Rather different from directly funding their war machine. And capitalism has never been a mechanism for expressing the moral desires of voters, has it?

What is your actual argument, because it sounds like:

"Nothing can be done so we shouldnt draw attention to it or even talk about it in Genocide related discussions."

Which, if I follow the leftist playbook, you are an advocate for genocide.

No. My argument is is twofold:

  1. that bringing up Uyghurs when discussing Gaza is whataboutism.
  2. it's also not a reasonable comparison given that US (and western, generally) leverage and culpability are completely different.

Except you didn't adress any of my arguments.
