Israel has intensified airstrikes on Gaza after Hamas’ attack sparked a war in which more than 1,200 people in Israel and 1,400 people in Gaza have been killed.
As an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza looms, Russia and China have seized on the United States’ promise to help long-time ally Israel defend itself.
Both Moscow and Beijing blame the U.S. for the conflict and undermine U.S. support for Ukraine, with state-owned media spreading a disinformation narrative focusing on the alleged U.S. inability to aid both Israel and Ukraine.
Cartoons are a popular tool the state media in China uses for anti-U.S. propaganda.
One recent cartoon published in China’s state-owned Global Times depicts Uncle Sam bound at the waist by ropes. The ropes are attached to trucks — one labeled “Ukraine aid,” the other “Israeli aid” — moving in opposite directions.
The caption reads: “Stretched too thin.”
That is misleading.
Reports indicate there is not yet a significant overlap between Israeli and Ukrainian needs, and U.S. officials maintain aid to Israel won’t come at Ukraine’s expense.
On October 11, the U.S. announced a new military aid package for Ukraine that includes additional air defense capabilities, anti-tank weapons and other equipment.
