PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Due Dissidence

A top Chinese scholar was seen confronting an Israeli official about the military onslaught on Gaza in a video that has now gone viral on social media.

Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, clashed with Elad Shoshan, the military attaché of the Israeli embassy in Beijing, at the annual Xiangshan forum in Beijing on Wednesday.

On the sidelines of the annual defense forum, Mr Yan confronted the military representative, saying that Israel should have only shot "the terrorists".

"Not the children! Not the women! When you [shot] the women and the children, you lost the legitimacy to carry out any actions for that reason," the scholar said in the purported video viral on Chinese social media Weibo and X.

Mr. Yan then used a bank robbery as an analogy and asked Mr Shoshan if police officers should resort to killing the hostages to get to the criminals.

The UN Human Rights Council this week concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, issuing a report that called on the international community to end it and take steps to punish those responsible for it.

Despite the findings, the Israeli military has escalated its ground offensive in Gaza City, forcing more than a quarter of a million Palestinians to flee the enclave. The international community and global organisations have called on the Israeli military to abandon its plans to seize the city, warning that such an assault could further worsen an already dire humanitarian crisis.
