Norway, Ireland and Spain have recognized a Palestinian state in a historic move. Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28.

Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state on Wednesday in a historic move that drew condemnation from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland.

It was a lightning cascade of announcements. First was Norway, whose Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said “there cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.”

Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28. “By recognizing a Palestinian state, Norway supports the Arab peace plan,” he said.

    Yep r/worldnews went from condemning Russia for their war crimes on Ukraine to damn near universally praising and supporting Israel’s war crimes on Palestine.

    Sadly, I don’t think it’s all bots and propagandists. A lot of them are real people that really do have that level of cognitive dissonance.

      You don’t need that many bots and propagandists when liberals are so ready to fall in line.

      Ukraine didn’t attack Russia first with rapist maniacs. If it did I think you’d find more people would turn a blind eye to Russian atrocities too.

        “They committed war crimes first, so we can commit war crimes back!”

        That’s the argument you’re using.

        To me this is the issue. An elected government attacked its neighbour. Sure they (hamas) used shit soldiers with no plan other than to draw their enemy into a media war and the cost of their citizens and children. But they none the less attacked.

        If the tow arms are separate then they should have cooperated with returning hostages.

          How nice of you to forget the other 70 years of Israel killing Palestinians.

            Both sides have been killing each other for those 70 years. Before that it was just the Jews getting killed which apparently is ok with you

              Before that the Zionists, not the “normal” Jews, where doing terrorist attacks on Palestine. Just like they do now. This shit comes from XIX century. And Zionists have always have the same relation with Judaism like AlQaeda with Muslims.
