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.
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.
