1.34% of the American population, the third largest religion in the US behind Christianity and Judaism.
I'm also going to point out that voting based on what's happening to people who share your religion in a foreign country is a TERRIBLE idea. If you make that your voting priority, it will bite you in the face in other aspects of your life because someone will exploit you for their own ends. The same is pretty much true for any single issue voter.
We're all free to be stupid, but it probably won't end well.
How about based on whats happening to people that dont share my religion? Because what is happening is so horrific it doesnt matter what group they belong to, it must be stopped.
When was the last time you posted about the other genocides going on? Do you even know which ones I'm talking about?
Or are you just following the social context around the Israel-Palestine conflict and ignoring the fact that there are multiple other major genocides occurring right now? One of them has had a few hundred thousand kids forcibly separated from their parents and sent to special boarding schools, the other is at almost a half million deaths, both dwarfing the scale of the Israeli-Palestine conflict by almost an order of magnitude.
How about them? Where's the university protests? Where's the demands for divestment? You haven't even made a single comment or post about any of them from what I can see.
Nah, this one is the fad genocide to be all upset about right now.
Ill bite, wikipedia has no idea what youre talking about either
Yes it does.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides
Its got 2 other ongoing genocides, neither of which with deaths anywhere near what youre talking about. One for Ukraine which Ive definitely commented on and condemned. And a different one also affecting muslims.
You must not have scrolled down far enough, there's one that's been going on for 20+ years in Sudan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)
The forcibly separated kids one isn't even listed there, because China has done everything it can to scrub it from public knowledge, it's linked to an older one in there though. The Uyghurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China
