when?? after every Palestinian has starved to death? just so they can pretend to have a moral standing?
At the next UN assembly. It says right there in the article.
Basically France now recognises the State of Palestine, and will make it official at the UN assembly.
it was rethorical… thousands more will starve by September
Recognising the state of Palestine in over a month doesn’t change the urgency to let aid reach Palestinians. Of course work on that front must be done as well, and sooner than September.
I just don’t understand your point. How does officially recognising the statehood of Palestine now or in a month affect the current starvation crisis?
Don’t get fooled . There is no mention of Palestine right to security and self defense. He ask for Palestinians to be completely demilitarized before having real assurance that Israel will end occupation completely , there is no mention of how the two state solution would be accomplished and what will happen if Israel refuses
“will”
Good. Now let’s recognize it everywhere else and stop recognizing israel.
Not recognizing states that obviously exist is extremely silly.
Yeah. exactly why Palestine should be recognized. israel is, however, a european invention and terrorist colony.
The first part applies to… Most of the world outside of Europe?
The second part applies, to lesser degrees, to a large part of the world. Such as the USA.
What even is this argument. Israel’s not a state? Well fucking great, so following that logic which state should we hold responsible for Israel’s crimes then?
Europe’s colonial past is a whole-ass subject but amongst all the potential ways to try to make up for it, “stop formally recognizing former colonies because we fucked it up too badly” is one of the worst takes I’ve heard.
The second part applies, to lesser degrees, to a large part of the world. Such as the USA.

Why? Do you actually believe states have rights?
States are invented, lines are drawn on maps and people are divided by elites, it’s silly to insist that a genocidal ethno state should simple continue to exist because it already exists.
We don’t want a two state solution, we want one state where everyone is treated equally regardless of religion.
No, I’d rather see them abolished. But they do exist, and allowing the US or Europe to decide which ones are acknowledged is a big problem in today’s world.
People who exercise their own autonomy should have that autonomy acknowledged. Full stop. Pretending it doesn’t exist is harmful, even if that autonomy is being used to hurt people.
Israel may have been a mistake in 1947 but there is no point in not recognizing them. They are there, they exist, you can’t undo what happened in 47.
Of course we can. We can stop funding them financially and militarily, we can stop doing business with them, and we can refuse their citizens travel, until they stop genocide and end apartheid.
You’re pretending like this isn’t common place already, it’s just unfathomable that it can happen to Israel for some reason?
That has nothing to do with “stop recognizing them as a country” and the west loses more by not allowing citizens travel (because people wouldn’t be able to go to holy sites, it works both way).
And man, the EU can’t even properly sanction Russia, do you really think they care about the middle east at all? Specially when not even the countries around care about Palestina.
Cool, now pay reparations to Haiti.
Are you out of touch?
Since France has at no point paid reparations to Haiti to my knowledge, no I don’t think so.
Are you talking about Napaleon? I genuinely do not understand what century are you living in, because modern France never invaded Haiti and houthis are not legal body of Haiti.
I get your point, but also, Haiti’s final payment to France was in 1947
Except they paid to United States, not France.
government of the United States funded the acquisition of Haiti’s treasury in 1911,[10] and in 1922, the rest of Haiti’s debt was moved to be paid to American investors.[11] The New York Times states that it took until 1947 for Haiti to finally pay off all the associated interest to the National City Bank of New York (now Citibank).
Huh, so you just don’t know the history. Fair enough. Here’s the Wikipedia article on the heinous debt that France forced Haiti to pay - at literal gunpoint - for daring to free themselves from slavery and French Colonial rule. They pulled all sorts of scummy tricks, like forcing them to use French banks and to take out loans to pay the debt, which of course resulted in more debt. It took over a century for the debt to be paid, and was a transfer of a huge part of the wealth of the entire country directly to the French rich (at some points this constituted FORTY PERCENT of the total income of the country). It severely impacted the development of Haiti over the last two centuries, and is widely held to be directly responsible for the poverty Haiti now experiences.
Are you challenged? How do you think this happened? Haiti revolution and slavery is literally part of napoleonic wars that I mentioned, but you started saying I don’t know history. How do you seemingly know stuff about Haiti, yet don’t know this? Countries usually don’t see something that happened a century or two ago relevant to modern times
Please, read the wiki link you sent me, but obviously failed to read it yourself, especially the part about who owned the debt after ±1900 (forgot the year, but Haiti’s debt was transferred to be paid to US, not France).
