Sunday, September 21, 2025

The United Kingdom, Canada and Australia officially recognized Palestine as a state on Sunday, marking a significant shift in foreign policy and a step away from their alignment with the United States, with several other European nations and U.S. allies set to follow suit this week.

The U.K.'s recognition is part of a wider shift among U.S. allies, bringing them closer to the more than 140 out of 193, U.N. member states that have already recognized Palestine as a state.

Recognition is an overdue step. Maybe it can help some people.

United Kingdom, Canada and Australia Are no longer to be officially recognized as countries by Trumpy.

In fact, just for that Trumpy is gonna change the name of those countries to Bangaland, America Jr, and Aushucksia.

Seeeeeeee! This is the kind of thought pattern that just proves how stupid, ignorant you are and explains your paranoia!

Canada and Australia fought with us in Afghanistan.
Canada and Mexico helped extract us from the ------- of OPEC... republicl0wns keep putting us back and lining their pockets.

All three countries have had relationships with the rest of the world since the rest of the world traveled to them centuries ago... and managed to exist... regardless of our status

The US blew off the Trans-Pacific Partnership a decade ago because of Trumpanzee... ergo... the US reliability is questionable... so who gives a flippin frappe about what we think anymore?

9/11 we were attacked... and lost the war against our attackers... in fact... sold our largest red state oil refinery to those who financed our attackers...

What are we supposed to be defending them against?

On one hand, this sends a terrible message that engaging in certain types of tactics will be rewarded with statehood. On the other hand, Netanyahu and his government pretty much made this inevitable with their own tactics. I would say a pox on all extremists' houses, except they're already poxed.

Will they adopt the Hamas Preamble?

FTW, the Hamas preamble begins with something along the lines of, "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it"

Oof. mango Mussolini is gonna get his thumbs sore typing on Lies Social over THIS.

What's Trump going to do, raise the tariffs on goods from these countries to 50% - 100%?

Inevitable, given the electoral politics. Not to mention what the Muslim "religion of peace" will do to those nations that don't come to heel.

Good thing the Jews have Israel, because the Muslims will do to them in Europe and elsewhere what they did to them in the Middle East over the last 1,400 years of their Islamic colonization.

Moslems have explicit plans for world domination under shariah law. Support them at your own risk.
Aside from that, genocide bad. Synagogue of Satan bad. Xtian golem bad.

Islam is not in the pocket of Western Finance.

Shia Islam anyway. They aren't part of the Bankers Club.

Being sanctioned has made Iran Resilient.

Israel is the point of the Spear. They do what the Western Alliance wants to but can't openly espouse.

Watch the Money. Who gets it. Who Doesn't.

Palestine will Die for Greater Israel. There's no Morality about it.

Just Cash.

See who profits. That will tell you what's happening.

"Will they adopt the Hamas Preamble?"

I was listening to the French representative outline why recognition was necessary, and a key part of that recognition is the elimination of Hamas and other groups devoted to the destruction of Israel. The logic in my mind was still a bit far-fetched IMO. It would rely on armed Palestinian forces to disarm and dissolve the Hamas organization. I would put the Palestinian authority in charge of Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority doesn't seem to be very popular or competent, and I don't know how many Gazans are ready to make peace with their Israeli neighbors.

I'm still not a total believer, but the blueprint makes a lot of sense if you can build something with it.

Of course it's illegal. But inciting a stampede on Congress, taking daily dumps on the Constitution and evading all kinds of taxes deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
