“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.”

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.

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.

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

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.

Why fund hospitals at home when you can blow them up abroad?!

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

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

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?

We have seen the evidence for the things happening at places like the Chinese Uyghur internment camps directly, it’s not a claim where we have to trust a government without any proof.

Speaking of evidence, the latest UN report I could find was in August 2022. Direct accounts of 40 individuals from an alleged 1.3 million detained.

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