From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
***Edit: Context was added. Original text was just the first half.
Both groups use this slogan. You may want to add context when you use it.
Thats actually true fair point
I found out the hard way. Just trying to pay it forward.
For context Likud was the first party that dethroned the so-called "labor" party in 1977. Prior to that the "labor" party would always lead the regime. The liKKKud platform at the time had as its first point:
a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.

The destruction of the palestinian people was always part of their plan.
woah calm down there
They got a timeout period for engaging in unnecessary hostility.

A white night would be a truly terrifying sight.
They use the word "will" a lot in that article and "caveats" a few times. So perhaps Belgium will make it to onto that list but with some caveats.
The caveats seem to be around the administrative stuff, like setting up an embassy. Being afaict the first western country to put any noteworthy sanctions on Israel deserves a place at the top of the list, IMO.
The Belgian foreign minister, however, said the recognition would only be formalised once the last captive has been released from Gaza and โHamas no longer has any role in managing Palestineโ.
Those are caveats.
Israel will face 12 sanctions from Belgium
That's promising, but there is that word "will" again. So perhaps they "will" earn a place on that list but not yet.
Belgian here.
The corrupted socialist party have been surprisingly strong on the matter. The rest of them are willing to give lip service, but they don't care much about genocide victims.
On the street though most people are against genocide
