77 years is a rather loose definition of ancient

Interesting that he doesn't think Iran is ancient.

Yeah the Battle of Thermopylae was actually between the Italians and Chinese. Don't you know your history?
- The Battle of Thermopylae
Cyrus the Great would like a word with Rabbi Boteach here
I initially read the title reversed for a brief second

Really curious what he thinks the “shared trauma” is.

When the concentration camp rave got crashed and israeli apaches strafed all those festival-goers in their cars, that was like the century of humiliation
I looked up the article and found the answer:
I call upon China’s leadership—and the conscience of every Chinese citizen—to recognize our shared past trauma, born of two of history’s most harrowing chapters: the [Nanjing Massacre] and the October 7 massacre in Israel.
Relative to the size of each nation’s population, the massacres in Nanking and southern Israel are chillingly comparable.
To paraphrase, China know from experience about a country denying war crimes, so it should sympathise with Israel over the debunked lies the author regurgitates about Oct7 and abandon Iran because they EEEEVIL.
- That’s just flat out insulting to suggest Nanjing and 10/7 are even remotely comparable. What the Japanese forces did makes even the Zionist propaganda version of 10/7 look like school yard bullying.
- That is somehow much worse than what I thought they were going for with Japanese colonialism more generally, which would still be an abominable, nonsensical comparison but not as acutely gross

This is exceptionally funny because if anything Iran and China both have the same sort of "Historical trauma" and similar historical context with comparable civilizational roots which is nothing like Israel, even if one would accept the claim that Israel today is the same one as Kingdom of Israel which it obviously is not. It is one of the truest examples of attempted false historical consciousness I have seen. Thankfully it will not succeed unlike many other false historical consciousnesses that developed in modern era.

Two ancient civilisations, China and Iran, must unite in moral leadership.

I don't even know what to say about this.

Other than the fact that Fascists fucking hate history and want to rewrite it all to suit their own desires. They want to burn books and rewrite history so that Palestine never existed, it was only ever Israel.

rabbi shmuley coming in hot with the pube beard

Shmuley Boteach sounds like the name of a side character from Rick and Morty

Glurp Shitto ass name

Israel is younger than Trump

Thank you for your input, mr sex rabbi

“Daughter-sex Rabbi” is probably a little more accurate.

At least they're cozying up, contrary to the Ukraine guys who were like "China bad but also China absolutely has to sanction Russia and help us"

China would love to be good with the Us and Israel. But the US won't allow it and Israel is good at nothing except being a parasitic tool for the US and doing genocide.

In dog years, isn'treal is ancient

Genocide as ‘moral leadership’. It really doesn’t get more sickening than that

Even at this point China is still reinforcing a two state solution so... I don't know who this is for.
