Initial response from Mainland Chinese Foreign Ministry
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.
Sen. Schumer from the US is in mainland China right now, and after his meeting with President Xi, he said he was disappointed with Chinese response. Mainland china issued another statement then that was a bit stronger.

That may be one of the most disturbing things in this thread. It represents the editorial mindset and leadership of The Paper of Record.

If it was Hamas, and they are the leaders in the Palestinian government, are they terrorists or are they an army? There’s a distinction there.

My ass. Look at the planning, the groups who coordinated the attack, the multi-faceted nature of the attack, the financing, etc., etc.
It's a fucking war crime.

Big distinction. Sovereign states maintain armies. Hamas is not an army but rather a para military terrorist organisation that has control over the mainly Muslim and a few Christian inhabitants of the small ethnic enclave of Israel called Gaza. Gaza is no more a sovereign state than Kwazulu in South Africa or Wounded Knee Indian Reservation in the USA.

I suppose this belongs in this thread:
Vladimir Putin asks both sides in the Gaza War to minimise or eliminate civilian casualties
In other words, to not fight like Russia does in Ukraine.

The journalist could've gone with the middle school-level, yet effective, approach of saying "If you don't say anything I will take your silence that you condone Hamas' actions."

And, as I commented elsewhere - "I thought silence was violence?"
Where is your St. George Floyd now, infidel?

That tracks with their abortion stance.

But we already know the Iranian government had a significant part to play in this.

There are reports that some of the Hamas fighters were speaking Persian.

I'm surprised they left the word "massacre" in there. Perhaps "de-lifing" would sound less judgy.
