    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.”

      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.

      Back when they were a communist nation, they and most other communist/aligned countries recognized them.

      Commies are cool, as it turns out.

        Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.

        Commies are just as bad as Nazis.

        That’s the truth. It’s a failed murderous ideology that killed tens of millions in a few short decades and brought nothing but poverty, tyranny, death, and destruction everywhere it went. It’s flawed in both theory and practice, which is why it collapsed. All the modern day Marxists literally cannot defend this shitty ideology on it’s own merits. Their worldview is supported entirely on lies, fallacies, and willful ignorance.

        You can downvote and seethe all you want, won’t change the reality one bit.

    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.

      Nobody in the west really give a single fucking shit about Palestine, it has nothing to do with us and we dont want nothing to do with it. Keep it on the other side of the sea.

        half true

        it has nothing to do with us

        not true, Zionism was originally a Christian ideology that originated in Europe and the founders of Israel and its leadership to this day are majority European Jews and see Israel as an extension of Western Civilization

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