The worst part of this map is that they use a different shade of green in the key to the one they use in the map. /s
Why did you have to point this out
I’m sorry, I thought it was obvious. I can’t not see it.
Fingers crossed that Malta’s support is what finally gets this nonsense sorted out once and for all.
Wait wait wait wait. I know I’ve been surprised by this map numerous times.
BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?
Also looking at this map, it seems the majority of the population of Earth recognizes it.
So in my head, that means that Palestine is 100% a nation. With sovereignty. And the US, Europe, and Australia are still “lalala i can’t hear you” and “can’t be a genocide if you aren’t a targeted group of people that we recognize lalalalala.”
BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?
Soviet Union was one of the major (if not the major) advocates for Palestine in UN. Russia still has significant connections to Palestine. For example, president of Palestine went to a victory day parade in Moscow this year.
And the US, Europe, and Australia are still “lalala i can’t hear you”
that’s not just in your head, that’s the awful reality we live in
Back when they were a communist nation, they and most other communist/aligned countries recognized them.
Commies are cool, as it turns out.
Commies are cool, as it turns out.
Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.
It’s not about peaceful routes, it’s about sustainability and avoiding evil.
Not all Bolsheviks were awful, too. It’s just that the general agreement about “we are doing a marxist revolution and transforming a country worse than intended for that, and so we can only afford unity and centralism, and some hard solutions are necessary” meant that the hard solutions led from executions of some people to executions of many, and unity led to gradually destroying opposition (the communist kind), and centralism led ultimately to Stalin.
I don’t really want to get into this argument, but just out of curiosity what do you think about Cuba?
Cuba is still authoritarian. Their biotech research is pretty amazing though, in spite of sanctions and Castro’s obsession with producing a supercow.
Don’t you dare slander Ubre Blanca
Out of interest, what do you think of cuba?
But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.
Funny how the only “good communists” to liberals are the ones that fail and die.
And yet the entire USSR failed and died massively anyway?
Accomplished infinitely more than the dead failures you endorse. Almost like liberals think the only good communist is a dead communist 🤔
But USSR is dead. How is that accomplishment?
Oh, but he Kronstadt sailors aren’t?
And they’re entirely right

No, fuck Fascism. They’re no better than Marxist trash. I don’t support authoritarianism.
Marxist garbage are so braindead they literally call everything Fascist while lacking the self awareness that they support that supports many of things that makes Fascism a shitty ideology.

the USSR was the first state to recognize Israel. authoritarian commies are a fucking joke
Commies are just as bad as Nazis.
That’s the truth. It’s a failed murderous ideology that killed tens of millions in a few short decades and brought nothing but poverty, tyranny, death, and destruction everywhere it went. It’s flawed in both theory and practice, which is why it collapsed. All the modern day Marxists literally cannot defend this shitty ideology on it’s own merits. Their worldview is supported entirely on lies, fallacies, and willful ignorance.
You can downvote and seethe all you want, won’t change the reality one bit.
Canada, Greenland, Australia, and Japan should totally recognize Palestine. It’s not like they need to keep pleasing the US now that it’s actively spitting in their face.
Greenland has to abide by Danish policy for foreign relations as its part of the Danish crown. Denmark should recognise it though.
honestly australia is kinda between a rock and a hard place … we have to ride the line between US and china because we’re hugely strategic to china with all our raw resources, with little to no ability to actually defend ourselves because we have such a huge land mass and tiny population (we’re about the size of the US in land mass with a population slightly smaller than texas: imagine if texas alone had to defend the entire US)
we aren’t europe: if we piss off the US we don’t have the money or population to pivot
… also the US has been involved with overturning our elected government twice
that said, we’ve been getting much closer to recognising palestinian recently
CANZUK ✊ 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🇬🇧
yes pls
Yeah… disgustingly strong zionist lobbying in Canada…
Corbyn in the UK ten years ago had a huge groundswell of popular support that at one point looked like carrying Labour to a 1997-style landslide, until he was taken down by an organised campaign of pearl-clutchy disingenuous accusations of anti-semitism over his support for Palestine; a campaign that the neoliberals in his party were all too happy to play along with.
It’s something to do with the stupid Commonwealth, not the US
I think I’m going to need a source on that one. We’ve had independent foreign policy for a long time.
Nobody in the west really give a single fucking shit about Palestine, it has nothing to do with us and we dont want nothing to do with it. Keep it on the other side of the sea.
Nobody in the west really give a single fucking shit about Palestine
half true
it has nothing to do with us
not true, Zionism was originally a Christian ideology that originated in Europe and the founders of Israel and its leadership to this day are majority European Jews and see Israel as an extension of Western Civilization
What absolute nonsense
Maps without New Zealand
the Internet is yet to recognize New Zealand
Well, might as well start here. Do you recognize it?
But we finally have data on Western Sahara
And many dozens cheered
People think we are the civilized ones when in reality we are just savages with nukes.
People think we are the civilized one
No one thinks that.
we’ve gone completely M.A.D.
Myanmar seems like an odd gap. A quick search just seems to say Myanmar and Israel have a long diplomatic history and some minor arms sales?
Well Myanmar is run by a military dictatorship that murders, disappears and tortures civillians, and has an ongoing public resistance against it since a few years.
When Iran was ruled by the Shah Israel were best buddies and help arm and train his army and intelligence. Guess what they did: murder, disappear and torture tens of thousands of civillians.
When South Africa was still an Apartheid state, Israel was also good friends with them. Guess what they did…
Yeah Israel is one of half a dozen countries that continued to deal arms to Myanmar after the Rohingya Genocide.
…and Aotearoa/New Zealand falls off the map again. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Given our stance it’s probably for the best this time.
hawai too
TIL of Aotearoa, thanks for sharing. That’s a bad-ass name, NZ should switch back to that.
what a massive increase from a few years ago am proud
Even Comoros recognize Palestine since 1988
Comoros is a member of the Arab League.
Wow that’s a whole lot of countries sending thoughts and prayers.
Always the same map huh?
Fuck, even POLAND recognises them.
Isn’t Malta like the last Crusader state? Pretty sure the knights of malta have some sort of UN special observer status.
Knights of Malta do have an observer status in the UN, but they’re unrelated to the Republic of Malta, which the post is about.

I’m surprised that there’s so many countries who recognize Palestine. Is this a recent development?
no, the communist bloc and non-aligned countries recognised palestine in opposition to the western bloc’s support of israel, right when palestine declared its independence in 1988
Ireland (and norway iirc) only recognised palestine recently.
spain too i think
edit: This wikipedia page has a table which you can sort by date if recognition
All the countries that recognized Palestine in the last two years are: Mexico (Feb 2025), Armenia, Slovenia (June 2024), Ireland, Norway, Spain, The Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago (May 2024), Jamaica, Barbados (April 2024)
The recent development is the recognition by some European and Caribbean countries. The rest of the world has recognized Palestine for decades.

As opposed to France and UK who also don’t recognize Palestine and in the case of the UK have at least as much responsibility for the conflict?
But hey, fuck me for learning something new, right?
