Good article, and as you mentioned above this is shocking

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-itamar-ben-gvir-calls-execution-palestinans-ease-overcrowding-prisons#:~:text=Itamar%20Ben%20Gvir%2C%20Israel's,places%20for%20%22security%20prisoners%22.

The man is pure evil:

And the US has knowingly unleashed him and other extremist- violent ones:

It's just another example of the two-faced strategy of the US in this region. And then the US want to tell the Palestinians who they can and cannot pick for their own national leadership and national resistance against the illegal occupation by Israel that the US is supporting.

There is another, deeper and more opaque, motive behind China's and Russia's different approach to the Palestinian problem, which can only by understood in greater historical context.

Russia and China, besides being old civilizations (or just because of it), have never pursued a colonization policy far from their home ground. Observant followers of international politics are well aware of both countries' oftentimes repeated proclamations of the need for "peaceful coexistence", which both Russia and China are, significantly more to the point, also doing in practice, as seen with Russia's role in Syria and what's left of Lybia, as well as China's "equal partnership" infrastructure deals in the "third world", mainly in Africa.

On the contrary, the "West's" rise was and still is a result of the murderous looting spree of Western Europeans since the days of Columbus. The progress of the "western world" is a direct consequence of a parasitic blood-sucking policy that still plagues a large portion of the Earth to this very day. The "West" thrives on hegemony, because it simply cannot survive without subduing other nations and extracting all their wealth for itself.
