Those of us who oppose Western militarism and atrocities committed by Western allies must also stand in solidarity with China's Uighur Muslims.https://t.co/DarOxemAHN— Owen Jones 🌹 (@OwenJones84) January 21, 2021

Typical British reptile, too much of a bloodless coward to admit he's an imperialist:

In response to some people responding to this quite bizarrely claiming that I supported the West's war in Libya - no, I did not

You posted it the day after the bombing started.

Hi! I opposed the Western war on Libya, well done on finding a tweet supporting the initial uprising though!

If Gaddafi was a "savage dictator", the rebels the West helped were good and them overthrowing Gadaffi was something to be desired, it made no sense to oppose the West assisting their effort. Half the arguments in that article could just as easily be arguments for more interventions

here's an article about these class traitors: https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2021-01-22/lessons-iraq-libya-syria-cheer-war/

    Theres gonna need to be more examples than just "Destruction of culture", "denial of right to cultural practices/religious freedoms" and especially "cases of arbitrary murders", you cant just make generalized statements here.

        Clicked your first link and its same old horseshit propaganda Cgtn did an entire show debunking this "destruction of grave sites"

        Traditional Uyghur graves were built poorly (little more than dirt mounds) and dogs were getting at the bodies so they rebuilt pristine beautiful graves in the same area and respectfully moved the bodies

        Im not inclined to believe anything you say

            There you go. You can see the pristine graves that were built for them and the shambolic conditions they were originally were in (the "dust grave mounds").

            Ironically this isn't even news in Western countries. There are many cases where local authorities will move grave sites to make way for railway lines or roads. What the local authorities did here wasn't even for purposes of infrastructure but for purposes of public health and provided pristine, decent and solid graves for the people to pay their respects to instead of unmarked "dust mounds". They were made of mud and wear away in wind and rain whilst cats and dogs would get at the bodies.

            You should honestly do some self-crit ("no investigation no right to speak") before propagating a wall of imperialist propaganda you yourself haven't done the thread barest to investigate

        Eyewitness reports are frankly not something to take seriously in any case of the west promoting a story, there needs to be hard evidence before any eyewitness reports should be taken into account purely because of how long the record of atrocity propaganda is. There are some who tell a "consistent" story with others but then there are also others who flat out change their stories entirely months after first speaking.
