The State of Palestine is recognised as a sovereign nation by 146 countries, representing 75 percent of UN members.

None of the G7 countries – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom or the United States – do.

    The very idea that some groups of people are arbitrarily “recognized” and accorded extra privileges by the powerful and others are not is offensive to me.

      Wait until you find-out about “recognized” evidence vs “not scientifically valid” evidence…

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_blob

      To me that’s Greenland icemelt water, which, being freshwater, & therefore less-dense than salt-water, forms a skimcoat on the North Atlantic.

      To the Consensus Science Establishment, it’s hogwash to claim so, because they haven’t authorized that to be scientifically valid.

      What ELSE could have produced it, except icemelt??

      Morons…

      Here’s some climate-scientists admitting that NONE of their climate-models have included Greenland icemelt until 2024,

      & that when you include that, then the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current … visibly has been shutting-down since 1950 or so.

      https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01568-1

      This-decade, they expect that there will be more than a MILLION FEWER CUBIC-KILOMETRES of water flowing through AMOC, than in the 1940-1950 decade.

      Thanks to “only the Authorized speak Valid Science” paradigm, then worthless people like us, who insist that not-only is The Cold Blob climate-significant, it’s ecologically significant, as it’s got to be poisoning all zooplankton who get caught in it ( due to its low-salt ), thus trashing part of the ecology of a HUGE area of our planet…

      our stating-the-fucking-obvious is nonvalid.


      My religion’s Empiricism: it doesn’t matter “who” you are: IF it’s true, THEN it’s true.

      You can be a homeless person with no highschool, you can be a many-times-degreed person with a Nobel Prize, & IF it tests-to-be-true, THEN it tests-to-be-true.

      Consensus “Science” is Scientism: it works by holding that itself is valid, & all outside itself isn’t.

      This “Consensus Science” ignored huge, important evidence, until it was too-late.

      7 decades too late, in AMOC’s case.

      at 2C warmer it’ll be 33% shut-down.

      England’s going to be having Canadian climate, this-century.

      Kiss their food-growing-capacity for their traditional crops, goodbye.


      The real problem is that the proper paradigm is Empiricism, but then you have to decide on each piece of evidence/information,

      & to do that, you have to have people who decide…

      Establishment defaults to deciding that itself is valid, & outsiders are nonvalid.

      Empiricism has to do differently, but that takes more energy, more work, more integrity, etc, & therefore is more-fragile…

      Which is why establishment-self-importance has such an easy time displacing integrity from our world…

      It could be done, but would require a systems-of-systems approach to identifying validity in scientific evidence…


      Now try mapping that from science to populations:

      What are the criteria for “a valid people”?

      What are the criteria for “right to self-govern”?

      Do you see how no matter who decides, others are offended by that specific decision?

      How the upright will decide things 1 way, but the machiavellian-psychopaths will decide in fundamentally-different ways, consistently?

      Do you see how IF you decide to do The Right Thing, now there are very-heavily-armed-thugs who will murder one’s family & self, in order to prevent one from “infringing on the mafia’s turf”, to remap the international-politics onto organized-crime?

      It isn’t politically-possible to Do The Right Thing, & survive having done that, right?

      Therefore, one tries to find what compromise … one can live-with, for now …

      & … then one finds one is trapped in multiple abusive-relationships, & can’t get out, without making things even worse

      & this is approximately the current-situation of every country ( with uprightness ) in the world.

      IT ISN’T POSSIBLE TO WIN.

      It only is possible to lose-less, if one is careful, in this world-game…

        The percentage was at 64% when I checked it. Why would anybody downvote stats about a Palestinian state anyway?

              When you initially said were getting “infiltrated by Zionists,” there were 4 downvotes. Now there are 11.

              There is no infiltration.

                  “Infiltration” sure implies a lot. If you just meant that there are a handful of Zionists here, I’m not sure why that’s even a little surprising. There’s no rule here that you can’t support Israel even if it isn’t the right thing to do.

    You’ll be surprised by how many Arab countries, actually don’t recognize Palestine ( with their actions ) ( e.g. Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia… And the list goes on )

        They said with their actions.

        Like Egypt cooperating with Israel on keeping the border with Gaza closed before Israel invaded.

        Friend, a lot has happened from 1988, leadership changed, governments overthrown and/or overtaken, plots twisted, laws have been rewritten and other introduced, I’m talking within those countries…

        take Algeria for example they recently had their presidential election, their (S)elected president promised them that he’ll build 3 hospitals in Gaza in less than 20 days ( he never did, and will never do )

        Morocco just like Algeria is having Secret deals with the Israeli government, such as buying their Pegasus spyware

        It seems like these governments are just using Palestinian cause to stay in power, they don’t care

        I’m not talking about recognition that’s written on a piece of paper, I’m talking about actions

      I mean not denying their (our) responsibility, but that’s mostly because they’re bought and paid for by the US.
