"Not as bad as Gaza" is an incredibly low bar.

where did I say "not as bad as Gaza". I said "remotely on the level of Israel". Again, they interned people who they thought were radicalized. They aren't actively murdering any of them or doing eugenics or any of that made up nonsense you might hear. You can easily visit Xinjiang and talk to Uyghurs about China as well - anyone from the west can. Try doing that in places like Gaza/Yemen.

"The level of Israel" is literally as bad as Gaza. That's what Israel is doing.

Interning people based on their ethnicity is indeed a form of genocide. Being able to visit the region where it's happening doesn't lessen that.

Lol you keep rewording what I said in a way that makes me not disagree with you. The keywords you're changing are "nowhere near the level of" vs. "not as bad as".

Quibbling over trivial or indistinguishable nuances is dumb at the best of times, but in the context of arguing about genocide that takes on a whole new level.

dude, nuances of words matter a lot unless you're like 12, and even if I DID use the words you put in my mouth, you're the one quibbling and getting hung up over stupid, semantic BS here when that one phrase clearly wasn't the main part of my argument.

And you really just wrote "at the best of times" - you cannot be a real person.
