China: Statement Regarding “Israeli Ban” Rumour! (28.1.2026)

The ongoing Zionist Project is to eradicate the Palestinian population (a “genocide” disguised by the rhetoric of “self-defence”) whilst seizing and occupying all Palestinian land. This invasion does not stop here – as the Zionist Project views large swathes of Middle Eastern territory as Biblically belonging to the Jews of old. Israel is armed and financed by the US, UK, and EU and acts as a destabiliser of Arab culture in the region – which otherwise would become independently rich and powerful through oil revenue. To prevent this, the Israeli and US military has cooperated to destroy all Arab Socialist countries (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria – whilst threatening Iran) – and/or convert any existing Arab States that might unite to resist Israel (Egypt, Qatar, Jordon, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, etc) to mere of lackeys of the West and Israeli interests. The USSR cut-off diplomatic ties with Israel in 1952 – but the Trotskyite Khrushchev reinstated them in 1956. In 1967 – after a massive Israeli land-grab in Palestine and Syria – the USSR (and Communist Bloc) severed all ties with Israel and this was the case until 1991.
