The worst part of this map is that they use a different shade of green in the key to the one they use in the map. /s

Why did you have to point this out

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 days ago

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious. I can't not see it.

Canada, Greenland, Australia, and Japan should totally recognize Palestine. It's not like they need to keep pleasing the US now that it's actively spitting in their face.

Greenland has to abide by Danish policy for foreign relations as its part of the Danish crown. Denmark should recognise it though.

honestly australia is kinda between a rock and a hard place … we have to ride the line between US and china because we’re hugely strategic to china with all our raw resources, with little to no ability to actually defend ourselves because we have such a huge land mass and tiny population (we’re about the size of the US in land mass with a population slightly smaller than texas: imagine if texas alone had to defend the entire US)

we aren’t europe: if we piss off the US we don’t have the money or population to pivot

… also the US has been involved with overturning our elected government twice

that said, we’ve been getting much closer to recognising palestinian recently

Yeah… disgustingly strong zionist lobbying in Canada…

Corbyn in the UK ten years ago had a huge groundswell of popular support that at one point looked like carrying Labour to a 1997-style landslide, until he was taken down by an organised campaign of pearl-clutchy disingenuous accusations of anti-semitism over his support for Palestine; a campaign that the neoliberals in his party were all too happy to play along with.

It's something to do with the stupid Commonwealth, not the US

I think I'm going to need a source on that one. We've had independent foreign policy for a long time.

Fingers crossed that Malta's support is what finally gets this nonsense sorted out once and for all.

Wait wait wait wait. I know I've been surprised by this map numerous times.

BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?

Also looking at this map, it seems the majority of the population of Earth recognizes it.

So in my head, that means that Palestine is 100% a nation. With sovereignty. And the US, Europe, and Australia are still "lalala i can't hear you" and "can't be a genocide if you aren't a targeted group of people that we recognize lalalalala."

BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?

Soviet Union was one of the major (if not the major) advocates for Palestine in UN. Russia still has significant connections to Palestine. For example, president of Palestine went to a victory day parade in Moscow this year.

People think we are the civilized ones when in reality we are just savages with nukes.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

we've gone completely M.A.D.

People think we are the civilized one

No one thinks that.
