Norway, Ireland and Spain say they will recognize a Palestinian state. That's a historic but largely symbolic move that further deepens Israel’s isolation more than seven months into its grinding war against Hamas in Gaza.
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.
I haven't seen a bigger nation of virtual signaling government being completely at odds with their population. It's a glorified tax heaven and I no longer wish to call it my home. I have voted with my wallet and moved out.
Irish history is messy and very few even bother to look deeper into it.
I didn't say it's a "race thing" (whatever that means) for Captain-I-Hate-Ireland up there... I said they sound no different than the whiny white ex-South Africans that fled to rich western countries but can't stop whining about South Africa.
