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.

Democracy Now has a good segment on it

It's the second most powerful and influential nation in the world saying the Palestinian armed resistance is completely valid.

Yes it's a priority report.

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

That was Nelson Mandela

The ANC didn't liberate South Africa with a cute hunger strike in prison.

cannot be equated with terrorism

The only terrorists here are the "israeli" militants.

Why is “Israeli” in quotes?

[-] Salph@infosec.pub 48 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Cuz words like that are usually used for countries, while "israel" is just a western colony in Palestine.

I mean, Jewish people originally heralded from around the eastern Mediterranean, middle east? That would make them historically middle eastern rather than western. Or are we strictly talking about western powers giving the Jewish people a 'homeland' after the second world war and the holocaust?

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.

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.

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Russia joined Iran last season when Iran started helping them in Ukraine, so they're def. Team Hamas.

[-] Muyal@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Who told you that? The only one who is still on Israel's side is the US

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

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

To be clear, they should, but fuck China.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 8 months ago

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.

Welcome to Lemmy. It's not quite as full of imperial core propaganda about everything that challenges its imperialism as Reddit is.

Well, maybe except LW. Saw someone with a zionazi flag in their username there once.
