    Boycotting Israel would be a unilateral movement of active hostility that, unfortunately, would be viewed with hostility by the US and its vassals. China gets away with bilateral trade wars because they are acting in response to actions taken against it directly, not for a third party.

      The US views China’s mere existence as a hostility. What would the US do in response, launch missiles? Economic sanctions against China would hurt the US more than they hurt China, no?

      Obviously the West holds 1000x more culpability for Israel. I’m not saying “China bad”; I’m just trying to do “ruthless criticism”.
