While the U.S. has now identified Communist China as its greatest threat, the Palestinian Authority has consistently declared its total support for Beijing, and has done so yet again as tensions rise over Taiwan. Yet this support does not seem to bother the Bidenites, who continue to lavish hundreds of millions of dollars in aid on the PA. A report on Mahmoud Abbas’ latest embrace of the hard men in Beijing is here: “Palestinian Authority Declares Support for Chinese Regime as Tensions Deepen Between Washington and Beijing,” by Ben Cohen, Algemeiner, August 2, 2022:
The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Tuesday declared its full support for the People’s Republic of China amid renewed tensions between Beijing and Washington, DC, over the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
In a statement carried by the official PA news agency WAFA, the PA “affirmed its position supporting the sovereignty, territorial integrity and the unity of the People’s Republic of China.” It stated that the Palestinians held to a “longstanding position supporting the friendly People’s Republic of China and its sovereignty, territorial integrity and fully respecting the One China Policy principle.”…
In other words, the PA denies the right of Taiwan to exist as the only democratic Chinese state, and insists that Communist China’s claim to the island must be supported.
The PA’s statement was issued as Pelosi touched down in the Taiwanese capital Taipei.
“Our congressional delegation’s visit to Taiwan honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant democracy,” Pelosi said in a statement shortly after landing. “America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy.”…
China has remained a bastion of political support for the Palestinians at the UN. Addressing the UN Security Council last week, the deputy chief of the Chinese mission to the UN, Geng Shuang, urged “more active and vigorous actions on the Palestinian issue” as he protested that the “legitimate rights of the Palestinian people have been continuously violated” by Israel.
The Palestinian leadership has responded in kind, including by declaring its support for Beijing’s repression of the Uyghur Muslim minority in the north-western region of Xinjiang, which many states and human rights organizations have termed a genocide. In July 2019, the PA added its signature to a letter that lavishly praised the Chinese regime for its “remarkable achievements in protecting and promoting human rights through development,” going on to assert that democratic states should “refrain from employing unfounded charges against China” by approaching the Uyghur human rights emergency “in an objective and impartial manner … with true and genuinely credible information.” Other states to endorse the letter included Venezuela, Iran, Cuba and Syria.…
What a lineup of the world’s most hideous regimes, declaring their support for Red China! The P.A. is proud to be in that galère. That tells us all we need to know about Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority. Abbas, who routinely arrests his political opponents, and not long ago had his goons beat to death Nizar Banat, his most effective critic, of course applauds the greatest of all police states, the People’s Republic of China, for its “protecting and promoting human rights through development” – meaning that the economic development in China justifies the regime’s riding roughshod over human rights. In the past the PA has not only refrained from criticizing, but actually supported, China’s suppression of the Muslim Uighurs, preferring to side with fellow despots in Beijing rather than with their fellow Muslims.
The PA’s warm words for China ought to give the Bidenites pause. Is the P.A., which has stoutly backed Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, and hailed China for its “remarkable achievements in protecting and promoting human rights,” really to continue to be the recipient of hundreds of millions of dollars from American taxpayers? Why not halt that aid, and let the P.A. go hat in hand instead to its spiritual cousins and political allies, Putin’s Russia and Communist China?

Not to mention globalist CEO’s and Board of Directors exporting, or rather expelling, the majority of the Industrial manufacturing base (jobs & know-how) to a major Geo-political opponent like China. “Brilliant” move guys.

It’s only too appropriate that the PA support Beijing. After all, Beijing’s claims on Taiwan are about as legitimate as the PA’s own claims on Israel
And no, Uyghurs don’t and won’t count until Beijing is incapable of bankrolling dar ul Islam

Not only does the PA ignore that Muslim Uyghurs are being sterilized so that no Uyghur babies will be born, but that China has annexed Tibet and claims that Taiwan is part of communist China. On the other hand, the birthrate of Palestinian women is still very high, but falling due to the increasing education of Pally girls to the university level and the emigration of Pallies to other countries such as Chile, central America, the US, Qatar, Germany, etc.
The Chinese communists never conquered China and so never owned it in any way. The Nationalist Chinese have continuously owned Taiwan.
The Pallies are giving themselves a similar delusional ownership over Israel. So jump on board the delusion train.
China has no strategic interest in supporting a Pally conquest of Israel.

correction: The Chinese communists never conquered TAIWAN … (oops)
Infidel says
Today’s Taiwan has no interest nor pretense of being China – be it Nationalist nor Communist. They simply want to be Taiwan. Just b’cos they speak Mandarin doesn’t make them Chinese territory any more than Singapore does

This article of the joining of the forces of Communism and that of Islam is part of the phenomenon the known as the Red /Green alliance.
As for that above picture with its above heading of that Jihad -minded evil and dangerous man ,Abbas , and a high ranking official of Red China, it’s a reminder that it is written “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished.”
The Bible , Proverbs 11:21. [K.J.V.]
