the interviewee sounds unreasonable if you assume that

A. Biden already is sending aid to Gaza,
B. Biden is already exerting maximum pressure on Israel to stop bombing Gaza,
C. any country deserves to be able to strike back at a group that did to Israel what Hamas did on 10/7,
D. the hypocrisy would be worse under Trump

the loving US State Department didn't think so

quote:

[T]hen-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Jan. 19, one day before U.S. President Donald Trump�s presidency ended, that China was carrying out a genocide against Chinese Muslims, primarily the ethnic Uighur population, in the western region of Xinjiang. The Biden administration has reaffirmed Pompeo�s stance and backed off a recent claim Biden�s United Nations envoy pick, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, made in her confirmation hearing that the State Department, under the Biden administration, was conducting a review of the designation.

A State Department review during the final weeks of the Trump administration of China�s conduct in Xinjiang pitted the department�s lawyers against advocates of a genocide determination. Those advocates included Kelley Currie, who then served as U.S. ambassador at large for global women�s issues and is a long-standing critic of China�s human rights record, and former Sen. Sam Brownback, who served as the department�s ambassador at large for international religious freedom. It resulted in a �split� memo from the department that was sent to Pompeo, according to two officials.

Beyond the legal debate over the characterization of China�s repression of its Muslim population, the genocide designation carries enormous political weight, applying pressure on the United States and other countries to punish a global powerhouse whose trade, environmental, and security activities are entwined with their own.

But wielding the g-word without a solid legal basis also carries the risk of politicizing and eroding the power of the designation, which has been invoked in the past century to describe the worst episodes of mass killing, from the murder of millions of Jews during the Holocaust to the slaughter of around 800,000 Rwandans during the country�s genocide.

The cautious conclusions of State Department lawyers do not constitute a judgment that genocide did not occur in Xinjiang but reflects the difficulties of proving genocide, which involves the destruction �in whole or in part� of a group of people based on their national, religious, racial, or ethnic identity, in a court of law. It also points to a disconnect between public perception of the crime of genocide and the legal definition in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which has long been interpreted by State Department lawyers to require intent to bring about the physical and biological destruction of a group.

�Genocide is difficult to prove in court,� said Richard Dicker, an expert on international justice at Human Rights Watch. Even the most horrific of crimes�burning of villages, systematic rape, or the execution of large numbers of civilians�can not be considered genocide unless the perpetrators carry out their crimes �with a very specific intent�the intent, of course, being to destroy in whole or in part a population based on their religious, ethnic, or national background,� he said.

In Case You�re Wondering, Nancy Pelosi Is Still Supporting the Only Antiabortion House Democrat

www.vanityfair.com - Thu, 12 May 2022 posted:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked why she is still supporting Representative Henry Cuellar, the conservative Texas Democrat whose house and campaign office were recently raided by the FBI, for reelection, and she said she is. Then, in a mind-boggling moment during Thursday�s press conference, Pelosi took the time to also remind everyone that in addition to the whole FBI thing that�s cast a shadow over Cuellar�s ethical standards, he�s also the lone antiabortion Democrat left in the House�a position one would think would leave a disqualifying black mark on a Democrat�s political r�sum� given the Supreme Court looks poised to overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks.

The important part of that first article is here:

quote:

The real Xinjiang story is not so difficult to understand:

The rise of Xi Jinping and the Belt & Road Initiative posed a serious challenge to American supremacy much earlier than they were expecting, so [43]
the U.S. amped up their funding of terrorism in the region, as per the �Afghan Trap� doctrine outlined by Brzezinski, but [44]
instead of sending in the PLA, repeating the error of the Soviets, China reacted by building schools and vocational programs instead. [45]
As a result, the U.S. and its allies desperately pivoted to accusing them of �genocide,� despite lack of evidence. [46]
I�ve yet to see this basic understanding seriously challenged.

That's the basic summary.
