Israel is an illegitimate settler colony that never should have been ceded UN recognition

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 7 points 2 hours ago

that never should have been ceded UN recognition

Just a slight addendum: never should have been ceded UN recognition without the Palestinians getting to weigh in

Insane that the UN just got to unilaterally give away land that had people living on it.

They did, they're calling it BRICS but this time they're starting from the opposite end in regards to membership. I have more hope for this one.

(I'm being a smart aleck; I know BRICS isn't akin to the UN)

Far from unrealistic imo, that might happen at some point in the century

This happened to South Africa before it was ended too.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago

The way Israel has behaved in the last year, they've cemented that they can never become like South Africa; even if a ceasefire is declared and apartheid ended, how do you tell people who've just survived a horrific genocide to just go on and live with the people who were just cheering for them and their children to be turned into unrecognizable gore?

Even if South Africans had felt the same way about black people that Israelis do about Palestinians, they hadn't yet crossed the threshold into literal holocaust; the plausible deniability that South Africa would never have done so makes it easy for bygones to be bygones; Israel has crossed that threshold and the illusion that they never would have conducted a genocide no longer exists.

A one state solution even on October 6th, despite the atrocities of the preceding decades, would have been easy to do and would have been welcomed by the Palestinian people, now that's literally impossible, and Israel will never accept a true two state solution that would allow a Palestinian state to legally have its own army and be able to arm themselves into becoming a formidable force.

Saying all this, it makes me realize how awesome the DPRK is because I do truly believe that if America genuinely approached North Korea with the intent of peaceful coexistence and to put the past behind, I do believe the DPRK would embrace it (of course this requires evidence that it's not being done in bad faith; they would be dealing with the US government); the DPRK, Venezuela, Cuba and even Iran to be honest.

Israel is a rogue nation. It should be removed from ~~the United~~ Nations

[-] asante@hexbear.net 15 points 3 hours ago

It should be removed

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 37 points 6 hours ago

Over 220 UNRWA workers killed the highest in UN history. At this point what else do you say

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 26 points 6 hours ago

How is the United States or the UK not a rouge state and still a member of UN?

Pisssrael can not do it's shit without the United States and their exceptions and flaunting of law.
