Sure: terrorism works. "Australia’s Palestinian Recognition Is the Latest in a Long Line of Retreats".
France, the UK, and Canada are already lining up for similar announcements. Smaller nations have also jumped into the conversation: Malta, San Marino, and New Zealand have all indicated plans to follow suit. What's driving this momentum? Each announcement creates political cover for the next nation, giving its leaders a chance to frame their decisions as part of a growing international consensus, rather than what they actually are: Unilateral departures from prior policy.
In the past 18 months alone, Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Slovenia have formalized their recognition. Fourteen years ago, Iceland broke the seal, and almost 150 UN member states followed suit.
The Palestinian "people" are unfit for self-government, and will continue to be as long as they preach cradle-to-grave hatred of Jews and the State of Israel.
I guess we got lucky that FJB or his auto sign didn't recognize them between election day and the morning of inauguration day.
ReplyDeleteI was actually kind of worried about that.
DeleteHuh, I wonder if the Aussie aborigines are looking to form their own nation.
ReplyDeleteSpain recognized the Palestinians.
I also wonder if the Catalonians and Basque would like to have the US recognize them?
Are there any Picts still running around?
Let's play this game around the world.
That is exactly what the activist aboriginals here want, they are onboard with every Palestinian protest and fly the abo flag with the Hamas flag. It is just a front for their communist, anti colonial leanings.
DeleteFortunately most aboriginals that I know aren't that way inclined and are busy just trying to get on with life.
I saw this Youtube clip yesterday of New Zealand Maori doing the Haka in support of Israel and thought it was a pretty good thing.

I kind of regretted writing that.
DeleteI like most Aussies, all I've met in person, but your government is what happens when Californians move to Massachusetts and start voting.
I do always wonder what happened to Steve Lee, he did gun-related songs on youtube. I can't find anything by him after they started taking your guns.
Your comment was completely justified. Our idiot of a Prime Minister is an embarrassment. I feel like Sylvester the cat's son. Ahhh the shame, the shame.
DeleteI also wonder if the Catalonians and Basque would like to have the US recognize them?
ReplyDeleteA splendid idea!
I agree!
DeleteOh, yes, Hamas learned its lesson -- terrorism works.
ReplyDeleteThe West recognises, but the Middle East rejects.
