There have been anti-Semitic comments on China’s social media channels for years. The ugly corners of the internet are no different there than anywhere else in the world. However, since the Hamas attack on October 7 and the subsequent bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli military, verbal hatred has increased sharply. Israeli Jews should not be surprised if they are digging their own grave, writes nationalist blogger Ziwu Xiashi, who has over a million followers on Weibo alone: „In the past, the German Nazis didn’t let you live, and now you won’t let the Palestinians live.“ The post has over a thousand likes. Under it are comments such as: „Israeli neo-Nazis are evil.“
