Obviously other countries can still recognize them, but being excluded from the UN precludes lots of services and agreements, and at a minimum just makes everything harder permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Palestine was authorized in 47. Its neighbours over ran it (stole the land) months later. The vote back then was done differently than the way they do things today. I’d say the shit show started then but it started long before then. And it’ll be going on long after I’m gone. Fucking religion. permalink fedilink source parent
