Uyghur activists & their supporters have launched a campaign against China hosting the Olympic games in 2022. At least theoretically, holding the games in a country with concentration camps counters the mythical spirit of the games. Although it didn’t prevent them from being held in fascist Germany in 1936. The campaign is part of pressuring China to shut down the concentration camps & end the persecution of Uyghur.

A Kashmiri policeman named Imtiyaz Hussain tweeted: “While being totally neutral on CAB, I just need someone to enlighten & educate me that, if GOI (India) grants citizenship rights to minorities having migrated to India before 2014 from neighbouring countries where Islam is a state religion, how does it affect the Muslims of our country?”

To which Parray Drfrq tweeted in response: “Could anyone make this dumb blockhead, anencephalic burro understand & figure out?”

With the exception of elitism & class snobbery, people’s personal quirks & annoying behaviors don’t really kick my intolerance into action. But their political compromises with oppression get my adrenalin pumping two-forty. If you are saluting the flag of the Assad regime despite the unimaginable torture he has inflicted on the Syrian people, you’re out of here & I make no apologies for it. Our friendship has apparently been a misunderstanding, at least for the last eight years of barbarism against the Syrian Arab Spring.

The more we understand the German fascist model used by India, Israel, & Burma, the better we understand the trajectory those countries are on in terms of genocide against Kashmiris, Palestinians, & Rohingya. In the cacophony of political disputes over how to analyze these events, it also places Assadists & Stalinists–many of whom began with denying the Nazi holocausts & ended up denying the Bosnian, Uyghur, & Rohingya genocides–within the political sphere where they operate, moving toward outright association with fascism.

Most of them have remained silent thus far about Kashmir & about the Citizenship Law against Muslims in India. Me thinks it is because Kashmiris & their supporters, including in India, have created a stronger position on social media from which to kick their asses. The support for Palestinians among these creeps has always been a political expedience to gain respectability in progressive circles & has done immense harm to Palestinian solidarity. Note that these forces have not done a damn thing to mobilize solidarity actions whilst Palestinians face genocide except campaign for Bernie Sanders who calls himself “100% pro-Israel”.

Our blood
On the renamed street of ours
Our blood
to erase the constitution of ours
Our blood
On the sacred brick of yours
Our blood
To cover the naked crime of yours
Our blood
In your eyes, on your hands
Our blood
In that valley, on this land
Our blood
Your majority, your mandate
Our blood
where we all prostrate

–Indian poet & writer Musab Iqbal

Anti-Jewish legislation under German fascism began in 1933 excluding them as civil servants or as employees of the government. Under those laws, doctors, notaries, accountants, actors, civilian workers with the army, & others had restrictions imposed, including the loss of licenses. Access to public education & universities was cut to 1.5% & Jewish dietary practices were denied.

In 1935, the Nazi Party leadership announced the Nuremberg Laws enacted by the Reichstag which excluded German Jews from citizenship & prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of “German or German-related blood.” Among the many other laws making Jews personae non gratae to German fascism, the names of Jewish soldiers killed in World War I could not be placed on war memorials.

It got worse from there over the next few years under ‘Aryanization’ where they were more forcibly segregated from other Germans & excluded from public schools & universities, cinemas, theaters, & sports facilities. By 1939, they were forced to carry identity cards indicating they were Jews & their passports were stamped with ‘J’ to identify them as Jews.

German Nazism is the political model India, Israel, Burma are all using in their implementation of citizenship laws. It may seem the easiest way to ethnically cleanse the population & when that fails, they have all resorted to outright genocide involving crimes of unimaginable savagery. China has another model which involves concentration camps & forcible conversion of Uyghur to bots of the Chinese Communist system.

Not only have these genocides not spared the children, but they have targeted them. This is 14-year-old Czeslawa Kwoka, a Polish Catholic girl in her Auschwitz identity photo (it is not clear why her & her mother were picked up; they may have had Jewish ancestry). Within three months, both her & her mother were executed. She didn’t understand what was happening when this mug shot was taken & in her terror began to cry. The woman concentration camp guard beat her on the face with a stick.

Twitter storm today & tomorrow for Kashmir using hastags & themes below:

#KashmirReferendum
#SanctionsForIndia
#StandWithKashmir

• Referendum in Kashmir.
• Action from the world community against Indian occupation of Kashmir
• Boycott,Disinvestment &Sanctions as part of political negotiations.
• Stop attacking the culture and identity of Kashmiris & Muslims
• Stop religious discrimination & Respect democratic norms

Would the Indian liberal & socialist who took umbrage at my comparison between German fascism & Hindutva fascism regarding Kashmir dare step forward to defend their view now that jackboots are all over India & the internet is being turned off?

“They failed to bring Indian situation to Kashmir; now they decided to bring Kashmir-like situation to India. The north-east is just a start. Army in and internet out.”
