Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, meanwhile, called for immediate punishment for the Palestinian Authority and expanded settlement construction in the Occupied West Bank as a response.

This is unhinged, wanting to punish the PA for other countries recognizing Palestine.

Nations who recognise Palestine:

I miss this kind of confidence I got from cocaine

Maybe we should sanction them.

Yeah. Probably.

“Sorry best we can do is more bombs, officially define antisemitism as calling these guys assholes, and, uh, oh yeah, giving their military benefits packages!”

Russia threatened "severe consequences" for sanctions and supporting Ukraine.

Israel is not doing itself any favours threatening other countries.

So their punishment to other countries for recognising Palestine is to intensify their Palestinian genocide?

How can anyone see this and not realise that this whole thing was never about Hamas, they were just an excuse to finally get the ball rolling.

Any retaliation towards Ireland would be antihibernic

So Israel is just being a pariah of the world as usual. Nothing new.

As of now Slovenia, Spain, Norway, Ireland, Malta, Trinidad and Tobago have announced they will soon start recognizing the state of Palestine. That brings the number of countries that recognize the state of Palestine to around 150 countries out of 193 countries in the UN.

Not only that but around four fifths of the world population lives in these countries. So an overwhelming majority both in the UN and on a population scale recognize them.

With that being said, let's go Israel. Be more of a pariah than you already are. Close yourself off from all these countries. Shoot yourself in the foot.

Israel threatens 3/4 of the world. Lmao.

Fuck israel.

What's he gonna do, start a genocide in Spain? Start setting up settlements in Ireland? Get fucked bibi.

Hey Israel, China called. They want their “angry threats because someone recognized Taiwan” mode back.

So they are going with North Korea theory of foreign of relations. That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.

Palestine has a right to exist.

Israel's foreign minister Israel Katz said in a public statement that the move to recognize Palestine was a "distorted step" by the countries

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also condemned the move Wednesday and said the response from Israel would be to intensify its operations in Gaza—where the ICC chief prosecutor this week alleged war crimes by Israeli forces have taken place—even further. In his remarks, Ben-Gvir called for a "root treatment" for the city of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled but many still remain with nowhere go.

That old right-wing refrain: "Look what you made me do!"

What are they gonna do? Set up "settlements" in Ireland and Spain?

I recognise Palestine.. wish my country would too :(

"Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also condemned the move Wednesday and said **the response from Israel would be to intensify its operations in Gaza." **

That's right! We're gonna genocide harder! That'll show em whose right!

Can they just shut the fuck up already and end their war? They're just firing wildly and killing Palestinian civilians, hostage Israeli civilians, and even themselves! Occasionally they're getting a member of Hamas.

Just fucking throw in the towel and take the L. Part of me this at this point that Netanyahu is partially prolonging the war because he wants Democrats to be divided and Trump to win so he has an even friendlier US.

Why do the good die young, and the evil live forever?

The amount of sheer sense of entitlement is just mind boggling.

"Why yes, we have every intention of starting and starring in World War 3 featuring the USA as our fellow baddies, thanks for asking!"

It used to be, "Who has the biggest penis?"

Now it's, "Who's the biggest cunt?"

Israel’s final warning

I love this. "Israel invades Norway" would be such a great news story to follow.

Theyre not nearly big enough to be talking trash

Punish me. Palestine is real as fuck.

Like killing babies?
