Sorry to be a downer, but the UN General Assembly resolutions and votes are non-binding. The UNGA also voted to condemn the US invasion of Iraq and Russian invasion of Ukraine, and yet the aggressors were not sanctioned or reprimanded.

and so is ukraine, but no one is really helping them either.

I’m very disappointed in Antarctica for their narrow minded views on the world.

To be fair, I don't think the penguins recognize anyone's sovereignty.

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not even the emperor penguins?

ESPECIALLY the Emperor Penguins.

Nope. Emperor penguins think all land belongs to them.

It's been the biggest supporter of Israel from the beginning. The US support is just a distraction from where the true power comes from

I have seen that most of the opposition has come together to threaten the governing coalition with a vote of no confidence if they don't do it soon, and that only about half of the coalition opposes it, so hopefully we will see a change of course soon. Disclaimer thoigh that I am not Finnish and don't particularly follow Finnish politics, so I might be missing context

Come on NZ, get it together! You're even on this map and all.

They’ve been talking about it for what feels like months now.

But we’ve got a conservative three headed snake running our government at the moment.

We’re not allowed nice things. Just shit like austerity to pay for retroactive tax cuts for landlords.

Well fuck...

Yet this is the great diplomatic Master stroke of our left of center governments in the West. Meanwhile the final solution continues unabated, abetted by weapons still flowing from those Western countries.

Anything short of sending their Navy and Military to land food on the beach and physically defend handing it out is bullshit at this point.

besides doing this, why not cut off the aid to the country, or threaten to israel.

What's the deal with Czechia and Hungary?

[–] guy@piefed.social 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Well Hungary with Orban running the show doesn't like muslims so that's maybe not so shocking

Disputed recognitions.

Czechoslovakia recognised Palestine, and both successors said they would carry on international legal stuff from Czechoslovakia. However, the Czech government now says that Czechoslovakia never formally recognised Palestine. I don't know how meaningful that claim is or what it's based on. Slovakia independently reaffirmed the recognition shortly after the two split

Hungary's case is just that communist Hungary recognised Palestine and Orban's government is mad about it (though apparently not mad enough to formally retract the recognition)
