China calls lack of justice for Palestinians 'crux' of conflict
Nikkei Asia ^

BEIJING -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has blamed the rapidly worsening conflict in the Middle East on a lack of justice for the Palestinian people, days after the militant group Hamas carried out a deadly assault on Israeli territory.

"The crux of the issue lies in the fact that justice has not been done to the Palestinian people," Beijing's top diplomat said in a phone call with Brazil's Celso Amorim, a former foreign minister and now a special adviser to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. A statement on the call was released by Wang's ministry.

The call came just ahead of an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Friday to discuss the Israel-Hamas war. Brazil, a nonpermanent member, is chairing the council this month.

Wang urged all parties in the Middle East to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation. He added that the United Nations has a responsibility and duty to play a role in the Palestinian issue, and China is ready to cooperate closely with various parties, including Brazil.

Amid an outpouring of Western support for Israel after Hamas' weekend onslaught killed over 1,300 people, Beijing has maintained a relatively neutral position, lamenting civilian casualties but not condemning Hamas. Soon after the initial attack, it called for an immediate cease-fire and repeated its support for a two-state solution that would create an independent Palestinian homeland.

But the comment by Wang on how China sees the root cause of the problem appeared to mark a hardening of its stance amid heavy Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and talk of a possible ground operation to dislodge Hamas, which controls the strip.

Earlier this year, China positioned itself as a potential mediator between Israel and the Palestinians, as it seeks to become a more influential player in the region.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin on Thursday told reporters that "the Palestinian-Israeli conflict keeps repeating for a fundamental reason: The Middle East peace process has been off the right track, the foundation of the two-state solution has been continuously eroded, and relevant U.N. resolutions are not followed through in good faith."

Okay, maybe China can give them a homeland in China? Two million won’t even be noticed in the country.

China squealing like a true commie.

The old paradigm is being ignored. China and Russia are playing the old game.

A New game seems to be afoot.

What’s happening now. Right now.

THAT is justice.

Good point. Give the Palies a home in Uighurville. China can always use
more slave labor. And it would be a teaching moment for the Palies.
Palestinians [sic] are the most shiftless lazy people on God's earth.

No, Mr. Wang. It's because all moslems want all Jews dead and Israel wiped off the face of the earth. He's futzing around at the edges and ignoring the big problem right in front of his nose. Until moslems finally repudiate their Koran and say Jews (AND Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Shinto, Zoroaster, et al) have a right to life, nothing will change.

How nice to see China concerned about these 2 million muzzie terrorists.

Send them all to China - it’s a lot closer than flying to Mexico and sneaking across the border into Texas.

It’s 7,000 miles from Gaza to Texas but only 4,000 miles to Beijing!

And then Beijing can see they get China style justice.

“King Abdullah I of Transjordan...was the commander of the Arab Legion....The Arab Legion had about 10,000 soldiers, trained and commanded by British officers.

“Ideally, Abdullah would have liked to annex all of Palestine, but he was prepared to compromise. He supported the partition, intending that the West Bank area of the British Mandate allocated for the Arab state be annexed to Jordan. Abdullah held secret meetings with the Jewish Agency (at which the future Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was among the delegates) that reached an agreement of Jewish non-interference with Jordanian annexation of the West Bank (although Abdullah failed in his goal of acquiring an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea through the Negev desert) and of Jordanian agreement not to attack the area of the Jewish state contained in the United Nations partition resolution (in which Jerusalem was given neither to the Arab nor the Jewish state, but was to be an internationally administered area). In order to keep their support to his plan of annexation of the Arab State, Abdullah promised to the British he would not attack the Jewish State.”

“King Farouk of Egypt was anxious to prevent Abdullah from being seen as the main champion of the Arab world in Palestine, which he feared might damage his own leadership aspirations of the Arab world. In addition, Farouk wished to annex all of southern Palestine to Egypt.”

They don't need to work

WHITE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE JULY 2022:

President Biden will also announce new contributions totaling
$316 million to support the Palestinian people. This is on top
of the more than half a billion dollars the United States has
provided to the Palestinian people since the Biden Administration
restored much needed funding to the Palestinians.

They’re getting their justice right now but it’s hard to kill all those bass turds at once.

"China calls lack of justice for Palestinians 'crux' of conflict"

Are they referring to the same kind of justice Mao dealt to up to 80 million of his own countrymen?

Hamas’ goal is not land. It is the elimination of Jews.
