Weibo reacts to escalating tensions in the Israel Palestine conflict

Meanwhile, on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, netizens have taken exception to the actions of the Israeli Embassy in China. This is rare occurrence as it marks a significant backlash against Israel's diplomatic mission in China. A large number of comments critical of the embassy and its activities have mysteriously disappeared from public view on Weibo, leading to speculation about what could be behind this move.

On Tuesday morning, US Defense Minister Austin held a press conference, condemning Hamas attacks on Israel. However, this has not seemed to deter Chinese netizens who are actively posting against the Israeli Embassy's actions and expressing their support for Palestine.

The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) reported that widespread protests broke out across the United States on August 8th, with both Palestinian and Israeli supporters taking to the streets. Some protesters were seen surrounding the White House, shouting slogans and carrying signs calling for action in response to the ongoing conflict.

In a report by Reuters and Voice of America, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations accused Palestinian Islamic organization Hamas of war crimes on Sunday. The accusation comes amidst reports that at least 260 bodies were found after Hamas's attack on Israel's local music festival on July 7. Videos and descriptions from social media platforms showed that the incident occurred in Gaza-Israel.

Chinese netizens seem to be practicing their independent thinking, according to a CNN report. They are showing support for Palestine, urging against taking sides. In response, some have called for the Israeli Embassy to let people enjoy watermelon without causing unnecessary stir or controversy. "You should deal with your own seeds and fruits yourself," one user wrote in a post lamenting the embassy's constant interference in Chinese affairs
