by Barri Weiss that the left is ignoring the Uyghurs. It's just a pure bullshit whataboutism from someone who is hostile to Palestinian human rights.https://twitter.com/ilhanmn/status/1131677328898252801?lang=en …

She said the Left is not en masse talking about the Uighurs despite the reasons they give for talking re:Israel. Your initial tweet equates concentration camps & results of Camp David II before a war. So w/ "bullshit whiteaboutism from someone who is hostile" you're projecting

I didn't equate concentration camps with "results of Camp David II before a war." I merely noted there is no bipartisan consensus defending Palestinian human rights, which is true. And this thread has a long list of left magazines writing about Uighurs: https://twitter.com/AASchapiro/status/1173077443944558592 …

no, you noted that there is no "bipartisan RESOLUTION" defending Palestinian rights against Israel in comparing the status quo after the 2nd Intifada & Oslo (signed by the Palestinians) to the urgency re:Uighur concentration camps. I.e., you did whataboutism.pic.twitter.com/TYXjgL1wl4

Who said anything about 2nd Intifada & Oslo? And how are they relevant to the question of whether Palestinians deserve human rights?

Replying to @HeerJeet @dailydishwater and
Keep in mind this is part of the post-2006 status quo. It is absolutely one of the graver human rights crises today https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/palestinians/.premium-expert-warns-97-of-gaza-drinking-water-contaminated-by-sewage-salt-1.5747876 …

If you bring up "Hamas" in response to an article on why children in Gaza don't have clean drinking water, then you believe in collective punishment of civilians.
