The joint announcement by Spain, Ireland and Norway last week triggered an angry response from Israeli authorities, which summoned the countries’ ambassadors in Tel Aviv to the Foreign Ministry, where they were filmed while being shown videos of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and abductions.
What the fuck is this?
And if you’d show Israeli diplomats videos of bombardments and deaths in Palestina, they’d break out the popcorn and start commenting it like it was a sports game.
Reeducation, only the best countries do it.
Guilt tripping.
Machiavellian
damn, the fallout from Eurovision just keeps getting more intense
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told his nation in a televised address from Madrid that “this is a historic decision that has a single goal, and that is to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace.”
“This is an important moment and I think it sends a signal to the world that there are practical actions you can take as a country to help keep the hope and destination of a two-state solution alive at a time when others are trying to sadly bomb it into oblivion,” Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said before his Cabinet meets to formally sign off on the decision.
At the same time, the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell threw his weight behind the International Criminal Court, whose prosecutor is seeking an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, including leaders of the Hamas militant group.

The Socialist leader has spent months touring European and Middle Eastern countries, including stops in Oslo and Dublin, to garner support for the recognition of a Palestinian state.
Associated Press writers Melanie Lidman in Tel Aviv, Israel, Jill Lawless in London, Jan M. Olsen in Copenhagen, Denmark and Raf Casert in Brussels contributed to this report.

It’s a one state this, two states that. I’m for a no state solution. And not just for Israel and Palestine. Just shut it all down. All the way back to agriculture. That’s where it all went wrong. Make Humanity Nomads Again
So you think dying at 20 from an infection because you cut your toe is a good thing?
Fun fact, it was quite common for people to live into their 80s in the past. The shorter life expectancy myth (1) comes with averaging age of death infant mortality, which was far higher and (2) the drop in life expectancy during industrialization.
A few thousand years ago we had a similar life expectancy and worked far less. There are other tradeoffs of course.
Can’t tell if you’re joking or not. But organized society has the potential to improve everyone’s life.
It also has the potential to send almost all the resources to absolute psychopaths and leave the rest of humanity in abject poverty
You can be organized without a state. Typically nicer, in fact.
You’d make a great dean.
