Jazz, you normally strike me as a reasonable fella, but your takes in this thread are shocking to me. Not saying it to be mean, but stop for a moment and listen to yourself. I think this sort of dismissive whataboutism is beneath you, and I can't help but wonder where it's coming from.
Your whole argument is that people have "an unhealthy obsession" with one of the worst ongoing human rights abuses from an apartheid state that keeps committing genocide with regular intervals, and this supposedly ties into "far left" politics rather than human concern. You rightly point out the horrors of the Xinjiang camps, which The UK and many others have officially condemned. Meanwhile you live in a country that doesn't even recognise Palestine as a state with a right to exist, helmed by a buffoon who refers to muslim women as letter boxes and muslim men as bankrobbers and has made it his mission to drive them into the sea. Forgive people for thinking that the anti-BDS motion is not a good faith law and that it will be weaponised against those who see it as their moral and political obligation to speak out against horrors that are being committed in Gaza and the West Bank while countries like the UK don't just watch but revel in it.
