Max Blumenthal confronts State Department on genocide allegations against Israel versus China

What was said

"Secretary Blinken has specifically accused China of genocide for its treatment of the Uyghurs, but Blinken didn't point to any mass killing there. According to Euromed Monitor, 4% of the entire population of the Gaza Strip is now dead or injured in just 90 days. 65,000 tons of munitions have been dropped on the Gaza Strip, 3 times what was dropped on Hiroshima."

Journalist Max Blumenthal pressed State Department spokesman Vedant Patel on the discrepancy between Secretary Blinken's genocide accusations against China without evidence of mass killing, versus dismissing genocide allegations against Israel despite extensive casualties in Gaza. Blumenthal cited data showing 4% of Gaza's population dead or injured in 90 days and munitions dropped three times what was dropped on Hiroshima. The State Department spokesman offered only stock responses, calling the genocide allegations against Israel unfounded.
