In case you don't know Grayzone is a propaganda website.
The Grayzone - RationalWiki
For a supposedly "leftist" blog, editors of The Grayzone have either: a) promoted far right antisemitic beliefs, b) been promoted by alt-right activists, or c) promoted far-right activists themselves.
So, next time if you hear The Grayzone calling everyone they disagree with far-right, bring these up.
- For example, Richard Spencer shouted Max Blumenthal in a tweet.[5] Although this might be guilt by association, it is totally normal that a notorious far-right leader would promote a left-wing journalist /sarcasm.
- Ben Norton, another major editor of The Grayzone, has retweeted[6] a fascist and Holocaust denier.[7] The account also supports a race war[8], is very sexist and homophobic[9] .
- Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil, who are married (Parampil formerly worked for RT), frequently appear on Fox News with Tucker Carlson.[10]
- Zero Hedge cites The Grayzone multiple times.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
- Max Blumenthal, whose father (Sidney Blumenthal
) is Jewish, is an antisemite who compares Israel to Nazi Germany in Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel (2013).
- He was banned from the German parliament and the opposition party for his antisemitic views.[17]
- Blumenthal also compares Israel to ISIS.[18]
- David Duke praised him for his work.[19]
- Blumenthal's articles are republished by the alt-right The Unz Review[20]
- Their podcast, Moderate Rebels, promotes white nationalist Pepe Escobar.[21]
China[edit]

- The Grayzone denies that up to 1 million Uyghurs are in re-education camps in Xinjiang.[30][31] They believe that there are only 2 studies that corroborate this number, but in reality there are many methods of obtaining similar results.[32] They misrepresent CHRD's investigation by claiming that they only interviewed 8 people. In reality, they interviewed 8 people from 8 different villages, which means that their conclusion is much more accurate.[33] Surprisingly, China's officials suggest that the interviewees' numbers are correct.[34] They also discredit CHRD's research by stating that they received funds from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
It also attacks Adrian Zenzinstead of his research and talks about his far right, fundamentalist, sexist, and homophobic beliefs. Not only is this ironic and hypocritical, they did not bother criticizing his methodology. The only thing in the article that comes close to attacking his methodology is stating that the data comes from a separatist group in Xinjiang. However, Zenz cites other sources in his study, especially Chinese government documents.[35] The article also fails to mention that it was a Chinese government official who gave them the numbers.[36][37]- They also opposed the Hong Kong protests
, asserting that the CIA, NED, and George Soros funded the Hong Kong protesters, and exaggerated the amount of alt-right support of the protests [note 3]. They attempt to frame the protesters as literally Hitler by saying that the Neo-Nazi group Azov Battalion joined the protest. In reality, they only went for a tour in Hong Kong and went to places like Ocean Park (whose founder is Pro-Beijing). Also, the protestors have condemned the battalion as well.[38]- They doxxed a Hong Kong activist named Brian Kern.[39] His pseudonym is Kong Tsung-Gan, a Tibetan sounding name.[40][note 4] They plagiarized The Standard's article about it (written 8 months before The Grayzone "exposed" him).[41] They blame the mainstream media for using him as a source, but it's not like The Grayzone does it as well right?[42] When someone talks about Brian, try talk about Charles Redvers.
Here's the article debunking grayzone claim that there is no genocide in xinjiang.
China Law & Policy (chinalawandpolicy.com)
For the past 60 years not only the evil westerners kept total silence on the Palestinian genocide by the israel, They throw their unwavering support behind their genocidal israeli bodies, Even today they refuse to condemn the killing of Palestinian children:
You are saying they cannot build anything in Xinjiang?
once again, the facilities where these crimes against humanity happen in China, are kept under a very tight lock and secrecy, even flat-out denial.
according to wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War, the highest confirmed number of casualties in the Iraq war was one million, not two. Other equally independent estimates put the number much lower.

but my main point here is this :
blaming the other side for their misconduct during wars and population control missions ultimately leads to an atmosphere (on an entire forum, as we see these days on defence.pk) of warmongering, and likely also lead to more of the same (mass-)suffering you claim to find morally detestable (and rightfully so, we agree on this point actually).
it takes actual peacemaker skills and courage, to look at, and write to, one's own government party/parties and media organisations to help prevent such repeats of horrible events and practices.
and for the record : i already do this.
it's ok for you all to point out what the west can do better, and what it had better not repeat.
but if you do so without adressing your own gorram governments about what *they* do wrong to people under *their* control, then i won't take you seriously.
and you're completely crazy when you say evidence has to be provided by the accuser, while the accused keeps the facilities where the accusations lead to are kept under a tight lock and seal.
once again, the facilities where these crimes against humanity happen in China, are kept under a very tight lock and secrecy, even flat-out denial.
your response to the accusations is not good enough, Chinese.
far from it.
