In fealty to US foreign policy, Mexico has long refused to recognize Palestinian statehood. Last week, that finally changed, with AMLO’s government officially acknowledging Palestinian statehood and establishing a full embassy in Mexico City.

On June 2, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced that, as of the first of the month, it had reclassified its diplomatic mission in Mexico from special delegation to embassy. The ministry “expresses its firm conviction that this measure will contribute significantly to the . . . strengthening of relations between Mexico and the State of Palestine, on the basis of respect and mutual recognition, in benefit of our two peoples as well as international security and development,” it affirmed in a statement.

    By the looks of things, one or more mods decided to delete all comments in the thread. I don’t think that’s something that should never be done, but it should require enough transparency to disclosing the reasons.

      You should be able to view source to see the comment that was deleted but the mods actually edited the comments to read “deleted by mod” in order to hide the reason for deleting the comments. That to me seems like an abuse of the mod log system.
