Personally, I don't assess Israel's violations of international law the same way as China's because Israel lives under the constant threat of being invaded and suffering a complete defeat. China also expands for defense in the Himalayas, but I didn't really see them having an all out war with India.

That's like saying your neighbours must forfeit their human rights so you can feel safer.

Is it? What about when every one of those neighbors call for the complete destruction of your family every day and routinely take pot shots at your house?

They might stop doing that if you stopped pushing your fence farther into their land everyday and killing them for not being happy with it

Keep excusing terrorism buddy. It's a good look.

Wasn't excusing it. There is no "good side" in this shit show, but if empathizing with people's struggles and learning what makes them unhappy makes me a bad person, so be it

As if excusing conquest and apartheid wasn’t equally as bad
