    I completely understand the frustration. But unfortunately a veto wouldn’t realistically achieve much other than leave Gaza with no peace plan at all.

    I think that the people who criticize China the harshest for not doing enough for Palestine are overestimating China’s power and influence in this specific situation, and they are putting an impossibly high standard on China that they are not putting on their own governments, or even on the governments of the Arab countries who are much closer to Palestine and have a much bigger responsibility and obligation to involve themselves than China does. It is happening in their backyard, not in China’s, so why aren’t they doing more?

      Like Egypt has 100 million+ people, their army is stationed right on the border with occupied Palestine. Except for the US, no other country has the ability to launch transcontinental naval campaigns.
