Canada, Greenland, Australia, and Japan should totally recognize Palestine. It's not like they need to keep pleasing the US now that it's actively spitting in their face.
Greenland has to abide by Danish policy for foreign relations as its part of the Danish crown. Denmark should recognise it though.
honestly australia is kinda between a rock and a hard place … we have to ride the line between US and china because we’re hugely strategic to china with all our raw resources, with little to no ability to actually defend ourselves because we have such a huge land mass and tiny population (we’re about the size of the US in land mass with a population slightly smaller than texas: imagine if texas alone had to defend the entire US)
we aren’t europe: if we piss off the US we don’t have the money or population to pivot
… also the US has been involved with overturning our elected government twice
that said, we’ve been getting much closer to recognising palestinian recently

yes pls
Yeah… disgustingly strong zionist lobbying in Canada…
Corbyn in the UK ten years ago had a huge groundswell of popular support that at one point looked like carrying Labour to a 1997-style landslide, until he was taken down by an organised campaign of pearl-clutchy disingenuous accusations of anti-semitism over his support for Palestine; a campaign that the neoliberals in his party were all too happy to play along with.
It's something to do with the stupid Commonwealth, not the US
I think I'm going to need a source on that one. We've had independent foreign policy for a long time.
Nobody in the west really give a single fucking shit about Palestine, it has nothing to do with us and we dont want nothing to do with it. Keep it on the other side of the sea.
half true
not true, Zionism was originally a Christian ideology that originated in Europe and the founders of Israel and its leadership to this day are majority European Jews and see Israel as an extension of Western Civilization
What absolute nonsense
