Standing Against Uyghur Genocide and Accountability Standards
The situation in China with the Uyghur Muslims is appalling, with reports of concentration camps, forced entry into homes, separation of families, and forced consumption of pork. Many parliamentarians are speaking out and facing sanctions from China. The speaker questions how one can criticize persecution in some regions while ignoring the Uyghur genocide. The distinction is made between China, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, with the latter being held to a higher standard as a liberal Western democracy. If Israel sets a high standard, it must accept being held accountable to that standard. Even non-pro-Israeli Jews might have conflicting views on the matter.
