Why “in September”? Surely this is something that once you’ve decided you’re going to do it, you’re going to do it. Just…like, do it?
At the United Nations General Assembly. Not just in general. September is when the next sessions starts.
Yeah, I can understand that, but all the while people & children continue to be slaughtered 🤷♂️ but don’t worry though, September is a good time I’m sure.
(Anger and sarcasm isn’t directed at you OP- just at bureaucracy & politics in general)
Just having him recognize it as a legitimate state doesn’t mean the genocide and ethnic cleansing are going to stop. It’s still very much just a PR move whether he officially announces it then or now, imo
Half of France is on vacation until September. I’m not even kidding that’s probably why.
Why September? If you’re announcing what you’re going to announce what is the point?
They’re hoping Israel would have finished exterminating them by then so they won’t actually have to follow through with it.
He wants to announce it at UN. The next assembly is in September
Testing waters but no idea for what.
By September it will just be East Israel. They needed to do this a decade ago.
Why wait until September?
To placate people with promise but not do it, Macron is one of those politicians that you can easily tell when he’s lying - when his mouth moves
he wants to recognize a demilitarized Palestine.
while this is welcoming news during this atrocious time of the zionist genocidal assault against Palestinians, I am curious of the details. Is this 1967 borders? What about the facts on the ground that zionism has created to make a two state model incapable?
Do we really want to normalize having a new Palestine state existing in a quasi-like existence next to this genocidal state? How far will that go? Will AOC and others say Palestine has the right to defend itself and arm it with iron dome?
Furthermore Israel should not be off the hook in the important work of dismantling colonial regimes.
The only possible way forward is to equalize existence for all peoples on the lands, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or who they are. Ethno-nationalist state models like zionism deserve the trashbin of history and I dare any one upholding liberal values to defend an ethno-nationalist state now or in the future, but we all know they’ve done an trash job in the past.
Local man to recognise Macron as slightly less of an irredeemable piece of shit in October, says me
Wow he can do something else besides talk?
It does nothing, no Palestinian will have food or safety because of it.
This is literally just talk (promise) about a bunch of other talk (recognition). While talk is better than silence, nothing of substance is happening yet. They still trade with Israel, including some weapons.
