Before I fall asleep, a few thoughts on China's "neutral position": As an Israeli, let me start by saying that there is no such thing as a "neutral position" at this time. 1/8.
Thank you to everyone who's contacted me to offer their support. I'm alive, well, and on duty, but I'm paying attention to what everyone is writing here, and I'll never forget those who betrayed their ignorance. China's moral bankruptcy is similar to its reaction to Ukraine.

If Biden's speech was one of the most pro-Israeli made by a US leader, Wang Yi's speech below was its polar opposite. It felt like another twist of the knife in Israel's back, just like the dagger that struck an Israeli diplomat's spouse in Beijing on the very same day:.1/22
In my 50 years, I have never been more proud to be an American. President Biden's remarkable speech moments ago will go down in history as one of his best ever and the most impactful support of Israel’s right to defend itself “decisively and overwhelming” against those bent on

The war has demonstrated that China does have a security footprint in the Middle East - footprints of running away from combat.

This story reeks of McCarthyism. I've been following @thechinaproj (SupChina) for the better part of a decade and even published articles on their website (highly critical of Beijing, by the way), and @goldkorn and @KaiserKuo have always been nothing but professional. 1/2.

PA terrorists beheaded babies and burned entire families alive, and you're talking about a two-state solution and a cease-fire? Are you even remotely connected to reality? Come over here and step into our nightmare to have your brain rewired. The Middle East has changed forever.
To end the cycle of conflict between Palestine and Israel, the key is to return to the two-state solution as the basis, restore peace talks, establish an independent State of Palestine, and realize the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel.

Chinese govt news portal 中国网, a front for the CCP Propaganda dpt, alleges that Israel had used white phosphorus bombs, now #8 on Weibo's trending topics, prompting Chinese netizens to compare Israel to the Nazis. False report. Images are from Syria. Ukraine. to. the. letter.
10月10日,中国网主导了一则关于以色列向加沙使用了白磷弹的谣言,目前冲上了微博热搜第八名,继续引导中国民众的仇恨。.这则谣言在一天前出现在推特上,但是因为使用的是7年前在叙利亚的图片而被辟谣。.中国的官媒很聪明的使用了“资料画面”来规避造谣风险。

Breaking @ZmanIsrael: Israel's Netanyahu plans to visit Beijing and meet w/ Xi next month. Senior Israeli officials told Zman, in response to the ongoing boycott imposed on Bibi by the Biden admin, the visit would send a message to Washington that Netanyahu has other options. 1/7

China now openly advocates for Hamas terrorists at the ICJ, justifying rape, massacre, beheading babies, kidnapping hundreds of hostages, and launching thousands of rockets indiscriminately at civilians as lawful "armed struggle". This disgraceful display won't go unanswered.
China’s🇨🇳 Representative at the ICJ reminds the world that under international law, armed struggle against illegal occupation is an enshrined right and is not terrorism. As John Pilger once said on Going Underground, ‘Palestine🇵🇸 has the right to defend itself’.

China Central Television social media account pulled today from the archives this 2020 antisemitic screed by party-state reporter Ye Zhiqiu and linked it to the war. My expectations were low, but damn.
In video outlining "the Israel factor" in US elections, this CCTV reporter says: "Jews represent a mere 3% of [US] population but control more than 70% of its wealth and is US' most influential minority." "6 or 7 Jews" control 200+ of US' most influential companies, she adds.

“I’m not aware of any specific offer of this kind,” Israel's PM Netanyahu told @CNBC re Beijing's mediation effort w/ the Palestinians. “Look, we respect China, we deal with China a great deal. But we also know we have an indispensable alliance with our great friend the US.” .1/3

So suddenly China can condemn terrorism. Israel has been waiting almost three months for Beijing to denounce Hamas terrorism, which has killed ten times as many civilians in a single day. Then they lecture the US about "double standards." .See:
China is deeply shocked by the terrorist attack in Iran's southeastern city of Kerman, which resulted in numerous casualties. We express condolences to the victims, injured and the families of the deceased. China opposes all forms of terrorism, strongly condemns terrorist acts,

According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the balloon was "meant to assist Chinese nationals in the United States in renewing their driving licenses.".
Sec. of State Antony Blinken: "We're confident this is a Chinese surveillance balloon. The presence of this surveillance balloon in U.S. air space is a clear violation of U.S. sovereignty and international law."

These articles are misleading at best. The Pew survey's 24 countries, while damning of China's efforts, only convey part of the story. Other polls in the Global South, such as the Afrobarometer & Arab Barometer, show that China is seen favorably, in fact, even more so than the US.
Under Xi Jinping China has spent tens of billions of dollars to boost its soft power. Ten years later, people around the world like China less than ever. [My take].

Since Xi took the helm, China and Russia have signed a slew of media-sharing agreements that reinforce their alternative, fabricated reality. Sputnik alone has 17 pacts, per NYT. Mark my words: We're in for a flood of antisemitism from Chinese sources. Must read 🧵by @rakovdan:.
A🧵The war in Gaza has completely changed how Israel is covered in Russian state media. Now it is in line with the principles of modern anti-Semitism: blurring the difference between Israel and the Jewish people and comparing both to the Nazis. /1
