Plight of the Uighurs hear Muslim Crickets

Remember this next time a Muslim leader complains about Israeli treatment of Palestinians:
More than 1 million Muslim Uighurs in the Xinjiang region of China, their native land, are believed to have been interned in so-called reeducation camps by the Chinese authorities. The number may be as high as 2 or 3 million—out of a population of 11 million. Trapped along with them are Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Uzbeks, other Muslim minorities, though in smaller numbers. The Uighurs still on the outside are living in one of the world’s most pervasive and heavy-handed surveillance regimes, in which the camps are just one form of containment and punishment. Uighurs live in constant fear of arbitrary detention and can expect swift retribution for any expression of Turkic or Muslim identity—to the absurd extent that giving your child a traditional Muslim name is illegal.
Of course a million Arabs and Muslims live in Israel and are free to do what they want.

For 70 years the Arab world has used the Palestinians for their own propaganda purposes. The supposedly Arab nationalist Egypt, the supposed Arab kingdom of Jordan, the Gulf States rich on petro-dollars, don't actually want to help the Palestinians. They won't lift a finger to help the Uighur's either.

These are dysfunctional states, Kakocracies who need Israel to distract their people from the failures of their own government.

Israel is the only Middle Eastern nation that actually cares about the Palestinians.
