Tell your partner straight-up that they have it backwards. Practically the entire Muslim world supports China’s policies in Xinjiang. The only people who seriously espouse the “genocide” lie are Westerners and fringe East Turkestani separatists. Parroting this is on the same level of insanity as whining about white genocide in South Africa.

You could try highlighting:

• Jewish opposition to Zionism
• How the overwhelming majority of our Senators, Representatives, Governors, Supreme Court Justices, etc. are not Jewish. There has never been a Jewish President or Vice President of the United States in the entire country’s history.
• Instances throughout history in which the U.S. government has successfully used its leverage over Israel in order to force them to pursue a certain course of action (e.g. the withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula in 1957, the decision not to destroy the encircled Egyptian 3rd Army during the Yom Kippur War, and Reagan forcing Israel to end the bombing of Beirut in 1982). This demonstrates that it is in fact Israel which is (to at least some extent) controlled by the United States and not the other way around
• The long history of collaboration between Zionists and anti-Semites; how both ideologies are supported by the same people and serve the same financial interests
• How Zionism does not exist in isolation but rather is part of a broader phenomenon of European settler colonialism

If that doesn’t work, no amount of reasoning will. Unfortunately, you can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into. They have to be willing to learn. Not that that means you should just abandon them, but as you said, the solution will have to hinge on an emotional approach

Anarchists when they realise that they have an organ called the prostate

Everyone already knows that conservatives are homophobic though so there’s no need to demonstrate it

Speaking as someone who’s LGBT myself, I don’t find this offensive. The joke isn’t that being gay is bad; it’s that homophobes are lying, dishonest hypocrites. Is it racist to tell a white supremacist that their children are going to grow up to marry people of colour? Is it anti-Semitic to note how Göring had a Jewish godfather and how many Nazi leaders protected both full-Jews and Mischlinge who were close to them? Is it transphobic to mock a supposedly “de-trans” grifter for still undergoing hormone replacement therapy in secret? This outrage honestly feels performative to me

because the most devout opponents of communism are self-proclaimed communists and also Trotskyism is uninformed cowardice

They didn’t admit that Stalin wasn’t a dictator, though. That’s what I’m getting at. The document makes no such claim and is itself just a report by an unevaluated anonymous source rather than an official statement by the organisation as a whole. In plenty of other declassified CIA documents (including official memos), it is argued in great length that Stalin was a dictator

If you want to argue that Stalin wasn’t a dictator, then be my guest, but to claim that the CIA itself acknowledged this is a falsehood

The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated.

Not false, but exaggerated

it’s trans men, not “transmen”; and trans women, not “transwomen”. Trans is an adjective, meaning it’s a word that describes a noun. A trans man is a man who happens to be trans. The (grammatically incorrect) usage of trans as a noun (“a trans”, “transman”, “transwoman”, “transperson”, etc.) is a dogwhistle meant to imply that trans men aren’t men and trans women aren’t women but some separate category
