Well, as Comrade Zelda might say:
Ew. Possibly smuggled in by Iran? I don’t think escalating the fighting is really going to help the Palestinians caught in the middle.
I get what your saying. And your right. But historically roll over and die has been unpopular even in the most bleak situations i.e. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising
I absolutely understand Gaza defending itself, and I even understand it using unconventional means to do so (e.g. guerilla warfare). However, we’re also talking about a terrorist organization using weapons from a major world power. That’s not a good look for China, so I highly doubt it was China that gave the weapons to them. If China is directly helping Gaza, that’s a major issue.
Could be a pipeline from China - Russia - Turkey/Syria/Iran - Egypt - Gaza, or it could skip a lot of middlemen through the sea.
Could also just be bait to rile up the western world powers as Israel get’s called into the Hague this week.
