Jewish Advocacy for Uyghurs

Writing/research on anything interesting we find on the crossroads between China, Xinjiang/ET, Israel and Judaism.

Also in Heb/עבר at:

Please dedicate two minutes of your time today to watching this video of Holocaust survivors calling for action against China's persecution of the Uyghurs.

"We are Holocaust survivors.
We promised never again.
Never again to us.
Never again to anyone."

[Jewish Movement for Uyghur Freedom @_JMUF]

"When we say never again, we should really mean it, and we should do something active about it." Please listen to these Holocaust survivors' call to action against the Chinese government's persecution of the Uyghurs. And open this thread to find out what you can do.

Yesterday myself and @OmerKanat1 met Rabbi Diego Ariel Vovchuck as part of our visit to Argentina. He expressed solidarity with the Uyghurs in our own struggle against genocide. We are grateful to the Jewish community for being a friend & ally of our people when we need it most.

Blessed escalation. Public radio Kan defies Beijing, interviews Taiwan’s rep in Israel. Earlier, after @yaakovkatz interviewed Taiwan’s ForMin, Chinese embassy in israel threatened to downgrade relations with the country unless @Jerusalem_Post removes the piece from its site

החוצפה של סין. הם זעמו על ריאיון שנתן שר החוץ של טייוואן ל @yaakovkatz באתר @Jerusalem_Post ואשכרה דרשו מהעורך להוריד אותה. ח"כ ארבל שלח מכתב חריף לשר החוץ לפיד. סיפור הזוי. https://t.co/dabKrA3B3y

My father passed away yesterday morning in East Turkistan. He was the best dad. I am sad and feeling so numb🥺. I am also very angry. Because of #China’s crackdown on #Uyghurs, I have not been able to see my family since 2017. Now I couldn’t see my father’s face for the last time

@Digital_George @yaakovkatz @Jerusalem_Post I stopped buying things from aliexpress years ago over forced Uighur labor. Same with Shein.

Just calling them “VETC’s”was repeating PRC propaganda: journalists, please don’t adopt her wording. Remember PRC at first denied camps existed. Bachelet is helping promote evolving PRC story.

I think we can clearly say that amid already very low expectations, this is significantly worse than what had been feared.

The perhaps worst human rights violation of our time is treated as a matter of internal review by the perpetrator.

[Rushan Abbas @RushanAbbas]

We have waited patiently & fairly. Now is time for the #BacheletResign campaign!

We demand the resignation of High Commissioner of Human Rights Michelle Bachelet immediately! She neglects her mandate & the #UN‘s founding principles.

The youngest person confirmed to be in a re-education camp is Rahile Omer, age 14 when she was detained, nearly age 15 when her image was taken by the police.

[Adrian Zenz @adrianzenz]

BREAKING: huge trove of files obtained by hacking into Xinjiang police / re-education camp computers contain first-ever image material from inside camps, reveal Chen Quanguo issuing shoot-to-kill orders, Xi Jinping demanding new camps because existing ones are overcrowded. 🧵

כתבתי זאת על אפגניסטאן, אחזור ואכתוב בהקשר אוקראינה: זה מחפיר שמדינת ישראל לא מקבלת נניח אלף פליטים ומחבקת אותם. לא מיליון, לא מאה אלף. אלף, אולי כמה אלפים. מזכיר- אנחנו 9 מיליון. זה בטל בשישים. כך ה��ינו צריכים- ולא מאוחר- לעשות לנניח אלף אפגניות הנמלטות מהטליבאן, וכך עתה.

The sad thing is that if we hadn’t expanded NATO, Putin would have tirelessly devoted himself to world peace and the brotherhood of man.

@Olympics Please stop

Mischa is currently chained to the doors at the @allianz headquarters in Berlin! ✊

Mischa is a Jewish activist. He comes from a community that has experienced genocide and is outraged that Allianz has not learned from its shameful past.

Do you stand with Mischa?

[NEVER AGAIN. RIGHT NOW. @NARNCampaign]

🚨BREAKING!🚨

Jewish & Tibetan activists are currently chained to the doors of the @Allianz headquarters in Berlin. They are demanding an end to its sponsorship of #Beijing2022.
A company which profited from the Holocaust must not turn a blind eye to the Uyghur genocide.

[Rayhan E. Asat @RayhanAsat]

Dear #Athletes, the Uyghur community asks you to #score4rights during the #Olympics. We want to go home and embrace our loved ones languishing in the camps. Uyghurs are asking you to protest w/ a simple gesture of humanity. Shine like a moon in the darkness. Don't leave us alone!

I'll include recent reports on human rights violations enabled by private Israeli firms with defense establishment ties, namely NSO, Candiru, and Cellebrite, to make the case that my country needs to get its shit together pronto.
