>Another moved goalpost, china doesn't arm israel.
No, but that's missing the point. The logic that China shouldn't stop trading with Israel because somebody else would fill the gap can be applied to arms sales. What is the meaningful difference?
>Europe is a lapdog of the US, there is no such thing as non US western countries doing something against the US's will
And yet Canada and several EU countries are speaking openly of sanctions against Israel, while China has not. This comes down to a simple question of whether you think that Israel should be isolated from the rest of the world diplomatically, economically, and militarily. If you think they should then why don't you think China should play a role in this? If you think they shouldn't then explain why.
>China doesn't have similar hard power over its regional "allies".
They don't need hard power to cut off trade with Israel.

>>2567672
If China had used their veto, I wonder how many of these people would have criticized them for it. Since abstaining was clearly the correct decision, you know.

>>2567686 (me)
What I'm implying is that regardless if they voted for, against or abstained, China dickriders would quickly cobble together some talking points for why that was obviously the best possible decision.

>>2567672
>I find it very perplexing that some people seem to be incapable of having a generally positive view of a country while also acknowledging that it does some shitty stuff.
I find China to be a net good, but people defending China's obvious commercial interests in Israel and how this is leading to their unwillingness to veto the culmination of Gaza's genocide have their brains completely infected by some mediocre realpolitik rhetoric, they are far removed from anything even resembling material analysis or whatever they claim they do

>>2567689
I have seen several cases of american xitter users with red triangle emojis in their screen names accuse palestinian users of being "westoids". The perfect encapsulation of vulgar China dickriding.

>>2567682
>And yet Canada and several EU countries are speaking
This is all that matters to a western leftist
>>2567688
Considering it would have resulted in israel resuming bombing gaza for n more months before the same proposal would have been put forward by the US, with even more leverage after proving that tbeir threats are actionable, it would have been pretty actionable, yes.

>>2567689
>realpolitik
You're not a marxist

>>2567694
>This is all that matters to a western leftist
Actually a number of them already have implemented sanctions, and they've also pledged to arrest Netenyahu if he enters their territory. Why is China falling behind the West in opposition to Zionist genocide?

>>2567694
<speaking
>This is all that matters to a western leftist
China dickriders take "strongly worded statements" more seriously than any other political faction

>>2567699
>Why is China falling behind the West in opposition to Zionist genocide?
Are you fucking serious? China is practically the vanguard of non-military opposition to Israel. Just because they're giving Israelis vacuum cleaners doesn't mean shit.

>>2567696
>You're not a marxist
And you are faggot?

>>2567702
>China is practically the vanguard of non-military opposition to Israel.
In what sense? They won't reduce trade or enforce ICC rulings against them.

>>2567706
>In what sense?
Vibes, an occasional strongly worded letter and anti-israel content on xiaohongshu

>>2567706
Why should they make themselves the vanguard of "anti-semitism?"

>>2567702
Bruh… If talking shit (but not actually doing anything) about Israel makes you the anti-Israeli vanguard then anons on leftypol are bigger Anti-zionists than Hamas, Iran and the Houthis combined.

>>2567699
Uh huh, mamdani will arrest him, just you wait

>>2567712
Lmao right after I joked that xiaohongshu posts is the vanguard of Israel opposition you post this shit. They call them dandelions on the internet! If that's not the vanguard of anti-zionism I don't know what is.

So far i have not heard anything about this UN thing outside designated western leftist spaces,p which tells me it's yet another case of manufactured outrage

>>2567818
The swingsets are about to BURN

>>2567802
Congress condemning anything (and this is going to get a 100% vote because AIPAC owns republiuyghurs.) is meaningless and does nothing, they aren't passing a addendum to the patriot act saying "Give FBI authority to send death squads to all white supremacist homes" they're voting on some "Public disapproval" bullshit.

>Judeobolshevism,
🙄 "fuck off with this made up nonsense"

<Judebolshevism, China

🤬 "how do dengoids DARE"

>>2567818
BRG is member of the DSA? Lmao what's next? Iron Felix becoming a member of CPUSA????

>>2567818
hope it happens, it wont

>>2567818
inb4 trash taco says the n word

>>2567858
He's a been a member for a while. Lately he and the other "radicals" in DSA, have been crashing out over Zohran and the org's true role as a funnel for the Democrats. Which is why he's found himself in BE's crosshairs.

>>2567858
Better to be part of CPUSA than part of the zionist capitalist party

I can't believe this retard managed to stumble into making a truthnvke this powerful

>>2567974
I don't think that is ever going to happen. Rightoids idea of being anti capitalism always morphs into corporatism. Then again Trotskyites spent the last century shitting the bed against the USSR for being "degenerated worker state" or "state capitalist". So maybe he is right

>>2567944
he is not

YES I AM DICKRIDING
YES I AM GLAZING
YES I STAN BAD EMPANAGOD
