“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.”

He's not wrong

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

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

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.

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The US also should not do that

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 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.

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

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

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.

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.

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

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?
