Wait wait wait wait. I know I've been surprised by this map numerous times.

BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?

Also looking at this map, it seems the majority of the population of Earth recognizes it.

So in my head, that means that Palestine is 100% a nation. With sovereignty. And the US, Europe, and Australia are still "lalala i can't hear you" and "can't be a genocide if you aren't a targeted group of people that we recognize lalalalala."

BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?

Soviet Union was one of the major (if not the major) advocates for Palestine in UN. Russia still has significant connections to Palestine. For example, president of Palestine went to a victory day parade in Moscow this year.
