This is what I call national narcissism. Psychological disorders are typically diagnosed for individuals. However some disorders are made by maladaptive cognitive pattern, not individual biological issues. This pattern can be culturally transmitted to a broad group of people, much like a virus of physical illness. Israel appears to have narcissism infected in their culture.I think what Assassin mace is saying what gives Israel the right to expect and demand China to renounce neutrality and uncritically bend the knee to Israeli narrative like West does. They frame the convo as if China is guilty by association just by being neutral. China is neutral and Israel make it seem like it's killing babies. Only conniving Western media does that dance of "you either with us or against us" bullshit.
Speaking of narcissism, check out this video posted in the funny thread:This is what I call national narcissism. Psychological disorders are typically diagnosed for individuals.

You should not be making sweeping claims about the psyche and ethnic relations of a country you did not grow up in without first doing a whole lot of research, which you clearly have not.Why do black senators and Lloyd Austin oppose China? Because they're racist believing the narrative of China told by their oppressors. From my perspective what the West did to Africans is the same grand plan that took them 400 years to reach China to do the same thing. But because black senators and Lloyd Austin hate China for fighting against the very white supremacy that oppressed their ancestors, somehow you give them the authority to decide that hating Chinese is legal? Because they're black and oppressed, they can do no wrong? Another group that thinks the Chinese have never been oppressed because they don't know history meaning they're no authority on the Chinese... Katherine Tai is Taiwanese therefore not surprising anti-China. Are you going with the racism of Republicans thinking if you can find a black or another Chinese that hates Chinese, it must be okay? Hate is okay if more than one race hates Chinese...? You should think about that... Because Gordan Chang hates China, it must mean hating Chinese is legitimate because he's half Chinese? That's the logic going on here. Talk about bad omens again. You wouldn't like if that logic was applied to you.
I only brought this up because they're trying to drag China into this like China is guilty for doing nothing. And what's happening now is you're criticizing it because you don't want any counter to the narrative out there meaning leaving the narrative that China is somehow complicit for doing nothing. Like I said it's equivalent to telling the Chinese to ignore anything that happened to the Chinese and only care about what I care about because it's more important.
Typical "atrocity propaganda", probably as old as warfare itself:It means that at some point in their history Westerners probably beheaded babies, so that's why they're projecting that on the Hamas now:
Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack
This is a pretty trivial red herring. The fact of the matter is that they intentionally carried out an operation to kill as many non-combatants as they could, and this resulted in about 500 civilian deaths with hundreds more captured. That's already an atrocity by any objective metrics. Fixating on one point of possible propaganda about babies is just misdirection. Likewise Iraqi conduct in Kuwait was still insanely cruel even if the incubator incident never happened. Remember that the US, USSR, and PRC were in unanimous agreement that Iraq's actions were totally unacceptable and all voted in favor of intervention.Typical "atrocity propaganda", probably as old as warfare itself:
Recent examples include "babies thrown out of incubators", Viagra for Libya government force to rape rebels, Assad gassed his own people, etc.
