Report: Anti-Semitism is Also Spreading Across China
“Hamas is still being too soft, going way too easy”
China is apparently not immune to this sickness.
From the Telegraph, via Yahoo News:
Why a wave of anti-Semitism is sweeping across China
Sitting in front of a map of the world, Chinese influencer Su Lin has been live-streaming rants in support of Hamas and against Israel since the war broke out. Coming almost every day, they are rife with anti-Semitism.
“Hamas is still being too soft, going way too easy,” says Ms Su, who has nearly one million followers online, in one video, adding that the Israelis are “lackeys of colonialism”.
“Shouldn’t they be captured?” she shouts into a microphone, referring to Israeli citizens taken hostage. “Israel is now just a Jewish version of the Nazis and militarism.”
Ms Su’s videos are part of a wave of anti-Semitism that has emerged online in China since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7.
That Beijing allows such sentiments to be shared on its heavily censored internet provides some insight into what narratives the ruling Communist Party is willing to promote on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
China has so far refused to condemn Hamas for its attack, angering Israel and risking Beijing’s relations with the country.
For years, Beijing has called for a two-state solution to establish an independent Palestine, a message that leader Xi Jinping reiterated this week in his first public remarks since war erupted, calling it a “fundamental way out”.
All this might seem a departure from China’s usual foreign policy not to “meddle” in other countries’ internal affairs.
But experts say that for China, support for the Palestinian cause goes back decades, and is the bedrock upon which Beijing has built relations with Arab countries.

One might say “But China took in Jews in WW2.” That’s true, but it was Shanghai that took them in. Shanghai has always been a separate political entity within China, and Xi Jinping, the current dictator in China, hates Shanghai.
In any case, 1) that was before the communists took over; 2) it wasn’t the Chinese that took them in, it was the Japanese, who ruled China at the time; 3) Shanghai didn’t specifically take in Jews, it was an open city to which anyone could come.
Odd that China would support Muslim terrorism when they claim the need to lockdown Xinjaing and the Uygurs is to prevent exactly that.
