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.

      People or bots supporting hamas is hamas enough. From the river to the sea. You can play nuance armchair quarterback if you want. I don’t.

        The Palestinian people deserve to be free from their oppressors. Calling for an end to the insane actions by Israel is not pro Hamas, it’s just pro-human decency.

        And anyone saying anything else is supportive of and complicit in genocide and war crimes. Fuck Zionists.
