Chinese diplomat’s comments at ICJ appear to endorse armed struggle against Israel in what analyst calls an ‘unanticipated shift’ in stance

However, others say comparisons between speech at World Court and Mao-era rhetoric are overstated, noting Beijing still favours a two-state solution

The USSR would've simply directly funded and/or militarily supported Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. And they did do so with with the PFLP until the USSR was overthrown.

Though ig two superpowers militarily supporting opposide sides has the risk of just turning the place into a warzone like what happened with Afghanistan.

Honestly a warzone is better that what's happening now.

I feel like this is exactly what's happening. China isn't jumping in because their pro-palenstine. Theyre jumping in because they're anti US. This will only drag on and worsen the conflict as it becomes one giant proxy war.
