“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.”

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?

We have seen the evidence for the things happening at places like the Chinese Uyghur internment camps directly, it’s not a claim where we have to trust a government without any proof.

Speaking of evidence, the latest UN report I could find was in August 2022. Direct accounts of 40 individuals from an alleged 1.3 million detained.

Don’t worry, you can turn right around and parrot NED blood libel without a hint of irony or dissonance.
