The leaders of Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Malta have announced they stand ready to recognise the State of Palestine as the “only way to achieve peace and security” in the war-ridden region. #EuropeNews
How the fuck is it that most of these western countries have always said they want a 2 state solution, but also don’t recognize Palestine as a state?
Because it's kayfabe, it's larp. The two states that western governments want are an Israeli state which occupies all of the land area of Palestine and has international trade and recognition and excludes Palestinians, and then a nebulous Palestinian state with no land area and no recognition or resources.
I know it’s kayfabe, but I would think the kayfabe means you have to pretend to recognize a Palestinian state, just an inept and/or evil one that justifies the genocide.
Either “The Palestinian Authority is the legitimate state and we must defeat Hamas to put them back in charge” or “Hamas is the Palestinian state and they are a Nazi type threat, and the Palestinian state must be destroyed”
They don't even have to acknowledge a state if they just ride on the wave of declaring anything that the Palestinians create or organize as illegitimate and in need of destruction. The goal here has always been genocide, and denying any form of legitimacy to the opposition makes it all the easier to prevent that opposition from having a framework to do anything to mitigate that genocide.
