About fucking time

And then what?

Let's say everyone in the world except the US recognizes the Palestinian state. Would that change literally anything at all?

Meanwhile, Canada continues to send weapons to Israel.

I love that everyone's recognizing it the second that 99% of the people there are going to die of starvation because its already at the point that its irreversible

Just in time for checks watch a decade or two (if not three) after any hope of a viable two state solution has been thoroughly proven impossible by the actions of the West's favorite fascist apartheid regime.

If you think that being an officially recognized country would protect Palestinians from being oppressed and massacred by Israel, I have some oceanfront condominiums in the Golan Heights to sell you.

I was gonna ask what took them so long…but then I wondered what the catch was.

Nice to know that it only takes billions of dollars worth of tariffs for the country of Canada to act ..... or 50,000 dead people that didn't have to die, as well as tens of thousands more that are near starving to death.

In addition to recognizing Palestine, all countries should drop recognition of Israel and recognise the presence of Israelis in Palestine as being illegitimate.

The Israelis will cry about anti-semitism, but I think more and more people in the world recognize this trick and are not going to buy it.

Thank God.

It won't happen , hamas with not drop arms

So I am wondering what effect does recognizing it as a state have? To me it sounds like the whole "thoughts and prayers" thing but admittedly I have no idea what it actually means.

Could some smarty pants bring me up to speed?

That came with a lot of asterisks from Carney. It's conditional. Remember that he is a Conservative wearing a Liberal hat.

"This intention is predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to much-needed reforms, including the commitments by Palestinian Authority President Abbas to fundamentally reform its governance, to hold general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state. Canada will increase its efforts in supporting strong, democratic governance in Palestine and the contributions of its people to a more peaceful and hopeful future.

We reiterate that Hamas must immediately release all hostages taken in the horrific terrorist attack of October 7; that Hamas must disarm; and that Hamas must play no role in the future governance of Palestine. Canada will always steadfastly support Israel’s existence as an independent state in the Middle East living in peace and security. Any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires a viable and stable Palestinian state, and one that recognizes Israel’s inalienable right to security and peace."

And trump wants to stop trade negotiations with Canada over this because if you don't double thumbs up a genocide, Trump won't talk to you

There is nothing uplifting about it.

This is just a delaying technique to avoid sanctioning Israel due to public pressure, meant to let Israel finish executing their "Final Solution for Gaza", by which point they will pivot to saying "it's too late now".

If you read the article you'll see this "initiative" was launched by the UK PM, the very guy who has been getting people arrested for planning to demonstrated against the Genocide, so one should be incredibly suspicious (and, being familiar with British politics, the whole thing reeks of their usual "delay meaningful action by offering vague promises of future meaningless action").

Also all 3 countries still send weapons to Israel, Canada doing in the most hypocritical of ways by having a weapons export regime that says "no" riddled with backdoors so it ends up as "yes" - yet another very common tactic in British politics which one could describe as "the contents is not what it says on the box".

This way of delaying the meaningful action being pushed by public opinion is a very common technique in British politics, and during his years there heading the Bank Of England (a very political position) Mr. Carney is sure to have learned it.

Uplifting news will when there are actual sanctions against Israel in place.

this is kinda just orphan crushing machine, why the fuck do they PLAN to recognize palestine? yeah great let's start vaguely considering it after the population has been bombed to shit and starved to death for half a fucking decade, they're so kind
