Spain, Ireland, Slovenia & Malta 'ready' to recognise Palestine

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez suggested that the fact the four leaders represented all sides of the political spectrum - with Spain and Malta governed by centre-left parties, Slovenia by a Liberal party, and Ireland by a centre-right party - showed there was broad political consensus that the recognition of Palestine is necessary for any future peace process.

Although the European Union supports the so-called two-state solution - which would deliver statehood for Palestinians - and is the single biggest donor of aid to Palestinians, it has not yet unanimously backed the recognition of a Palestinian state.

PhlubbaDubba,

The two state solution has been broken beyond all repair at this point.

To pursue it now is to reservationize the Palestinian people, the state of Israel has to be replaced with a Levantine Confederation that grants equal voting rights to everyone in its borders, except the west bank settlers because fuck all of them sideways with a running and rusted chainsaw.

tryptaminev,

There will be no two state solution, waiting for Israel to come back to the negotiation table. Israel has jeopardized any process towards a peaceful solution since Yitzak Rabin was murdered by a Likud fanatic.

This is the only way we can move forward. The world needs to recognise Palestine without waiting for the US and Israel. This is the only way to bring peace and safety to Palestinians and Israelis alike.

MrMakabar,

Most of the world recognizes Palestine. It is really the Western Europe, North America and some other close Western allies which do not. So it will not stop Israel. The way to do that is by force. The good part is that the West is changing its mind on the topic a bit. It also seems like Bibi might not get reelected.

nivenkos,

How can they recognise a terrorist state which is literally holding innocent Israelis hostage at this very moment?

The EU should stop all aid and focus on our countries IMO. We have sky-high inflation and interest rates, what money is there to give away? Especially to religious extremists and terrorists who then attack our own nations and allies?

FarraigePlaisteach,

By that logic they shouldn’t recognise Israel either.

Or China, the U.S., Russia…

Suddenly there’s a lot of free land out there!

Squizzy,

I’d support hamas if Israel was murdering my children, raping my people and stealing my land.

Hamas != Palestine.

Israel has been terrorizing Palestine for decades, of course they’re gonna fight back.

By your logic, Ukraine would be terrorists as well. Oh shit, sorry, wrong colour of skin, my bad.

nivenkos,

Almost all of them support Hamas though, even in the West Bank.

In fact, it’s extremely likely that Hamas (or some off-shoot) will soon end up as the government there too.

Why would Ukraine be terrorists? It’s not like they entered Russia taken civilians hostage and committed mass rape and murder in a day of rampage against civilians. That is what Hamas did, that is what the Palestinians mostly support.

Zirconium,

Why would people living in a prison support the only people promising freedom?

You’re equating Hamas with Palestine. That is not smart.
