Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Mind you most political global south elites still believe in the "international law and order", global south libs are still libs. Also China is still trying to win over the EU.
Yeah but libs are fine with hypocrisy if it's in their interests. None of those global south libs would balk or blink an eye at sanctions against Israel.
The real insidious part of American sanctions are that they involve secondary sanctions. They don't just go after their target, they go after anyone who trades with the target. China could do sanctions without any secondary sanctions and the global south wouldn't mind at all since that's the part that's actually really oppressive to them.
Yeah because it/was still too costly to come out in support of palestine. South Africa was only opposed by its neighbours and the communist and it took until the 1990s for apartheid to fall. But the strength of israhell is wavering, because of the acts of the pro-Palestinian crowd and so the barrier for the global south libs to become more proactive is lowering.
