I'm sure you know the phrase "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", yet while there are almost 400 sources documenting the Uyghur Persecution on the dedicated Wikipedia page, the basis for your argument is a photo of a city?
If what you're trying to say is that there is a genocide in Gaza that is not adequately documented by our media I'm all with you, but since this thread is attracting some deniers, maybe it's important to remember that this doesn't erase a completely disconnected fact that is documented by every major human rights organization (here is, for example, the whole report by Amnesty International: https://xinjiang.amnesty.org/).
That there is or was a “Uyghur genocide” is the extraordinary claim, for which there is extraordinarily scant evidence, which is why the UN dropped it three years ago. Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once those efforts failed, it concocted and promoted a genocide narrative.
Â
The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same countries supporting Israel’s genocide.
It’s never to late to develop real media literacy or to understand how the US incessantly prosecutes regime change operations globally.
Thank you so much for that detailed and informative post! It drives you crazy to see liberals denying the genocide in Gaza while accusing China of one without evidence
