Why would a Uyghur activist visit Israel? And what does that reveal about the way Muslims navigate justice in today's political landscape?
In this episode, we are joined by a Uyghur activist to explore China's persecution of the Uyghur people, his controversial visit to Israel, and the difficult questions that arise when every side seeks to claim, or discredit, your cause.
Together, we discuss Xinjiang, Palestine, the silence of many Muslim governments, nationalism, the Ummah, and why standing for one oppressed people should never require abandoning another.
