The Issue: President Biden\u2019s comment that China\u2019s imprisonment of Muslims is a different cultural \u201cnorms.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I watched and listened carefully to Biden on a CNN Town Hall, I was shocked when he seemingly condoned and excused Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s policy on the Uighur Muslim minority, forcing them into concentration camps (\u201cJoe\u2019s Excuses for Genocide,\u201d Editorial, Feb. 21).<\/p>\n

The occupant in the White House cannot explain away evidence of a genocide, and he shouldn\u2019t be excusing or whitewashing what is being done as nothing more than Chinese cultural norms in play.<\/p>\n

If one is truly standing up for human rights, one must condemn systemic rape, beatings and torture. You cannot deny Beijing\u2019s ethnic cleansing of a minority group of some 3 million.<\/p>\n

Former President Donald Trump got it right on China, the Democrats need to get it right, too. <\/p>\n

I could only imagine what President Biden\u2019s response would have been to receiving knowledge of the Holocaust at the time. Would cultural \u201cnorms\u201d have also been the reply?<\/p>\n

What is happ<\/a>ening in China regarding the Uighurs is but a smaller version of the original Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Even more insidious is the non-reaction of the world\u2019s Muslims. Where are the voices of Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar? Do they not possess any compassion for those who share their religion, or are they only concerned about condemning Israel and Jews? <\/p>\n

Samuel Frazer<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always considered the Holocaust to be the most horrific event in modern history.<\/p>\n

Many other genocidal tragedies have horrified global consciousness. However, the Nazis always are first to be used as an example of the depth to which human depravity can descend.<\/p>\n

And now I\u2019m being told by Biden that tragedies of this magnitude are merely cultural \u201cnorms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seriously, Mr. President? The misfortunes of the Uighurs are simply because of the fact that they reside in China?<\/p>\n

Will all history books be revised to include a new chapter focusing on cultural norms as the reason for the Holocaust and other events like those previously mentioned? <\/p>\n

Lynne Cole<\/em><\/p>\n

Goodyear, Ariz.<\/em><\/p>\n

What happened to the phrase \u201cnever again,\u201d which was associated with the Holocaust?<\/p>\n

The phrase was a rebuke of passivity and inactivity when innocent masses are tortured and executed. Yet an ethnic group of some 3 million Uighur Muslims are subject to daily torture, rape and execution in China\u2019s far west.<\/p>\n

Both Trump and Biden\u2019s secretaries of state, Mike Pompeo and Antony Blinken, call it genocide. Despite all that, Biden, \u201cleader of the free world,\u201d dares to rationalize it as a different cultural \u201cnorm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evil triumphs in China as the \u201cfree world\u201d defenders of human rights do nothing. If Biden can lie about that, he has no borders of decency.<\/p>\n

Manny Martin<\/em><\/p>\n

Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n

The real issue here is that, while Biden was not campaigning in his basement, the media<\/a> failed to ask him about virtually anything. As a result, the people were forced to draw conclusions about how Biden would operate.<\/p>\n

If the media could have simply done its job, we might have avoided confusion and calamity.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s lack of concern for the Uighurs is the least surprising. It would mean he takes a stand against China. His selective outrage is only directed toward Americans.<\/p>\n

The stock market\u2019s terrible performance last week indicates that Biden\u2019s CNN town hall put the fear of G-d in people listening to a degraded man helming (maybe) the most powerful nation on Earth.<\/p>\n

Jacqueline Toboroff<\/em><\/p>\n

Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n

So the left\u2019s darling president, with open arms to cradle the country, refuses to speak out against clear human-rights violations and genocide.<\/p>\n

Biden claims the Uighur genocide is part of Chinese culture and normal behavior.<\/p>\n

Thank God Biden wasn\u2019t president during the Holocaust. Would he have claimed the Holocaust was Germany\u2019s norm? <\/p>\n
