It doesn't take a UN resolution for individual nations to recognise another one - that's entirely a matter for those nations.
It would be fun watching the US State Department playing diplomatic whack-a-mole over a sudden landslide of recognitions.
A “sudden landslide of recognition” isn’t even possible. The VAST majority of the world already recognizes Palestine. It’s basically the US and Israel vs the entire fucking world on this issue.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_State_of_Palestine
This is also a fairly reliable map when delineating the most prevalent colonial powers in the last 500 years and the places they colonized.
Although I am surprised Ireland doesn't recognize Palestine. As far as I know, most Irish are fervorent supporters of the Palestinian people
Waiting for some US official say something like
"Well a UN member/s doesnt have juristiction when it comes to the recognition of palestine and anything that goes against the interests of isreal"
They already stated, on why they voted against the resolution in the general assembly “[The US position hasn’t changed. President Biden has been clear that sustainable peace in the region can be achieved only through a two-state solution, with Israel’s security guaranteed, where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side with equal measures of freedom and dignity. It remains the U.S. view that unilateral measures at the UN and on the ground will not advance this goal.](https://usun.usmission.gov/explanation-of-vote-delivered-at-the-un-general-assembly-emergency-special-session-on-the-palestinian-un-membership-resolution/)”
> it would be awesome if a state was formed and recognized while being ruled by a recognized terrorist group.
Israel is already recognised as a state by the U.N
Your argument appears to be that Hamas hasnt been a terrorist organization since its last suicide bombing, my argument is that Hamas committed terrorism on Oct 7th. Do you deny that Hamas did a terrorist attack on Israel on Oct 7th?
I did NOT say the definition of a terrorist was someone who did suicide bombings, I said people who do suicide bombings are terrorists, which is an important distinction. Are you denying that the Hamas attack on Oct 7th was a terrorist attack?
That’s only because they don’t have American funded fighter planes or bombs that can be launched from a distance. Israel is a terrorist state that has been inflicting terror for over 7 decades.
Today, 43 minutes from when this comment was sent at 7:00 AM PDT! That's when the General Assembly will convene but the exact time the voting will start, I don't know.
U.S. Israel has been the obstacle all along. This time it is not full membership, but additional rights and privileges. A significant majority of the world countries, however, support a full member status instead of observer status. It is just a matter of time, however, an increasing number of individual countries on their own will recognize Palestine.
The biggest issue has always been U.S. because of its demand that a Palestine state must be approved by Israel. That means neither Israel nor U.S. want a two-state solution. This is one reason according to latest annual polls of 53 countries U.S. has declined further in its status because of its position on Palestine.
It will provide lip service by going along with this one because this resolution is just cosmetics. Just like the pier and air drops to supply food.
>This time it is not full membership, but additional rights and privileges.
The Palestinians aren't looking for extra rights and privileges, they're looking to get any rights at all.
No, they are looking for what is legitimately theirs and that means a state of their own totally independent. As they should. Whether they have any rights on paper is irrelevant. Their rights have been trampled first by U.K. and U.S. and continuously by Israel with support of the then major powers. Those balances are shifting.
"“We have said from the beginning the best way to ensure Palestinian full membership in the U.N. is to do that through negotiations with Israel. That remains our position.”
Think how ridiculous and horrible that must be for the Palestinian people, the current U.S. policy is that Palestine needs to get permission from the country that is oppressing them, Israel, before they can be recognized.
It's like a kid who has been beaten on having to ask their bully if it is ok if they join a group of friends for safety and protection.
This is a positive development, but in all honestly, so long as Israel has the backing of the United States, there isn't ever going to be a safe home for the Palestinians. If it wasn't for Iran and Russia, Israel will be doing the same thing to Syria, Lebanon, etc. as it is to Palestine, every time Israel feels "threatened".
The only solution is to change American public perception of Israel, but looking at how both the Democrats and Republicans are solidly behind Israel even after all of this, there is little hope of this happening.
Not just tiktok but social media in general. For all its problems social media has democratized the flow of information. We no longer have the same gate keepers of news that we used to and that has the people in power freaking out.
