France, the UK and Canada suddenly deciding to recognise Palestine as a country in September is a smack in the face.

The UK claims it will recognise Palestine as a state unless Israel ends the crisis. Do you know how ridiculous it is to even add "unless" in that sentence?

"Hey, we're gonna recognise all the unnecessary death you've caused which we've backed for a while, unless you stop"

Is it then business as usual after more UN sanctions are broken? Why is Israel's temperament dictating your acknowledgement of a genocide? How dystopian and insulting. Nothing but a smokescreen.

American here. The media made us to understand this recognition of Palestine is predicated on PA removing Hamas(?). Not clear this is true, and, how realistic this is.

@tenente of course it isn't. Think about it, why would they now of all times, where things are beyond reproach and all laws have been broken, with millions of children being intentionally starved, would they only then want to remove the only thing they've used as an excuse for genocide? Surely they could've prevented it and recognised it well in advance? Hamas is their get out of jail card for everything. Getting rid of them will make Israel look worse than they already do because then there's no "but hamas" and only "yes we killed, starved, stole land, and restricted movement of an entire population"
