Supporters of Israel argue China's "injustice" framing is self-interested theater, noting Beijing's own territorial disputes and Uyghur record, so Israel weighs power, not sermons, and keeps building.
Supporters of Israel argue China’s rebuke is leverage-seeking, not principle: Beijing courts Gulf oil and Global South votes, so Israel treats the statement as pressure to manage, not a mandate to halt settlements.
