Western liberal ideologue provides a brain dead take again

Oh wait, you’re the foolish one who also denied the Uygher ethnic cleanse

But I’m sure you support Palestinians too despite that other take related to Muslims

And I’m the western ideologue lol

He is a pashtun from Afghanistan.
They believe they are descendants of Muhammad or something and think building dams and drying out the f***ing rivers is good for the country.

There's 0 proof of an "Uygher ethnic cleanse"

I’m not entertaining this when there are (conservatively) hundreds of Uyghurs in diaspora who attest directly to the evidence on top of being primary sources themselves

It is not a debate.

If you’re ever in NYC or DC, you can even find communities of them and ask them yourselves or be bold and try tell them it isnt happening

Have you talked to them?

or do you rely on CIA agent Adrian Zenz?

Birdie

Yes there’s a community in nyc and because I’m a Muslim and cared about it to ask

I encountered a couple near my job who run a restaurant in midtown manhattan and spoke to them directly, many of them arrived to the US in the past 4-5 years

But yeah, go ahead and be snarky and dismissive

So they flew here from China? Did you speak to them in uyghur?

Birdie

They know enough English considering they run business here and yes they’re directly from the northwestern provinces and still have many direct families living there

So they speak their language and had the freedom to leave

Leaving a region discounts the reality of an ethnic cleanse happening?

What about the Palestinians living in the West Bank? Yazidis, Yemenite Jews in 20th century?

Im not gonna lie and say I asked them directly why they themselves left but ethnic cleanse isn’t just killing, it’s the removal of a population through expulsion. So ‘freedom to leave’ isn’t an invalidating factor or anythin, for example I’m sure a Zionist would say Palestinians are free to leave

Idk what you mean by the language part, administrative lanaguges mandated exist. Turkey banned Kurdish for decades upon decades to be spoken publicly

The freedom to leave, knowing their language, teaching the language to children in schools... man China is doing a terrible job at ethnic cleansing.

Also, it's a lot harder to leave Palestine than it is China, which is easy.

You’re avoiding the point also I bet if I linked you direct sources showcasing the double digit population decline you would just called that propaganda

There’s no point in continuing, do the extra effort of trying to connect with the people you’re trying to dismiss yourself. If you care so much, I’m obviously not gonna change your mind so why waste eachothers’s time

Jordan

It’s a poor nation but it’s backed by basically every regional power and the US. Foreigners with money live very comfortably in Amman.

• Borders everything

• Good mix of liberal and traditional depending who you are

• Very friendly to foreigners and authentic

• Very rich heritage sites

• Some of the best food

• Nice Mediterranean climate

• Allows easier access to Palestine

You can travel to which ever other middle eastern you want

UAE/other gulf countries have very bad weather and are inauthentic due to how many expats live there versus citizens
