Thanks, I hadn't seen that. What strikes me as odd is that neither side mentions a huge factor in the conflict: China's investment in the "belt & road" initiative which relies on the old "Silk Road" route which passes through Xinjiang.

The Uighurs do have an independence separatist movement and it would disrupt these plans.

Any source from anywhere could be propaganda. Here is your chance to debunk the BBC report if you want.

You are confusing banning news production by foreigners with banning transmission of foreign news.

BBC probably did make it difficult for Russian state news to access UK social media users after Russia invaded Ukraine for their "three day special operation" (obviously a lie from the start). They probably did not forbid access to the Russian journalists wanting to film in the UK.

China probably forbids BBC news with their great internet firewall. I know they ban the Tiananmen Square massacre imagery.

I don't think UK forbids Chinese from filming in UK. China did not forbid BBC from filming in China either but they did try to forbid filming the detention centre.

Again: how does China stop every single Uyghur adult from taking pics with their smartphone?

Not "every single Uygur", just the ones locked up. That is how detention works, even in the West.

No, not according to the current definition. That is why Ireland is trying to change it. Words change all the time so it is possible.

That would equate Gaza and Ukraine with the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the nature and magnitude of which were very different. Perhaps they could create a new word for those?

Yes a higher civilian death ratio in Gaza but the Ukraine military are not in civilian areas.

Admittedly Russia actually targets civilians but it is with long range missiles and drones, most of which get intercepted.

That article says Ireland is also trying to expand the definition of genocide to include Ukrainian deaths. I don't know why it does not fit the definition currently; perhaps because Russia are not trying to wipe out the Ukrainian population? I dunno. Get back to us if you find out.

Am just pointing out the legal definition of the word regardless of whether courts are just

Not a shred of photographic evidence

That is misleading. Why did authorities try to stop BBC from filming?

Potatoes are cheap by weight. Machine saw a single item and didn't believe it was a potato. Not that anything looks similar; it just flags it for staff to check.

Where should the Israel Jews go now though?

Iranian citizens are not being targeted whereas Iran (and previously Hezbollah) bombed at least one Israeli town where there are no military.

Not "literally". Ireland is trying to expand the definition in the ICJ to make it so though.

Ireland will not be asserting if genocide is being committed, but asserting its interpretation of the Genocide Convention.

Palestine population has been increasing over the last decades. ⅔ of European Jews died in the Holocaust. Comparing very different tragedies here.

Yes he implies that with ambiguous language as a way of weaseling out of the legality of threatening violence.
