Palestinian recognition in the UN is entirely a protest against the US, it always has been. Pissed off at the US? Officially recognize Palestine, that’ll show them!
But the reality is that Palestine isn’t a viable state. Generally when countries “recognize” Palestine they recognize the unelected Fatah government of the West Bank, which is currently under occupation by Israel. Nobody is recognizing the terrorist Hamas regime in Gaza because, well, they’re genocidal terrorists.
So some country recognizes the unelected government of an occupied territory while ignoring the elected (albeit nearly two decades ago) terrorist government of the unoccupied (though not as unoccupied as it was six months ago)? Purely performative bullshit which should be vetoed.
Maybe if Palestinians can elect a party that doesn’t have a genocidal intent there could be broad support for an officially recognized state. But no one that hasn’t been warped by TikTok propaganda is going to recognize a country that has it’s occupied territory run by a corrupt government while it’s “free” territory is run by genocidal terrorists.
Come on children, look at this like an adult who understands basic foreign policy.
