A French and Saudi-chaired UN conference will be held in June in order to resurrect the idea of a two-state solution

Israel has issued a threat to France and the UK that any moves to recognize a Palestinian state will see Tel Aviv annex parts of the occupied West Bank in response, according to a 26 May report by Haaretz.

If you do that, I'll do what I planned to do from the beginning but quicker and I'll blame you for it.

[-] match@pawb.social 15 points 4 months ago

Surely appeasement will work this time

Israel to annex parts of West Bank if Europe doesn't move to recognize Palestine, too

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 68 points 4 months ago

“to annex”? what have they been doing for literal decades?

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I guess it means "full mask off". Wait, that's what they've been doing for the past years anyhow. Hmmm.

Also how would that be retaliation against France and the UK? It's like any tough movie criminal's favorite trick: I will torture not you, but this person you feel for until you give me what I want!

But seriously, my octogenarian parents would probably gobble it up and blame anybody who recognizes Palestine for being too confrontational, thus making lasting peace impossible. I kid you not.

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

yeah. it’s fucking sad the amount of zionist rhetoric stuck in folks like that. i mean to be “fair”* they were like 10 when israel “became” a “state.”

  • fair would be that they grew up watching zionists do a genocide and be against it TODAY. but noooooo the “greatest generation” and their boomer kids are straight assholes.

I wonder how much of it is (dis)information warfare. I'm glad these things are coming to broader attention now, but it's probably been happening right from the start.

Also Germans. They can hardly start accusing Israel of genocide, even today.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Occupying it. Meaning that Palestinians living there could not vote, and were subject to martial law. At the same time Israel administered things such as building permits which means that Israel could "legally" demolish "illegal" buildings.

I highly doubt they're going to annex anything that's full of Palestinians, not while the Kahanites are in power they're way too much into the whole ethno-state thing to do that.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Palestinians in Jerusalem are many on a permanent residency visa which doesn't allow them to vote.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

And presumably the terms of the permit allow Israel to kick them out at their heart's content.

I gotta be honest Jerusalem is a thing I was overlooking but I still don't think Kahanites would be willing to do that. Some kind of compromise to be able to say that Jerusalem is (fully) Israel, one thing, but the west bank? It's just land. They don't want the people living there they'll either not take it, or take it without the people, no matter how disenfranchised.

I suppose this is more about annexing the illegal settlements. Ones which already have sky-high walls around them.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, whatever they do it's going to benefit settlers and not the Palestinians, that's pretty much guaranteed with the current government.

[-] klao@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I highly doubt they’re going to annex anything that’s full of Palestinians

Makes sense, that's why they are flattening those places with bomb first and/or raiding

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 37 points 4 months ago

Will annex if recognised, will annex if not recognised

Man, this shit has been going on for a hundred years...

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago

It's the Putin strategy of "stop forcing me to colonize you!"

[-] SattaRIP 35 points 4 months ago

Wtf kind if threat is this? They were gonna try doing that anyway. It's never the oppressor's fault that they commit genocide, only the victims. Someone unironically said it's that doctor's fault her kids died because she chose to have so many. Anything to justify manmade horrors beyond human comprehension. Even a tiny bit of plausible deniabilty is what Isn'treal is trying to squeeze out. Keep the genocide going just a bit longer so Netenyahu can stay in office and not get arrested

I wish fascists would skip to their inevitable end.

“Israel threatens to become more evil if european countries point out how evil they are”

[-] Kentifer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

At this point, it's a recurring headline.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 22 points 4 months ago

Can we start delivering those 2,000lb. bombs that the U.S. gives to Israel one by one, to Netanyahu's house, by airmail?

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

"I'm doing a genocide, but it is this other unrelated dude's fault"

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 14 points 4 months ago

They already control the whole west bank . This will only make that official

Don't interfere or I won't stop!

What kind of threat is that...

Lol, jk.

Some of us used to scoff at the idea of some people lying awake in bed, thinking up ways to be more horrible human beings.
