Can you provide a reference for this claim that Israel offered the vaccine and was rejected? I have no claims one way or another, just trying to understand it from unbiased (or at least minimally biased) sources.

Here’s a very biased source even admitting that Israel offered the vaccine to PLO workers: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/israel-to-vaccinate-palestinian-workers/2021/02/20/5097c53a-7358-11eb-93be-c10813e358a2_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/israel-to-vaccinate-pal... thus totally negating your claim that it’s mostly Chinese.

  I'm confused? I made no claim at all regarding the Chinese. The article that you've pointed to is a fairly low number relative to the Palestinian population, is it not? I'm not saying that you are wrong, I just feel like I'm not getting a full understanding of the situation.

    I was under the impression you were the one who I originally replied to, sorry for the confusion. Regardless I found that link after 4 seconds of googling, there’s a lot of FUD out there when you use all the necessary keywords and I’m not gonna spend it to get low level responses (from ppl who have zero understanding of the situation but criticize any ways), but if you’re interested it shouldn’t be too hard to find. In answer to your question about population size, Nope. Not for the ones that Israel has any reasonable connection to...

      > In answer to your question about population size, Nope. Not for the ones that Israel has any reasonable connection to... That's a fair point about their ability to reach the others. I'm curious if they've attempted to offer vaccines and been rebuffed? TBH, as someone really far from the situation (in the US), I find it really hard to tell what to believe and what not to. This is the best article that I found on the subject: https://www.bbc.com/news/55800921 https://www.bbc.com/news/55800921
