      If you take a look at the map in the wiki page about the International recognition of the State of Palestine you will notice that most of the countries that have not recognised Palestine have been colonisers. Having them change their position is a necessary thing that needs to be done to for peace in the region.

      As of May 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.

      Just looking forward to the next country that will recognise Palestine.

      Because colonisers taking land from a country and a region from a country that historically has been of the country since forever wanting to become independent is completely the same, right. Also it’s cute that you mention the Catalan one and not the Basque one.

        Would it have helped you if I linked directly to the 2017 section on that page?

          Why would an illegally made declaration of independence where not even the majority of the region wanted to secede have validity on the matter? Are you saying that the violence that the catalonian citizens suffered is the same as the mass murder Palestinians are suffering?

          I’m not saying that the way the government of the time acted was okay but for you to point at it and say hypocrisy when talking about what the current government says about the Palestinian genocide and their recognition as a separate nation, originally separate from Israel, is so fucking stupid, I’m sorry.

            The spanish authorities are still to this day persecuting catalan political separatists with full force, even though none of the separatists ever used force against Spain. There is a reason why multiple EU states refuse to cooperate with Spain on that matter.

            Palestine was never a nation, so it is in many ways a separatist movement (and a legitimate one IMO)

      I guess that because he occupies what other European countries have as PM, while our useless king is what other euroepan countries have as president.

      He’s president of the government, what is commonly known as Prime Minister.

      The real president of spain, the president of the state is the king.
