I mean black americans arent exempt from being manipulated by the empire. Afropessism is basically just early stage black zionism. Especially since there has been a cultural drive to assimilate them into the empire - see Beyonce dressed as a cowboy, or Nicki Minaj speaking to defend Christians in Nigeria, or Queen Charlotte, or Kamala discourse, where people justified the genocide of Palestinians via the historic arab slave trade & anti-black racism in the middle east.

American left got entirely enthralled by a soft zionist faux-obama mamdani is already celebrating opportunism as the next October Revolution. Nicki Minaj speaking about Christians being killed in Nigeria, somehow means america needs to invade nigeria. Every theatrical outburst colored with militant language is endlessly fanned over and memed.
Its tiring, honestly.
Like Egypt has 100 million+ people, their army is stationed right on the border with occupied Palestine. Except for the US, no other country has the ability to launch transcontinental naval campaigns.
They still constrain themselves via UN law, this case is exactly the same as the Gaza resolution.
Because they dont really want people to become based revolutionaries with a holistic understanding of the world.
Nazi Germany only lasted for 13 years, Israhell lasts since 77 years and counting.
Another poignant example (alongside the baltics) of weaponized victimhood and sovereignist narratives - even with anti-colonial flavour - giving rise to nativist sentiments and support for the very thing done to one "never again...to us".
History has a cruel irony.
When will we (leftist) finally graduate from liberal thought such as "Overton Window", "Brainwashing" and general supremacy of moralism. Its CLASS ANALYSIS that is our primary modus operandi and Historical Materialism is our eye. You will never lecture people into doing the right thing - ESPECIALLY when it will have an negative economic effect on them.
Return to your point, I agree with a 100% - the incessant need to declare china as your enemy is very strange (not really) for the western left - like they actively want china to this revisionist "bad country" so they can support us state line in "good leftist way". My heart breaks everyday the genocide of the Palestinian continues and I wish like most of this site that it would end no matter. But the brains ought to know that WISHING and WANTING the world to be a way, does not make it so. We need the collective power to actually create the change we want to see, and the first step is perceiving what is in front of us, not what we WISH to see.
China will not help unless Hamas is the undisputed authoritative voice of the Palestinian people, unless a significant amount of Muslim - especially arab countries actually want to oppose the west. Even the most internationalist force that was the soviet union only helped when there was enough support for resistance, they never created communist revolutions in vast colonial estates of the west out of thin air. Not only is the harsh truth that the PRC's responsibility is to the Chinese people first and foremost, but also that china increasingly meddling in an outright hostile (more and more governments sign the Abraham accords for example) region is contrary to their grand multipolar non-interventionist order they are selling as the alternative to the west empire.
Comrades in the middle east need to create the strong, UNITED, and organized anti-west force that china and russia are willing to court.
Again this has been known since 50+ years
Societal collapse brings stuff like that.
No socialist country made it very easy to immigrate or become a citizen. Thats an entirely capitalist phenomenon.

I think you misunderstood me. I am saying that china constrains themselves via UN law. The statement made is a declaration of sovereignty and a gentle threat, but it builds chinese action on a UN framework, just how the gaza resolution was done upon a UN framework and not vetoed by china & russia because of UN legal authorization of the PA and arab collaborator governments who use the UN to neutralize us imperialism in the region.
The other things you mention are entirely out of the scope of my comment. And I am not one of the "china & russia betrayed gaza" crowd. Because other middle eastern governments and of course the west first and foremost are faaaar more responsible if anything its more like "Kazakhstan, Egypt, Syria, UAE. Qatar, Morrocco and Saudi Arabia betrayed Gaza"
