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.

Look over there Trump just said something stupid!

Surely you can find a source that spins it in a negative way?

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.

cannot be equated with terrorism

The only terrorists here are the "israeli" militants.

[–] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 35 points 8 months ago

love how that guy who climbed the fence and got shot by his own guys on the walk back wasn't considered a terrorist by the media despite 1) being a lone wolf and 2) not operating as part of an authorised military action. I suppose that latter point is because all Israeli's take part in an authorised military action as an occupying force every second of every day.

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.

Finally someone with some international clout says the obvious

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

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.

This seems like a huge deal

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I love that the generic lib response to this is to engage in Whataboutism regarding Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan. If you see someone doing this, remember to ask them how many countries recognize Palestine as a state versus any of those other places.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Really weird that libs continue to hang into any sentiment regarding Tibet when the Dalai Lama literally just tried to get a child to suck on his tongue in public just last year.
