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?
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?
That’s the point, it doesn’t… condemning Israel publicly, temporarily breaking economic relationship with Israel and/or urging other to so the same would (for example)
My point is this is likely just empty talk… Imagine the major of your town saying they will increase the Fire Fighters budget in the next fiscal year as a response to your house being on fire RIGHT NOW… do you get it now?
It doesn’t, that’s the point. We don’t need them to recognize Palestine now or next month, we need them to address the genocide. End all support for Israel, and use UN forces to actually stop the genocide.
It’s still important to recognise Palestine as a state. And it doesn’t delay any other action.
It seems to me that the progress you see is not the progress you want, so you consider it pointless. But the truth is, it’s still progress, and it doesn’t take away from the other priorities you mention.
So, once again, I don’t understand your point.
And it doesn’t delay any other action.
What other actions?
What other action does this delay?
This is part of that process. France is sort of saying that they are willing to put boots on the ground to stop this, without saying exactly that.
Because being a member state of the UN comes with perks, like the ability to request UN peace keepers.

UN forces?
Forget it. There are UN forces in southern Lebanon, quite a lot actually, with the mandate to disarm hezbollah. You saw how that went - Lebanon is still kind of a failed state were hezbollah was a major armed faction with thousands of rockets until the recent war with Israel. There is a reason why the UN is not really trusted by many Israelis and I really doubt that UN peacekeepers are able to disarm Hamas in Gaza, normalize the situation and stop militant palestinians from attacking Israel. It does sound like a good solution, but TBH there is no military force in the world that is able to win such an urban guerilla war. Russia maybe by destroying everything and murdering everybody. UN forces won’t help.
OK, they don’t recognize them State anymore. You got your fucking wish.
Ah well, guess they better not do it until they can invent a time machine, then.
They didn’t do it, he just said they will.
They are trying to cover their assess from the accountability of being complicit with the genocide the whole time, they are counting on people like you to let them get away with it.
What does recognize Palestinian state mean? They’ll give us what’s left of the rubble in Gaza and the few ghettos they allow us to call the Palestinian territory in the West Bank?
Is there anything proposed that will actually give Palestinians any semblance of justice?

So one side that proves in front of cameras it will bomb entire city, use food as a war weapon, bomb multiple countries in the region for no valid reason, have a mandatory inscription, will have unlimited military aid, while the other will have no military ability, and we expect to believe this will work out?
Sure it is a good start, but fuck you have to see a genocide for no reason to do bare minimum is insane.
just so they can pretend to have a moral standing? Yes
Took fucking long enough
Good. Now let’s recognize it everywhere else and stop recognizing israel.
This. Normally, it’s the Messiah who is supposed to announce the creation of Israel, and I still haven’t seen that. And there’s nothing in the texts to indicate that Israel should be in Palestine; it could just as easily be on the surface of the sun.
Not good at all. No mention of Palestine living in security like Israel. 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
IMO Israel forfeited their right to a 2-state solution. They should not be recognized as a sovereign state because they’re foreign occupiers.
israel. should. not. exist.
In France, they repressed palestinian strike, canceled meeting and media defended Israel, he told us he won’t arrest Netanyahu, despiste the CPI decision. There is so many things wrong.
Even if he does it, i don’t trust him, he could act long before.
As tens of thousands of Gazans starve to death this week…
HOLY SHIT FINALLY
Send troops to stop the fucking genocide!
But does that mean they’ll recognize the genocide?
It’s like saying they’ll recognize the house but won’t acknowledge that it’s on fire.
It’s a step at least. If Palestine is recognized as a state, then it’s no longer an “internal affair” that Israel is engaged with, but instead against another sovereign state that has the right to defend itself and freely negotiate with other nations for aid and support.
It’s just gaslighting and fooling people.
Palestinians already has the right to defense based on UN general assembly 37/43, un general assembly resolution 2625 and Article 1(4) of the Geneva Protocol I. Even
If you read the official document written to Traitor and Israeli asset Abbass you will see that it talk about right to Israel to live in security but not for Palestinians, they ask to demilitarize all Palestine without any security guarantees and a vow to stop the occupation .
We all know that the USA will never allow Palestine to be recognized anyway. Even it does, countries don’t have to wait for Palestine to be recognized to do their obligation and sanctions Israel state wide and stop any military collaboration since they signed genocide and Geneva conventions
The USA and Israel will always try to stop any aid and support to reach Palestinians
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
Unironically, admitting Israel, Palestine and Lebanon into the European Union might actually be the solution to this whole fucking clusterfuck.
Edit: major major reforms should take place of course, and Israel should dismantle apartheid and pay reparations, while Lebanon should dismantle the sectarian dysfunction of their government, but as a long term horizon this region needs the wildly successful EU model of peaceful pacification more than any other region in the world.
Unironically, admitting Israel, Palestine and Lebanon into the European Union might actually be the solution to this whole fucking clusterfuck.
Only if the EU disarms Israel and restores the '47 border in the process, then prosecute the IDF leadership for war crimes.
Otherwise, you might as well suggest we admit Ukraine and Russia to the EU to settle that fight as well.
Membership requires that candidate country has achieved stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights, respect for and protection of minorities, […].
Yeah, that’s not going to happen.
There is only one solution to a Fascist state like Israel and that is dismantling its entire government.
The EU struggles enough with keeping Hungary and Poland in line. Now imagine taking on countries that have been at war (or at least a cold war) for three quarters of a century.
Oh so the French are anti semites now?
/S
“will”
Absolutely love this. Again, its time for the EU to step up its international politics game, and this is exactly how you do it

In April he teased that they might recognize Palestine in June. What’s the hold up? https://www.arabprogress.org/en/macron-and-the-recognition-of-a-palestinian-state-the-stated-position-and-its-prospects/
they had to discuss more with israel and traitors to have a strong plan to demilitarize Palestinians while giving zero guarantees that Israel will end occupation
Cool in theory, but what are the Palestinian states borders? Its government?
Will they? When? Before or after the genocide is complete?
