Wow.....excellent list. Let’s see how the anti-Israel contingent rationalizes all this as somehow being not as bad as what the Jews are doing.

Rep on its way (assuming I don’t need to spread more around first.)

Do the Tibetans want it? Certainly doesn’t seem like they do.

That is irrelevant, they are getting it.

Unlike Palestinians who are just getting an early grave.

You keep asking why I don't post on Canadian issues that are examples of Canada's complicity in past wrongs.

Here you go. It seems you missed it. I am outraged as what happened to our First Nation's people:

Canada's shame: Residential schools and murdered native children, covered up by Churches.

It IS an excellent list. Without discussing each one point by point, many of these are recognized as being as bad as what Israel is doing to Palestinians, and the genocides are worse, such as the Armenian one. The bolded is not a valid part of this list, or if you think it is, then you better include the shooting of black people by USA police.

This is fake news spread by groups like BLM.

How many black people are shot by police in America annually who aren't shooting back? A dozen? Maybe two dozen? Hardly a "genocide" when the black population has risen from 200k to 40 million during this fake "genocide". More white people are killed by police.

When the American public has been polled about the number of annual police killings, the most common guess is 10,000, LOL!

More people are bitten by sharks or killed by lightening, every year.

If anything resembling genocide is occurring in America, it's black people killing other black people.

I find this especially troubling since America led the boycott that forced whites to hand over control of South Africa to blacks to create "fairness".

Now the black government has declared open season on white farmers and took their land without compensation. Some fairness!!!

I expect we will witness South Africa following in the footsteps of Rhodesia, when it became Zimbabwe, and drove out the white farmers. It went from being a food exporter to being yet another African basket case dependent upon food charity from the U.S. and Europe.

Will America be next?

New roads, airport, railroad, hotels, hospitals, retail, etc.. They have also resettled so many Han Chinese to Tibet that they are now the majority there.

Traditional Tibetan life is extremely harsh and the local people appeared to spend much of their time in prayer. From an American perspective, the Chinese have vastly improved the quality of life there.

Then again, China is an occupying force, even if a mostly benevolent one.

Tough call.
So, in return for flush toilets, roads and electric lights they only get rights the communist dictatorship of China says they can have.

Who made that deal?
