Chinese propaganda joins the Hate Israel Crowd

 weibo, a chinese social network discussion area says that the people are increasingly anti Israel.

Over the past two weeks, a noticeable pro-Palestine sentiment has emerged on Chinese social media, which is closely tied to the alignment of Chinese scholars and the government’s position.

italics mine. 

discussion of how pro Palestinian articles in the Chinese press . It's all about being a victim of imperialism of course (/sarcasm)

but it's not just routine leftist support of the poor Palestinian victims or rants against the evil Israelis: 

Alongside the recent surge in pro-Palestine sentiments on Chinese social media, there has also been a clear rise in anti-Semitic expressions, including hate-filled comments and images targeting Jews, often referencing to Nazi Germany or the Holocaust.

more stuff about how China has had Jews living there for 1000 years and a lot of Jewish refugees fled there during WWII. However, the terrorists are playing the victim card so they are heroes to the social media: 

Chinese online reactions,...are deeply intertwined with echoes of China’s own national suffering and its modern history, 

italics mine. 

Chinese suffering presumably means suffering from the evil Great Satan of the west I presume, not the suffering of the Great Leap Forward Famine, the Cultural revolution, the Laogai camps etc. 

Of course, we all know why the social media and propaganda in China is instructing people to turn against not just Israel but promoting hatred of all Jews:  They need Arab oil, and have been buying a lot from Iran, who is the one funding and training the present day Hamas terrorism in Gaza.
