European Parliament votes to recognize Palestine statehood 'in principle'

baby steps

Recognise ha!!

Amazing. Still a long way to go but it's a start.

In practice this is only symbolic decision that won't change a thing just like this organization, but I'm hope we will return to the negotiating table after the elections in March

I don't support this.

YES!

Yes!

Why? Why do Palestinians not deserve their own country?

Should they be left to be abused by Israel's racist policies forever?

This won't help the peace process between Israel and the Palestinian territories, it is unnecessary at this stage. I didn't say that I don't support a Palestinian independent state as I do, but there's a time and a place and that is not now.

So we should wait until AFTER Israel has covered the entire region in illegal settlements before we make a state?

So where exactly will the Palestinian state BE at that stage? I have seen waterworld.... living on the ocean isn't ideal.

Boo hoo.