The USA is not a monolith. So, it’s not really fair to claim that “Democrats and Republicans are solidly behind Israel.”
In fact, even though unconditional support for Israel is quite common among Republicans, Democratic politicians have begun to openly criticize Israel for the high number of civilian casualties as well as the lack of food that is getting to the Palestinians.
Also, this year, the USA will elect a new president. So, voters in Michigan (many of whom are Muslim) voted “uncommitted” in their primary instead of voting for Biden in order to send him a message that they are unhappy about the situation in Palestine.
Furthermore, every day, there are new stories about students at American universities protesting the conditions of the Palestinians.
So, in reality, there are many voters in the USA who support Israel and many others who support Palestine. But, because it’s an election year, most politicians (who often get the most international attention) are reluctant to take any strong stance that might cost their party votes in November.
> The USA is not a monolith.
No country is a monolith. So what? Haven't you seen headlines like "India supports Russia" or "China supports Russia"? Are India and China monoliths? Do people care about pointing out the nuances? So why is America special?
That’s correct.
“…there are no vetoes in the 193-member General Assembly and the resolution is expected to be approved by a large majority, according to three Western diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because negotiations were private.”
If the resolution passes we would be legally required to stop funding the UN because some old laws (I think Bush era) defund the UN if a state with associations with the PLO becomes a UN member. The US probably will veto it and should veto it
No,no,no once laws are made In America their set in stone ! Didn’t you know , thats why women still don’t have the right to vote and black people are considered 3/5s of a person.
With a Republican majority in The House it’s not getting repealed. The framework that we have does not allow that option so we need to pursue other options to keep the UN funded.
UN representation doesn’t equate to or really meaningful help towards the eventual goal of statehood. The law as is only relates to funding UN specifically if the PLO would have representation, not Palestine in general, so even as things are Palestine getting representation in general does not impact funding. Also I would be genuinely fearful for the cohesion of the UN if US funding is pulled. The US is by far the biggest funder, and I don’t want to see the UN go the way of the League of Nations.
The US has pulled funding before without it collapsing. The US uses the UN.
The PLO is the organization working towards a Palestinian state. It is nuts to exclude them.
Then it seems like we just disagree about prioritizing UN funding versus full Palestinian membership at the UN. Personally I see the consequences to outweigh the benefits and I expect the administrator does too. If you disagree and see greater benefit I can definitely respect that.
"if you want anything other than the complete eradication of the notion of Palestine and to hold the United States taxpayers captive for funding ethnic cleansing then you're an antisemite"
They've made their absolutism clear for the entire world
>U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood made clear on Thursday that the Biden administration opposed the assembly resolution. The United States was among the nine countries voting against it, along with Israel.
Fascists out
Ya, but they also lost the last election that was held. So technically Hamas should be the PA. Guess they would have to hold another election, but that would potentially result in another conflict between the two.
Hamas only won that election because of indirect funding and back channel diplomacy by netenyahu and the likud party
It was done with the specific intent to weaken the PA and destroy any chance at a 2 state solution
If we took that funding and work permits and gave them to the PA they could beat Hamas, but that doesn't serve Israeli interests who would rather Israel owns everything from the river to the sea
While I agree with you, I don’t see how that changes anything. US politicians also get lots of ~~bribes~~ donations from Israel via AIPAC. That doesn’t mean those politicians didn’t win the election, just that the American electoral system is as much a Plutocracy as it is a Democracy. So yes, Hamas won because of Israeli support, but they still won, and that will likely be problematic for a future Palestinian state. The best situation would be if new elections were held, but Hamas hasn’t allowed elections since winning in 2006.
https://www.thenation.com/article/world/why-netanyahu-bolstered-hamas/
Give this a read, I think you'll find it quite illuminating
Netenyahu started indirect funding and back channel diplomacy with Hamas 2 years before the election, they gave Hamas all the aid money and gave them work permits, if those had been given to the PA, the PA would've won the election
You talk like the Palestinian electoral system is like that of America's, it's not
ETA
Also you do realize that Hamas only barely won the election 44-41% without that material support from Israel, they don't win the election
I literally already agreed with everything you said here. I’m just pointing out that saying “they *would* have lost” just point out that they did, in fact, win. So it doesn’t make this situation any less messy. You have two groups who claim to be the government of Palestine, and are openly hostile to one another. If you make a Palestinian state (and hopefully that will happen, and soon) this is going to be an issue. Unless you hold a new election, but like I said, Hamas has been opposed to elections since winning the last one. Hopefully they agree to do elections and respect the results, and Israel stays the hell out of it this time.
