Being an Israeli make them lesser Humans?

Not at all. But here's a guy who is supporting his Government's extreme human right abuses and complaining about another.

It makes him hypocrotic. Don't act like a lost retard.

Nah, if we spin that logic, then every other person is ineligible to comment on it. Pakistan is not champion of human rights either. So please.

It doesn't, he simply posted a news, your inherent anti semitism automatically made you call him that.

I am not calling him out only because he has the label of Israeli, but because he supports what his state does.

I have never supported a case of human rights abuse. I can comment. He on the contrary has always proudly posted of actions his Government takes.

Anti semetism? Hahaha, you're a retard. Any other victim cards up your sleeves?

Every citizen supports it's state if they hate it, then they shouldn't live there. It's where they are born, it's the place that gives them a life. A better one I must say given their economy.

Yeah, then start by denouncing carpet bombing of your own citizen. Then the military that allowed US bombing Pakistani civilians inside Pakistan. You wouldn't because you see it for greater good.

The only slow guy is you who you bear antisemitism on your passport. I could've gone further, but it's better to keep religion out of this discussion. Victim card? It's not a victim card, jews took you for a ride all the time, even during the famous photograph of 1971, there was a Jewish general J F R Jacob smiling down at Niazi.

China is responding to criticism of its rights record with an increasingly strong counter-narrative, which emphasises security and economic development over civil and political freedoms.

BEIJING: China is ramping up a global campaign to promote its own vision of human rights, inviting the likes of North Korea and Syria to a forum on the topic and drafting other countries to back its policies at the UN.

Western nations have condemned China's rights record, including a security crackdown that has detained an estimated one million mostly Muslim minorities in re-education camps in northwest Xinjiang region.

China is responding with an increasingly strong counter-narrative, which emphasises security and economic development over civil and political freedoms.

"The people of each country all have the right to decide for themselves their human rights development path," Chinese vice foreign minister Ma Zhaoxu told delegates at a summit on the issue this week.

Attendees at the "South-South human rights forum" included representatives from North Korea, Pakistan and Syria -- three countries with their own chequered human rights records.

• The 7-decade battle for universal human rights
• China's cryptocurrency crackdown
• Chinese TV pulls Arsenal match after Ozil's Uighur comments

One of the speakers at the forum was a political adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, who has been accused of a series of chemical attacks and indiscriminate bombings of civilian targets in Syria's civil war.

"I believe China can, with the help of all developing countries, redefine human rights," Bouthaina Shaaban said in a speech that blasted Western countries for wanting to "create all of us in their own image".

Shaaban's comments echoed China's fiery responses to allegations of human rights abuses, which it says are used to undermine the country's sovereignty.

Beijing's global push seeks "to counter criticisms on its failure to respect international human rights standards", Amnesty International researcher Patrick Poon told AFP.

- Rights with Chinese-ness -

China's response to a recent barrage of international condemnation over its mass detention of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang shows its efforts to frame development and security as the most important human rights.

After initially denying the existence of detention camps, Beijing acknowledged it had opened "vocational education centres" aimed at preventing extremism after years of unrest in the region.

English-language state broadcaster CGTN last week released a documentary series on deadly attacks blamed on religious extremists and separatists to defend China's policies in Xinjiang.

It followed the leak of official documents describing how authorities run the internment camps and the US House of Representatives passing the Uighur Act of 2019 to target Chinese officials with sanctions.

The footage includes graphic images of a car ramming into a crowd at Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 2013 and a mass knife attack at a train station in Kunming in southwest China that left 31 dead in 2014.

"The most fundamental human right is the right to a safe life, and only by ensuring people's safety can human rights be protected," the official Xinhua news agency said in a commentary last week.

The documentaries reinforce the narrative that "Uighurs are discontented because they don't have the proper economic opportunities," Hong Kong-based political analyst Willy Lam told AFP.

"The main purpose (of the crackdown) is suppression of the political aspirations of the Uighurs, but they are trying to put an economic spin on this," he added.

A September white paper by the government called poverty "the biggest obstacle to fulfilling the human rights of the Chinese people," and emphasised that China had lifted hundreds of millions of people out of absolute poverty since the 1970s.

- Diplomatic push -

China's efforts to redefine human rights have been gaining momentum in international forums.

Beijing introduced a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council last year that "gutted procedures to hold countries accountable for human rights violations, suggesting 'dialogue' instead," Human Rights Watch researcher Maya Wang told AFP.

In October, 23 nations backed a British statement at the UN condemning China's human rights record in Xinjiang.

But China's allies countered with a statement of their own that won even broader support, with some 54 nations backing a text that heaped effusive praise on Beijing's "remarkable achievements in the field of human rights".

But that's ok Muslims don't care, they just want to bury their heads in shit.

It surprises me that the authur doesn't seem to know there have been two definitions of rights for a very long time as if what China is doing were something new under the sun. No, it isn't. What China is doing has been done by many Western countries. Particularly, China, since it is ruled by communists, has been following the positive right definition, which was defined and promoted by socialists/communists in the west. Since it is positive, it demands positive actions to enable such a right, which entails all kinds of creativity. It doesn't matter what UN Human Rights Council says. There hasn't been an agreement between the two definitions of rights (negative vs positive).

You're an A-grade dumbass.

"Every citizen supports its state..." bla bla and some shit.

1. State =/= Government, and to love one's country doesn't mean you unconditionally suck the Government or dictator's dick. I know you are a hardcore BJP supporter so you believe in anti National labels and what not other bullshit. By your logic, the Germans were right in their support of Nazi.

Kindly reassess your brain if it's working right.

2. And yes, I do denounce that. I don't like it. I criticize them for it. This is your second bullshit part though: Saying that the other hasn't condemned this act though or condemned that. Absence of condemnation does not imply validation, so because I didn't condemn Europeon nations looting Africa doesn't mean I validate the starving of African children. You could call me out if I actually tried to justify the act. In the OP's case, he has tried to justify what Israel does.

Dumb ****.

3. Anti semetism on my passport? Lmao, eat a bag of dicks. It says ISRAEL. Not that I cannot visit any jew. Israel is not the light and shining armor of the Jewish people, they can pretend but that doesn't make them one. They are not there on my passport because they are Jewish but because they have committed unbelievable astrocities against Palestinians.

4. "Jews took you for a ride a long time ago, blah blah 1971"
Yeah, okay, that doesn't make your point at all, bas mou mein liya hai unka tumne orr kuch nhi.

I suggest you think twice before calling someone else a dumb***. In fact, state == government. It is "nation" that refers to people, instead of government.
