“Had the US not shielded one side time and again, multiple resolutions of this Council would not have been flagrantly rejected and defied,” Chinese Ambassador, Geng Shuang told the UN Security Council on Monday.

Urging the US to “show a responsible attitude”, Geng called on Washington to “use the significant influence it holds over the party, and take tangible actions to push Israel to cease its military operations without delay, as demanded by the Council resolutions, to give the long-suffering Palestinian people a chance to live.”

Do they realistically expect israel to stockpile all the weapons theyre given as opposed to using them?

He's not wrong

When China rightfully has to call you out on your bullshit, then you know you're on the wrong side

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

They are not wrong, USA is also responsible in this genocide.

Yeah, for once I agree with China. The second Israel started blowing away kids and hospitals, it should have been full stop + sanctions from the USA.

US blows away kids and hospitals too, seems that little brother just learned from the big one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The US also should not do that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, but it's pretty naive to ask them for sanctioning their own unsinkable carrier made by them in their image.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think it's naive. It's the view of almost every nation in the world

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

And it's not happened for 80 years no matter what Israel do and it's certainly not happening in the last year of intensified genocide. It's either naive or insincere empty words without actions. The only state with correct stance on this is Yemen.

I don't think it's insincere at all. Most nations would like the US to not support Genocide but none of them have the power to force the US to do anything

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

On the contrary, they all have all the power, just no political will because the calculations are pointing even now, on giant losses they will also suffer in case of let's say embargo on US, and not unlikely case of US launching WW3 in such situation. Still they aren't saying that straight and are insincere, even if understandable.

Okay. I live in New Zealand. How do we force the US to not fund Israel?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

What can NZ do to US? Find alternative supply routes for the current trade with US, embargo it and expell its diplomats until US cease any support for Israel, break diplomatic ties and sanction it. Now NZ alone can't do much, but it can show others it is possible to do even small part of what Yemen are doing (and don't forget that Yemen WON against, according to US military itself "the biggest naval operation since WW2"), so the other sincere states can take the example. And when enough of them will do it, the US as imperialist nation will feel that deeply.

And it isn't even this farfetched, just 10 years ago US hegemony was seemingly solid and now countries like fucking KSA are doing unthinkable things which just 13 and 21 years ago led to destruction of nations trying the same.

Of course we both know that NZ won't do this, just as my Poland also won't, but the reason for that is probably not the subject of this question.

Well we know for a fact that the US doesn't even care about our own children dying. Why would we care about ones on the other side of the planet?

And we keep trying to reduce medical coverage and public funding for healthcare. Hospitals are being closed all over the US.

To be honest, it's on brand.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but all that AIPAC money would have dried up, so instead we'll tell them to play nice with these new weapons and American tax payer subsidies.

Really is annoying to have to agree with the Chinese on human rights abuses.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Don't worry, you can turn right around and parrot NED blood libel without a hint of irony or dissonance.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe the US is lying to you about China in other areas too? Israel and the US (and Britain) have been killing Arabs for decades. Are they to be trusted when telling you their enemies are doing the same?
