Vice News, “China backs a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem”, 15 Dec 2017;

President Donald Trump went against decades of U.S. foreign policy and pretty much the whole world last week when he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

And unsurprisingly, pretty much the whole word has been angry ever since, with powerful leaders from Europe to the Middle East condemning the decision as needlessly provocative and dangerous.

As violence continues to swell in Israel and elsewhere over the issue, one world power kept notably calm on the issue: China.

But Thursday, China weighed in, restating its support for an independent Palestinian state “with East Jerusalem as its capital,” the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing Foreign Minister spokesman Lu Kang.

Thanks in part to its reliance on the region’s oil, “China has made clear its determination to play a more important role in the Middle East,” Asian affairs magazine The Diplomat wrote in an analysis last week. “Trump’s latest decision seemed to have provided China a good chance to realize this goal.”

China is due to host an Israeli-Palestinian peace symposium Dec. 21-22, Lu Kang said. The event was planned last summer.

Protests and violent demonstrations against Trump’s decision continued. At least eight Palestinians have died in the backlash so far, including four on Friday alone. Hundreds more have been injured.

A nice turn of phrase by Matthew Heimbach (endorsement of Trad Worker Party is not implied) -

This apathetic view of the Palestinian crisis is sometimes rooted in sincere anti-Islamic or isolationist sentiment. Israeli colonial meddling in the Muslim World is the main force radicalizing Muslims and driving them into the West, where Jews are more than eager to open the gate. Neocolonial Zionism has embraced, extended, and exterminated the ethnic identitarian ideal, perverting and subverting the natural and healthy striving for a humble homeland into a global and globalist attack on every ethnicity and identity but the Jewish one.

From “We’re All Palestinians Now”, 28 Dec 2017 ...

    ....and even more-so with your boy Trump’s help.

      Hence, this sentiment is a little late:

The only problem with standing with Palestinians is that Palestinians don’t yet stand with us. It’s a big problem, but it’s part of a larger problem where our cause is often perceived as aligned with and supportive of Zionism, colonialism, and Western military imperialism. White Nationalists routinely claim, while trying to be clever, that our cause is similar to Zionism, betraying that they understand neither Zionism’s history nor White Nationalism’s future.

    .....and these sentiments are also incompatible with Christianity, including your denomination - especially in its naive/disingenuous correspondence with the Russian “Federation”, Duginism, etc.

Then he goes on and comes clean with his Russian imperialism:

While we stand in solidarity with our White identitarian allies across the board, TradWorker’s forward-looking post-colonial, anti-colonial geopolitical framework is incompatible with White Nationalism’s more common and familiar sentimentalism for the bygone days when Western people got to be junior partners in the global colonialist project. Our nationalists often either want to advance toward a White Zionism where we also become a threat to other nationalists around the world or retreat to a paleocon isolationist indifference where we become irrelevant to other nationalists around the world.

Whether it’s Palestine’s Hamas, Syria’s Ba’ath Party, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, The Philippines’ Duterte, the DPRK, Iran, or even China, there’s an ascendant movement around the world that’s already moved past the West’s central banking machine and the globalist Enlightenment tropes it churns out. It’s hard to see the full picture from right in the middle of the American propaganda machine. It’s hard to wrap our minds around America’s inexorable geopolitical death spiral, but America, the European Union, and Israel are falling behind. Whites in America and Europe alike are not “People of Colonialism,” no matter what your professor told you. We’re under no moral or practical obligation to remain tied to the fate of a “Western Civilization” which is no longer either “Western” or civilized.

The Kurds, the Ukrainians, Saudi Arabia, the modern Sinn Fein, and the Scottish Nationalists promote globalism and suck up to the Jews. We must not support those people. Any movement that promotes globalism or suckles at the teat of Zion must be considered our enemy. Those with nationalist aspirations who attempt to tie the fate of their identitarian ambition to the globalists and their triangulations are betraying their integrity and won’t even achieve their homeland in exchange.

“The Ukrainians”? “The Kurds”?

Trump: It’s great to be with Prime Minister Netanyahu, we’ve developed a great relationship, both as countries it has never been stronger and also as personal friends.

The big move is the fact that we will be moving our embassy to Jerusalem, way ahead of schedule by years.

Netanyahu: We also support you on your stalwart position on the Iran nuclear deal, you said it’s a disastrous deal. You said its fatal flaws are now fixed. You should walk away from it and I want you to know that if you decide to do that we will back you all the way.

We also appreciate the fact that you confront Iran’s aggression with us and with other parties in the region as never before.

I’ve never seen the holistic alliance between the Unites States, Israel and your other allies in the region as strong, as unified as it is under your leadership.

The last one is that you stood up for Israel in the UN, in a remarkable way, rock solid support. This is a place, it’s a house of slander against Israel and against The Unites States, and by word and by deed you’ve told them enough is enough ..as you finish your first year in office, I want to say that I look forward to continuing our remarkable, tremendous friendship in the years ahead and I want to express the appreciation of the people of Israel to you - thank you Mr. President.

Trump: Israel has always supported The United States.

There were many deals that came close [with the Palestinians] but we could never get past Jerusalem.

We took Jerusalem off the table so we don’t have to talk about it [with the Palestinians] anymore.
