China says the path to peace is to give Palestine its freedom
Characteristically, the warmongering USA has used its Media to attack Chinese realism.
Would you want freedom if you were in a cage? Would you be like other prisoners, throughout history, who were willing to kill for theirs and their family’s freedom?
The notion that 14 million people can be separated and displaced by a religious birthright thousands of years old is wilder than a Disney movie. In reality, it’s a horror.
Every country has a proportion of nutcases but the majority believe in convenience. In this case, Israeli’s use of religion is the easy route for why Arabs (and Christians) don’t deserve to exist.
Context is bigger than religion.
Palestinians are split into prison camps collectively called The State of Palestine. Palestinians consider the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to be that State but it’s only the former area which is conceded to by the United Nations (UN). It’s more complicated with the Palestinian Authority ruling the West Bank whilst Hamas is the power in Gaza.
Despite the vast majority of the UN’s members recognising the State of Palestine, it’s not accepted as a member and only has “observer” status.
That’s racism and geopolitics, a bent knee to the power of the U.S. and U.K. Similarly, the UN criticises Israel for its human rights abuses but acts to support that status quo of inequality.
The 2 million Palestinians that live in Israel don’t have equal rights, and can have their generational family home stolen from them.
The Gaza Strip and the West Bank incarcerate 5.4 million people. It’s beyond expectations that their women die only 10 years younger than their Jewish neighbours on the other side of the wall.
Millions of Palestinians are displaced into surrounding countries, notably Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia - many are stateless without a future. The diaspora goes as far as South America.
Consequently, it’s reasonable to look at the bigger picture, and call for a logical solution.
China has reliably done this again, but the difference is that Mainstream Media is portraying the attack by Palestinians as invasion or terrorism instead of a desperate counteroffensive against impossible odds, possibly 1,000 militia versus 750,000 soldiers, police and civil guards.
Lies make the situation ripe for the USA, convenors of the Media and the Cold War, to further demonise China. Few see the irony that the USA supplies the weapons keeping Palestinians poor and imprisoned. The aggressor becomes the righteous, and the peacemaker devilish.
For better perspective, the statement by China is infinitely smaller than the West’s propaganda campaign.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson’s Remarks on the Escalation of Tensions Between Palestine and Israel
Q: Fierce conflict has broken out between Israel and Palestinian armed groups in the Gaza Strip, causing massive casualties on both sides. Does China have any comment on this?
A: China is deeply concerned over the current escalation of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel. We call on relevant parties to remain calm, exercise restraint and immediately end the hostilities to protect civilians and avoid further deterioration of the situation.
The recurrence of the conflict shows once again that the protracted standstill of the peace process cannot go on.
The fundamental way out of the conflict lies in implementing the two-state solution and establishing an independent State of Palestine.
The international community needs to act with greater urgency, step up input into the Palestine question, facilitate the early resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, and find a way to bring about enduring peace.
China will continue to work relentlessly with the international community towards that end.”
George Galloway (The Mother of All Talk Shows) has had many years of experience on the subject of Palestine but these days is never invited to share his wisdom on the BBC and other main media (I wonder why). Yesterday's show on YouTube is well worth listening to.
