Tankies keep posting “NATO-backed Zionists” on the comm. It’s completely delusional because China, Russia, India, etc. all support Zionism as well. I was banned for pointing this out. I knew I was going against tankie narratives so I’m not surprised. It’s still pretty pathetic. Tankies literally value their alt-empire over actual meaningful anti-zionism.
FWIW I’m not especially anti-tankie either. I consider them the same as libs. People who are def better than fash but not necessarily allies.
- Why won’t China confront Israel?
- The Close Relations between Putin and Zionism
- The nationalist ideology that binds India to Israel
- Etc.
Edit: While I’m complaining… It’s worth pointing out that the palestine comm at lemmy.ml is basically spam. There’s people distracting with their NATO/Russia politricks. There’s people reposting slop from X. I mean what is this post? I’m ok with fundraising if it’s actually overt but this is absurd. I should have switched to dbzer0 long ago.
In the case of India and China, the basic principle of foreign policy is that we have to recognise and work with the governments of all countries even if we don’t like them. Recognition of, and trade with, Israel does not mean endorsement of zionism or any other policy of theirs. We simply recognise national sovereignity as an absolute principle.
