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.

    Recognition just means formally acknowledging that a government exists, it does not imply any sort of cooperation.

    For instance, the US recognizes North Korea and Iran but doesn’t cooperate with them, quite the opposite.

      Allowing a genocide to continue and allowing Israel to invade and occupy that country they formally acknowledge exists, completely removing the government and taking it over as Israeli territory is a hell of a lot more than just refusing to cooperate.

      But if all you care about is some performative political bullshit, I guess that’s fine. I care about complicity in genocide and the destruction of a nation.

        I care about accurately summarizing what the OP is about, and it’s about countries that recognize Palestine. It has nothing to do with countries that support or even care the slightest about Palestinians.

            It sounds like your problem is with the OP, which says 146 countries engage in performative bullshit.

              Problem? You apparently didn’t read what I wrote, so I’ll paste it a third time and I’ll even be helpful and bold the part you missed. Twice.

              But if all you care about is some performative political bullshit, I guess that’s fine.

              And to help you even more, I’ll make it super big:

              I GUESS THAT’S FINE

                Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.

                Then we agree. It’s fine. Most countries don’t consider Palestine to be their problem, so performative bullshit is the most they can muster.
