China to ICJ: Palestine has ‘inalienable right’ to armed resistance

Isn't it weird that I can't find any western media outlets reporting this? Super weird right, I just can't figure out why.

cannot be equated with terrorism

The only terrorists here are the "israeli" militants.

A notorious, convicted terrorist said Palestine should resist by any means necessary.

That was Nelson Mandela

Finally someone with some international clout says the obvious

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Hamas responded

BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT

We appreciate the position expressed by the People's Republic of China, during the public hearings held by the International Court of Justice, on the legal consequences of the occupation policies in the Palestinian Territory, and its affirmation of the legality of the occupied peoples' pursuit of self-determination, by various means, including armed resistance, and the necessity not to confuse terrorism with And the armed struggle practiced by the Palestinian people against the Zionist occupation.

We also value the positions of the countries participating in the sessions, which confirmed the widespread violations of international law practiced by the terrorist occupation entity against the Palestinian people and their occupied land, including massacres and genocide in the Gaza Strip, violations, killing, and expansion of settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and work to bring about demographic changes in the Palestinian land. It aims to Judaize her and tamper with her identity.

The terrorist occupation government’s boycott of the court sessions confirms once again its disregard for international institutions, and its policy of turning its back on international resolutions and commitments, which requires a clear position from the international community to end the rogue Zionist occupation, and to stop all its violations and crimes against our Palestinian people.

This seems like a huge deal

I love that the generic lib response to this is to engage in Whataboutism regarding Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan. If you see someone doing this, remember to ask them how many countries recognize Palestine as a state versus any of those other places.

I thought China was on team Israel. Or maybe I'm confused because they're helping Russia, and Russia is on team Israel? International politics is weird sometimes.

Reeeeaaaallly now? Maybe we should let the Uyghurs know. Or those in Hong Kong. Or Tibet.

Winnie Pooh is tripping

I was wondering why so many comments with any criticism against China were being downvoted.

Then I noticed which instance this was posted on.

And then all those comments were removed by mods. Which only proved their points.

Interesting take as far as China is concerned, not that I disagree. I wonder how their arguments for Palestine don't conflict with their stance on Taiwan or even Tibet, or their current actions against the Uyghurlar. I suppose it's more geopolitical posturing against "the West" more than an actual statement of ideology, but there might be nuance.

Ok sure. But attacking and killing civilians in their homes, in the streets and in festivals isn't exactly what I would call resisting oppression.

Israël is a fascist, ethno-theocratic apartheid state that lost all it's legitimacy with the current genocide they are perpetuating. But Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to go. They are in no way helping nor represent Palestiniens in Gaza.

Ah, ole "Suppress hong Kong" china wants Palestine to have the right to armed resistance? Classic.

To be clear, they should, but fuck China.
