"Despite her staunch support of the Muslim residents in Gaza, Evans justifies the oppression of Uyghur Muslims in China" - I encourage everyone to click the link and watch the video of Jodie Evans.

What are the arguments Evans uses to justify the oppression of Uyghurs?

Evans: "we [the west] taught them Wahhabism, and now the Uyghurs are the most fierce fighters in Yemen and Syria, and then they come home and bomb shopping centres. *We* have to do something."

This is the exact same thing that happened in Israel for decades, the first and second Intifadas consisted of Palestinians detonating suicide vests on crowded public places like buses, a disco club for Russian Jews (look up "Dolphinarium discotheque massacre"), a cafe, and of course - the Dizengof shopping centre.

Somehow, Jodie Evans thinks that China acts in self-defence, but in her mind - Israel doesn't. The double standard is one thing, but the more interesting thing is that she refers to those who oppress Uyghurs as "we" in that very sentence.

This was fascinating to read, but it also alarms me that I've not seen the name Singham anywhere else in relation to these "protests". The media portrayed the encampments as a genuine grassroots movement, which supposedly reflects young people's views on the war (since when 19 year olds care about what's happening in the Middle East?). When a Jewish donor like George Soros donates to any campaign, the name is thrown around nonstop (perhaps to invoke Jewish stereotypes), but Singham remains transparent somehow.
