Hezbollah takes over Lebanon’s ministry of health, media is M.I.A (Times of Israel)

From Phyllis Chessler: Iran has fired 460 rockets into civilian Israel with genocidal intent. Has the Western media noticed or cared? Not exactly. The headline in the New York Times read: “Violence Escalates After a Botched Raid Into Gaza By Israelis.”  It’s all Israel’s fault. The long-lasting and violent siege at the Gaza border, filled with fiery kites and fiery tires (which wreaked environmental and property damage as well as psychological terror) was consistently described as a “protest.” It was again today. Also, as a rule, the Arab and Iranian Muslim terrorists and Jihadists are described as “militants.”

I would hope that we can distinguish between the terrorists and the observant. Reading this article and watching the video - I'm stunned by how Nazi like China is. We know that the world is concerned about  How Extremist Scholars Promote Terrorism, Violence, (A. Z. Mohamed, Gatestone Institute) but I hope you will agree that what China is doing is wrong. Note: At 45 minutes into the Asia Society video, they talk about cremation centers! The Chinese government refers to Uyghers as a disease and weeds; the goal appears to be to convert Uyghers (via orphanages, forced marriages) to Han or eliminate them.
