Even US state department denies the Uyghur genocide. Give it a rest already.
To deny something means to say something is false. Here the subject in question is 'the Uyghur genocide'.
In your link, the people you claim 'deny' it, say there is insufficient evidence to prove it - but they do believe there is sufficient evidence to prove crimes against humanity are occurring.
To say there is 'insufficient evidence to prove' a claim, is not the same as to deny it. Therefore your statement is a lie.
I take it that English is not your first language, but even so, this is textbook gaslighting. You are linking something with a false summary of its contents. And I have to say this is not the first time I have noticed people linking things with summaries contrary to their contents on this site.
Wondering how someone making a semantic mistake is textbook gaslighting lol.
Do you think Zenz is also gaslighting people btw?
yogthos: "I was using language symmetric to the parent comment as a rhetorical tool. "
I don't believe the above admission constitutes a semantic mistake.
I'm not familiar enough with the Zenz material to have an informed opinion.
