  • First article:

    He names those states: “One is China. And the other is Qatar. They are organizing an attack on Israel… [through] the social media of the Western world and the United States."

    No sanctions.

    Israeli importers say that Chinese suppliers have begun bureaucratic practices without announcing sanctions against Israel and are required to fill out many forms.

    China apparently added bureaucratic hurdles to Israel but there is no refusal to sell any dual use goods. I haven’t found any other sources mention this other than this random Hebrew newspaper by the way, so the extent of these hurdles isn’t even clear, nor is it known whether these hurdles are still present. Barely sanctions.

    The third source is your average noncommittal marketing. Words are irrelevant if there are no actions to back them up. Same with UN decisions - you can vote 100 million times to condemn Israel but it doesn’t change anything if you don’t commit to actually doing something. It’s “thoughts and prayers” in response to a genocide, I’m sure Palestinians are satisfied.

    And China being one of the largest Israeli trade partners means they have a lot of leverage, even more so than the UK. Which makes it ever more so pathetic they aren’t doing anything.
