Fingers crossed that Malta's support is what finally gets this nonsense sorted out once and for all.

Wait wait wait wait. I know I've been surprised by this map numerous times.

BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?

Also looking at this map, it seems the majority of the population of Earth recognizes it.

So in my head, that means that Palestine is 100% a nation. With sovereignty. And the US, Europe, and Australia are still "lalala i can't hear you" and "can't be a genocide if you aren't a targeted group of people that we recognize lalalalala."

BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?

Soviet Union was one of the major (if not the major) advocates for Palestine in UN. Russia still has significant connections to Palestine. For example, president of Palestine went to a victory day parade in Moscow this year.

that's not just in your head, that's the awful reality we live in

Back when they were a communist nation, they and most other communist/aligned countries recognized them.

Commies are cool, as it turns out.

[-] [email protected] -5 points 6 days ago

Commies are just as bad as Nazis.

That's the truth. It's a failed murderous ideology that killed tens of millions in a few short decades and brought nothing but poverty, tyranny, death, and destruction everywhere it went. It's flawed in both theory and practice, which is why it collapsed. All the modern day Marxists literally cannot defend this shitty ideology on it's own merits. Their worldview is supported entirely on lies, fallacies, and willful ignorance.

You can downvote and seethe all you want, won't change the reality one bit.

Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.

Funny how the only "good communists" to liberals are the ones that fail and die.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

And yet the entire USSR failed and died massively anyway?

[-] [email protected] -3 points 6 days ago

Accomplished infinitely more than the dead failures you endorse. Almost like liberals think the only good communist is a dead communist 🤔

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

But USSR is dead. How is that accomplishment?

[-] [email protected] -2 points 6 days ago

Oh, but he Kronstadt sailors aren't?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They died with principle and honour. And how did USSR die and remembered for if you think they are so great and infallible?

[-] [email protected] -2 points 6 days ago

And they're entirely right

People think we are the civilized ones when in reality we are just savages with nukes.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

No one thinks that.

we've gone completely M.A.D.

The worst part of this map is that they use a different shade of green in the key to the one they use in the map. /s

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Why did you have to point this out

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious. I can't not see it.

Myanmar seems like an odd gap. A quick search just seems to say Myanmar and Israel have a long diplomatic history and some minor arms sales?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah Israel is one of half a dozen countries that continued to deal arms to Myanmar after the Rohingya Genocide.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well Myanmar is run by a military dictatorship that murders, disappears and tortures civillians, and has an ongoing public resistance against it since a few years.

When Iran was ruled by the Shah Israel were best buddies and help arm and train his army and intelligence. Guess what they did: murder, disappear and torture tens of thousands of civillians.

When South Africa was still an Apartheid state, Israel was also good friends with them. Guess what they did...

Canada, Greenland, Australia, and Japan should totally recognize Palestine. It's not like they need to keep pleasing the US now that it's actively spitting in their face.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Greenland has to abide by Danish policy for foreign relations as its part of the Danish crown. Denmark should recognise it though.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

honestly australia is kinda between a rock and a hard place … we have to ride the line between US and china because we’re hugely strategic to china with all our raw resources, with little to no ability to actually defend ourselves because we have such a huge land mass and tiny population (we’re about the size of the US in land mass with a population slightly smaller than texas: imagine if texas alone had to defend the entire US)

we aren’t europe: if we piss off the US we don’t have the money or population to pivot

… also the US has been involved with overturning our elected government twice

that said, we’ve been getting much closer to recognising palestinian recently

.....and Aotearoa/New Zealand falls off the map again. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

TIL of Aotearoa, thanks for sharing. That's a bad-ass name, NZ should switch back to that.

I'm surprised that there's so many countries who recognize Palestine. Is this a recent development?

[-] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago

no, the communist bloc and non-aligned countries recognised palestine in opposition to the western bloc's support of israel, right when palestine declared its independence in 1988

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

Ireland (and norway iirc) only recognised palestine recently.
