Israel has essentially decided that it has no friends in the world besides the US and possibly Russia and that it’s OK with this.
For some odd reason, Israel is friendly with China. They are #2 Arm supplier to China, basically US give weapon to Israel, Israel pass them to China.
PRC is Pro-Palestinian as well as Iran too…
Israel sells it’s own developed weapons to China, and a lot of deals are limited by the US.
(Israel it the 4th/5th biggest arms exporter in the world, that’s not that surprising the 2nd, the question is how much % of the Chinese budget goes on Israeli weapons, probably very little)
Also, why shouldn’t Israel be friendly with China, Israel tends to try and be friends with anyone who’s actually willing to talk to it (as a few dozens of the countries in the world are automatically against Israel and will not consider open diplomatic relations with it)
I read this five minutes before seeing in the press yet another scandal involving Israeli spies in New Zealand. I mean, really guys, New Zealand?
I heard they’ve recruited spiny echidnas to undermine Arab olive orchards.
Israel sure needs a lot of stolen identities with passports, don’t they?

Interesting definition of “try”.
“Hi, you should be friends with us. Ignore everything we actually do and if you actually criticize us for it we’ll accuse you of being TOTALLY HITLER. Also, the only Jews that count are the ultra-fundamentalist ones here in Israel, the rest of you people out there are schismatic weirdos (but please keep sending money, thanks)”

The international community tends to box Israel into a corner though, doesn’t it? Resolutions against Israel from the UN are seemingly disproportionate in number.
Disproportionate to what exactly? Some mythical mean? For good or ill, Israel is very active both at home and abroad. This activity provokes comment. Why do you think UN reactions to Israel are disproportionate?
You think Israel is in charge for half of the world’s human rights violations? Or might it be that diplomacy is involved?
If it’s true, it’s probably training.
You know, all the sabotaging of Iran’s nuclear program is done by someone. (or do we think a actively terror supporting regime with nuclear weapons is a good idea now?)

The Human Rights Council is a joke. It’s also not the same thing as the international community, or even the UN (which condemned the UNHRC for its obsession with Israel).
Yes, I’m sure Calistas disapproves of Israel having spies in his country because he thinks Iran having nuclear weapons is a good idea. That’s the same reason I disapproved of Jonathan Pollard. What other reason could there be? The shortest path to getting nuclear weapons to Iran is to interfere with Israel spying on its allies, yessiree.
I don’t know, it seems that the NZ PM is hardly excited from that (if the story is even true).
So either the story is just fictional (a lot of Mossad stories are) or the New Zealand government seems OK with it. (Or maybe the PM is an Israeli spy! What else could it be?!)
He is a robot, not a Mossad spy… Or is he??

In other news, New Zealand claims Israel is responsible for the earthquake.

Israel PM guards tell women reporters to remove bras
Italy responded by praising Israel’s quick thinking security practices and promised to immediately implement identical procedures, the Italian PM’s Office said.
Removal of bras is common practice for medium security correctional facilities and above. The standard is to hand them a paper bag, allow the women to excuse themselves, have them undress and place the bra in the paper bag, redress, bring the bag out, send the bag through the machine, step through the scanner, and then go somewhere to put the bra back on.
Israel has a long relationship with the Chinese, beginning at least with the time Israel sold the People’s Republic of China the plans to our Trident Missile System.
Thanks, best friends!
Oh, I guess you love Iran too then.

If Iran makes women remove bras, yes.
