Palestine
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

I also think we agree completely on this. Just to be clear: i was not stating what I think should happen but rather what i believe that China and other important states outside of the imperial core (because it's their opinion on this that matters, not mine) think about the UN and what should happen to it. And from what i have seen and heard from them it seems that they very much believe in the UN, and that they want it to be empowered and reformed to be a more equitable and less dysfunctional institution.
As to how this will be achieved given what you explained perfectly about what an obstacle that the imperial core represents to any sort of democratic reform of the UN, that remains to be seen. It all depends on how much US global power can be weakened and if multipolarity advances to such a point that the US itself has no choice but to give in to the mounting pressure from the rest of the world. I don't think that China will want to resort to such drastic moves as establishing a new UN. China believes that time is on its side and they're probably right.
Now if it was up to me i'd just wash my hands of the UN and revive the Comintern...
Yeah I understood what you were saying, don't worry. Perhaps I should share in the Chinese government's optimism. Unfortunately these past three weeks have eroded any sort of optimism I might have had brewing for the west in coming decades.
