Are they giving Isreal a deadline to complete their genocide?
By September, there won't be much of a Palestine left to recognize.
Frankly I'm surprised there's anything left now, late last year I was saying Gaza would be razed by Easter
Gaza pretty much has been razed; Gazans are only holding on by sheer force of will.
So if Israel stops genociding Palestinians, the UK won’t recognize them as a state.
If it continues the genocide, the UK will recognize them as a state.
😵💫
"UK warns Israel, if they don't stop what they're doing, the UK might do something in two months time"
The most bullshitty piece of bullshit I've ever heard.
translation:
hurry up and kill them all before we symbolically do something that has no consequences at all.
SEPTEMBER?! What's wrong with now?
Isn't the UN vote in September
We’re gonna make this totally symbolic gesture that means nothing unless you stop being evil. Oh, wait. Evil people don’t give a flying fuck about empty gestures. Aw, shucks.
how does this fit the community?
I dunno, I found it pretty goofy that the government is threatening to recognize a country as a punitive measure against another.
yhea, it makes no sense, "Recognising Palestine" is like recognising the existence of water.
not doing so is straight up denying reality.
"Country A threatens that if Country B doesn't do what they want they'll recognize C as a country" kinda sounds Onion funny to me
Oh, it definitely is.
It's a lot more bleak than most Onion headlines, but it fits.
Idk man/woman/compadre,.when I saw it I legitimately thought it was satire. It was both the weird condition and also a general sense of "no way".
It is kind of incredible that UK would even consider saying they might do something like this eventually.
I guess there won’t be any Palestine left, so the whole recognition thing is moot as.
plus the idea that the country might be gone in two months
It's the most luke warm response to starving children from the most luke warm leader of a major country
what kind of a logic is this?
So if they nuke Gaza in August...
There'll be a good time to start on the next country.
