The situation is far more complicated than anyone is saying out loud.
Most people don't understand the geopolitical ramifications of Palestine existing, or weakening Israel.
This whole thing is a global proxy war between the west and a bunch of middle eastern countries. Even China has its own involvement on the side of the middle eastern group, though behind the scenes rather than overt.
Unfortunately it's almost entirely a one sided genocide of the Palestinian people as a result.
The whole recognition of Palestine at this point is mostly just to stem the anger of the general populations in Western countries, but it will also allow these countries to keep supporting Israel behind the scenes in order to keep a lid on the middle eastern powers.
Which Middle Eastern powers are we talking about here?
Iran and their supporters?
I mean.. Like with most things, just follow the money.
Hamas is not buying and building their own weapons, Palestinians are dirt poor. Where's the money and weapons coming from?
We all know the west is dumping money into Israel.
This is how you understand modern geopolitical situations.
They signed the genocide convenstion . Their excuses is useless
Anything someone signs is only worth what can be enforced. Nobody can enforce the situation here against the countries that have chosen to be involved, so having that is worthless.
A bunch of big countries commit war crimes pretty regularly too, the US, Russia, even Ukraine, definitely China.... India killer a Canadian on Canadian soil not too long ago for political reasons.
If there's no enforcement, rules are worthless.
