    Are they giving Isreal a deadline to complete their genocide?

    By September, there won’t be much of a Palestine left to recognize.

    So if Israel stops genociding Palestinians, the UK won’t recognize them as a state.

    If it continues the genocide, the UK will recognize them as a state.

    “UK warns Israel, if they don’t stop what they’re doing, the UK might do something in two months time”

    The most bullshitty piece of bullshit I’ve ever heard.

    We’re gonna make this totally symbolic gesture that means nothing unless you stop being evil. Oh, wait. Evil people don’t give a flying fuck about empty gestures. Aw, shucks.

      I dunno, I found it pretty goofy that the government is threatening to recognize a country as a punitive measure against another.

        yhea, it makes no sense, “Recognising Palestine” is like recognising the existence of water.

        not doing so is straight up denying reality.

      Idk man/woman/compadre,.when I saw it I legitimately thought it was satire. It was both the weird condition and also a general sense of “no way”.

        It is kind of incredible that UK would even consider saying they might do something like this eventually.

      “Country A threatens that if Country B doesn’t do what they want they’ll recognize C as a country” kinda sounds Onion funny to me
