I don't know if we're ready for this conversation yet, but this kind of thing is somewhat downstream of the whole "[identity] existence is resistance" framework.
Who they may or may not work for isn't really relevant. Unless you're saying liberal democracies would be justified in disappearing non-violent protestors who oppose liberal democracy? I wouldn't support that.
Her position during the election was that the Israeli aggression needed to end, withholding offensive weapons was an option for leverage, but she would make sure Israel wasn't left defenseless. Why should the Israeli's who don't support the genocide be held accountable for a gov they don't support?
Like I said your position is "US does bad things, therefore China can never do bad things"
There are many different sources that report how the Chinese government disappears non-violent protestors. And you've already said you won't believe any of those sources.
If you believe the Chinese government has ended liberal democracy in their own nation, I don't know why you have such a hard time believing their police disappear non-violent protestors who publicly oppose the government.
You're advocating for a model of policing that disappears people who non-violently protest the government. I non-violently protest my current government. I would non-violently protest a non-liberal democratic government if one was imposed on me.
Yes, and if Harris had won the election, we could've pressured her to withhold those things, too. Instead, Trump won and now Israel is getting those bombs and more.
She said withholding offensive arms was an example of leverage that could be used to pressure Israel. Cutting off all weapons would include defensive systems like Iron Dome, which would endanger Israelis who do not support the genocide.
According to you, you're on the same "team" as the Chinese government. Therefore, your assertion that they can do no wrong and any reporting to the contrary is automatically false, is clearly a biased claim.
The claim in your link is that the HRW does accurate reporting on the violations of other governments, but may be avoiding criticizing the US in certain cases. Your link would support the idea that their reporting on China is accurate.
Chinese police disappear people who engage in non-violent protest, like simply putting up a banner that disagrees with the government. www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...
Actually, Harris explicitly ran on bringing an end to the Israeli aggression in a way that would protect Palestinian's freedom, security, and self-determination.
That's simply not true. She explicitly ran on bringing an end to the Israeli aggression in a way that would protect Palestinian's freedom, security, and self determination.
