Israel

Most Israeli Jews are settlers from Europe who have expelled Palestinians from their native land therefore they are colonisers in the land of Palestine.

Palestine

 @9N7DY74United Arab Listagreed…9mos9MO

Palestinians are native people to this land . They are descendants of Jews, Aramaic people and other groups who have lived in this land before but embraced the aspects of the Arab culture. Zionist colonisers meanwhile are Europeans who are more native to Europe than to Palestine.

 @9K8VSVQJewish Home disagreed…12mos12MO

We are the only country in the world that is expected to care more about the lives of enemy civilians than our own. We are doing what we need to do to protect our civilians and it is tragic what is happening to the Palestinians but we are not to blame. There is no genocide. Civilians are being used as incentive for us not to protect ourselves against terrorism

China Blacklists U.S. Companies In Trade War Escalation

China's blacklisting of PVH (Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger) and Illumina marks the first time American companies with major Chinese operations have been targeted on national security grounds, signaling an escalation in trade tensions.The blacklisting came in response to Trump's imposition of additional 10% tariffs on Chinese imports, alongside Beijing launching an antitrust probe into Google.A record 30% of American Chamber of Commerce member companies were considering or already moving operations out of China, according to a recent survey.China's "unreliable entity list," introduced in 2020, mirrors the US "entity list" and could result in fines, trade bans, and restrictions on staff movement for targeted companies.PVH, which derives 6% of revenue and 16% of pre-interest/tax income from China, was specifically targeted over alleged "unreasonable boycotting" of Xinjiang cotton.The blacklisting's implications remain unclear, leaving approximately 1,000 PVH employees in China uncertain about their future.China's Commerce Ministry has declined to specify potential sanctions, stating only that companies operating with integrity have "nothing to worry about."The move contradicts China's public stance on wanting more foreign investment, creating increased uncertainty for multinational companies operating in the country.The blacklisting strategy appears selective, with China typically avoiding targeting market leaders to minimize domestic employment impact.US companies were already struggling to navigate rising Beijing-Washington tensions before this latest escalation in trade conflicts.