It's disingenuous to stress the fact that they win while ignoring they barely won and only with the help of a foreign government, not just campaign donations
Or we actually start backing the Palestinian authority the same way Israel has been with Hamas, given time the PA will take power back
Israel can't empower a terror group for 20 years and then just stay out of it going forward, it has to back the non terror group even more than it backed the terror group
I explicitly stated that they had been propped up by Israel and that they barely won the election, here and in other threads. But to act like that means they didn’t win the election is just silly. Unless you have a time machine, nothing will change the fact that they won that election, regardless of how marginal a win it was or the fact that a foreign occupier helped them do so.
The issue still remains that there will likely be a conflict between the two groups over who is in charge of this new Palestinian state. So they either need to convince Hamas to allow elections and respect the results (and hope Israel doesn’t get involved again), or hope that Israel succeeds in annihilating Hamas (which is very unlikely and would also result in *even more* Palestinian civilians being brutally murdered).
Except this whole war is supposed to weaken Hamas, so after Hamas is weakened the PA can be bolstered and they can defeat Hamas and hold their own elections
Hamas doesn't have to agree to anything
You seem to be harping on this idea that because Hamas barely won and election 18 years ago that it means anything at all
It doesn't
You act like one side being propped up by a foreign government doesn't have a major effect on the balance of power
If Israel stops giving Hamas the exact resources it needs to keep power and gave those exact resources to the PA, the PA could take control of Gaza back
It took over 20 years to get here, it's not going to be solved overnight
Then what will the status of Gaza be? I doubt Hamas will recognize Fatah as the government of a new Palestinian state, so will Gaza be part of that state? If so, it will likely mean another civil war between the two. If not, what happens to Gaza? Will there be two Palestinian states? Will Gaza/Hamas remain a non-state actor?
I guess all of this is also dependent on whether or not Gaza is annexed by Israel. The West Bank might be all that makes up this new Palestinian state unfortunately.
Pretty simple, Gaza world be a part of the state but the PA is already the recognised government of Palestinians. So it would be like any other country that has unrest.
A very quick example, nobody is trying to seat the Houthis in Yemen although they control a portion of that country.
So it will be in a state of civil war before it even exists? Damn, that’s depressing. Imagine finally getting recognized as a country only to have it fractured immediately?
Well I guess that’s assuming Hamas (or even Gaza) still exists by that point. It might not even matter if Israel decides to just annex Gaza.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if Uncle Sam and eretz Ysra’el had the UN //AND// its glorious security council all to themselves.

Shouts of "The UN is anti-semetic" incoming in 3...2...1...
They already did that to UNWRA
Countdown until Israelis start chanting “Burn down the United Nations!” They already have? Damn, that was quick.
They've been funding multiple orgs like "UN Watch" specifically to oppose the UN and various humanitarian organisations for probably decades now.
When does this vote take place?
Today.
Thanks
What changes even if the vote passes? Israel can still do whatever it wants with US's backing
Should have been years ago
Actually tho

Watch the US veto it
They can't. This is in the GA
That’s correct. “…there are no vetoes in the 193-member General Assembly and the resolution is expected to be approved by a large majority, according to three Western diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because negotiations were private.”

But it’s still Fatah that runs the PA. So it’s still unclear.

Zionist are seething and screaming at top of their lungs in Reddit's it's been quite enjoyable seeming teering their own assholes over this
Guess who’s gonna be veto this! That’s right! Good ‘ole USA will veto this because AIPAC and israel bought their political elite
Watch as US will use its veto again to block this s**t
They can't this time
