I think you are correct. Therefore, wouldn't the rational course of action be for you to lobby really hard for the US to sanction Israel (perhaps join the millions of protestors across US college campuses), rather than sitting in your room demanding China to do something?
I actually did donate and volunteer at the protest at YorkU. I was pleasantly surprised how based YorkU students are lol. More based than UWaterloo chuds for sure.

York University has always been left leaning. The exams are a joke though. I was able to leave the room and go to the washroom by myself. In U of T we were accompanied by teaching assistants.

When I was in college (in the US) I definitely made some "bathroom breaks," in the middle of exams. Given how easy it is to use a cell phone in a stall, I don't see how chaperones would really help.

In my second year at UW, some guy got caught with a wire in his shoe. I don't even know how they caught him unless he really fucked up.

The Kristi Noem lying Republicans were claiming China was behind campus university protests. One of their arguments was how many of their tents were the same color. Maybe because they didn't go home and dig through their attic or garage to pull out the old tent they used when dear ole dad took them camping. Today if they need a tent, they go to Amazon and order one and it arrives the next day. Maybe that's why they see the same tents being used. Somebody with money like China must've bought a bunch of the same tents and distributed them to university campuses across the US so it has to be China.

I don't think its fair to put most of the blame on religion and culture. Most Muslim countries have been victims of imperialism and colonialism for centuries, and as a result have a complete lack of experience with building and maintaining strong institutions. Furthermore, as with all countries to have had their borders defined by the British (and other colonial powers), Muslim states have been divided in a manner to intentionally maximize divisiveness and minimize unity. I would pin the overwhelming majority of the blame for the plight of Muslim nations today due to imperialism and colonialism. Hui in China are not held back by their religion, they are productive citizens living in a modern, secular society.
For sure the British are evil and Western colonialism caused many problems of the world but how are you going to move forward? Has no one moved forward from it? Blaming the past and and blaming those with ill intent towards you is always an easy thing and an exercise in self-soothing but it is never the thing to do to move forward. To move forward, the situation at hand needs to be assessed and the question that needs to be asked is, "What do I need to do to achieve my goals." If Muslims asked themselves that with a logical rather than theological mindset, they would realize that the current problem they are facing is exactly what I said it is, and the solution is also exactly what I said it is. Blaming the British is like drinking and doing drugs to make the current reality less painful; blaming yourself and working hard is the fighting spirit that can change that reality.
