Why would you knee jerk throw them in the “bad guy” genocidal category

I dunno, why would you say I did that?

Rule number one of foreign policy is that countries don't have friends, they have interests. Russia and China have the position they do because they think it's to their advantage. Both of them are guilty of their own genocides, some ongoing. They are no more the "good guys" than the US. If they decide it's in their interests to sell weapons to Israel, that's exactly what they will do.

You post one Uighur body for every Palestinian body I post. How long do you think you can keep up?

Mad that your made up genocide has to compete against a real one with a death toll?
