Historic move; Norway, Ireland and Spain recognize the Palestinian state

[Ancient lion]

Palestinian foreign ministry welcomes three countries' decision​

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomes the decisions taken by the Spain, Norway and Ireland to recognise the State of Palestine," it says.

"With this significant step, Spain, Norway and Ireland have once again demonstrated their unwavering commitment to the two-state solution and to delivering the long overdue justice to the Palestinian people.

"Further, the recognitions of Spain, Norway and Ireland, are in line with international law and all United Nations relevant resolutions, which will in turn contribute positively to all international efforts towards ending the Israeli Illegal occupation and achieving peace and stability in the region."

The statement goes on to call for other states to "take this principled decision as soon as possible".

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.
Several European Union countries have in the past weeks indicated that they plan to make the recognition, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region.
Norway, which is not a member of the European Union but mirrors its moves, has been an ardent supporter of a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

“Palestine has a fundamental right to an independent state.”, the Norwegian government leader said.
The Scandinavian country “will therefore regard Palestine as an independent state with all the rights and obligations that entails,” Gahr Støre said.

The development comes more than 30 years after the first Oslo agreement was signed in 1993.

lol who cares? The 'Palestinians' already have a two state solution. Screw them. And, they still have their self-declared homeland Syria to go to as well.

Norway doesn't get wiped out if Arabs win their Jihad in the ME. Nobody needs to care what they think. Same re Ireland and Spain.

Palestine gets wiped out if the Russian immigrants Israelis win their pogrom.

That was their choice, going to terrorist savagery. Now they reap what they voted for and supported. Good riddance. You can always go over and join them.

Nobody can seem to remember any offers by Spain, Norway, or Ireland to take in Jews still living in the interment camps two years after the war ended, That's probably because they never offered to.

All go to America, did they?

 

[DudleySmith]

All go to America, did they?

Some 150,000 Jews did. Canada and Australia took some in. Why do you ask? Few wanted to go live with your Soviet heroes after the war. America already took in over 3 to 4 million Jews, along with many millions of other people fleeing Europe so you have nothing there, as usual. We did so even though we weren't responsible for Europe's problems. Americans have done way way more than their share. We're paying for that now; many are biting the hand that fed them via their own racism and bigotry. We need to deport about 150 million of them back to where they came from.

Some 150,000 Jews did.

Out of two million?

From the amount of crying you're doing I'd have assumed America took the lot.

Yes, we realize you're desperate for some sort of comeback. Too bad you're stupid and uneducated and can never pull it off.

Yes, we should have flooded the country with millions more refugees during the Great Depression. lol more idiot attempts by you to make some sort of point.

So how many did Norway, Ireland and Spain take in during 1933-1945?

^^^ Doesn't have a clue as to how many Jews there were in Europe after the war, or the 850,000 or so expelled by the his beloved Muslim countries Israel took in. Even it's cherry picked years fail its attempts.

es, we should have flooded the country with millions more refugees during the Great Depression. lol more idiot attempts by you to make some sort of point.

Just pointing out the US talks a lot of talk. Doesn't quite manage to walk any of the walk.

lol and you failed, as usual. Just ignore the previous history, and the fact that major U.S. employers were still having to hold English classes for their immigrant employees in the 1930's due to mass immigration.

So how many did Norway, Ireland and Spain take in during 1933-1945?

Why not answer the question? Embarrassed? Was it 12? 5? 9? 0?

Creating a Palestine now would cause more trouble than creating Israel after the War did. The main problem isn't one that involves land. It's the problem of Muslims not believing Israel has a right to exist. I think there is also a degree of jealousy because Jews seem to be better at almost every aspect of civilization than the Muslims. Muslims mistakenly think they're superior and their pride will never allow them to play second fiddle.

No thanks. The world doesn't need another terrorist state.

About 144 of the 193 member-states of the United Nations recognise Palestine as a state, including most of the global south, Russia, China and India. But only a handful of the 27 European Union members have done so, mostly former Communist countries as well as Sweden and Cyprus.

Britain, Australia and EU members Malta and Slovenia have indicated in recent months that they could soon follow suit.

Norway, which is not an EU member, was the host of the Oslo peace process some 30 years ago that was intended to lead to a Palestinian state on territory captured by Israel in a 1967 war, including the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. The last negotiations collapsed a decade ago.

Netanyahu has rejected a sovereign Palestinian state, despite the so-called "two-state solution" remaining the U.S. policy objective.

How to earn a State in 1945:

develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;

refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations


How to earn a State in 2024:

commit the most vile of atrocities upon the citizens of another state

silver platter



It is absolutely appalling that the global community is rewarding Hamas and the Palestinians for October 7.

 

[Shusha]

One wonders what "Palestine" is going to do with its one million new Jewish citizens. Apartheid? Ethnic cleansing? Local village violence? Or do you think those citizens will get full citizenship and equality under the law?
