Are they giving Isreal a deadline to complete their genocide?
By September, there won't be much of a Palestine left to recognize.
- Frankly I'm surprised there's anything left now, late last year I was saying Gaza would be razed by Easter
  
  Gaza pretty much has been razed; Gazans are only holding on by sheer force of will.
So if Israel stops genociding Palestinians, the UK won’t recognize them as a state.
If it continues the genocide, the UK will recognize them as a state.
😵‍💫
"UK warns Israel, if they don't stop what they're doing, the UK might do something in two months time"
The most bullshitty piece of bullshit I've ever heard.
- translation:
  hurry up and kill them all before we symbolically do something that has no consequences at all.
SEPTEMBER?! What's wrong with now?
- Isn't the UN vote in September
We’re gonna make this totally symbolic gesture that means nothing unless you stop being evil. Oh, wait. Evil people don’t give a flying fuck about empty gestures. Aw, shucks.
how does this fit the community?
- I dunno, I found it pretty goofy that the government is threatening to recognize a country as a punitive measure against another.
  
  yhea, it makes no sense, "Recognising Palestine" is like recognising the existence of water.
  not doing so is straight up denying reality.
- "Country A threatens that if Country B doesn't do what they want they'll recognize C as a country" kinda sounds Onion funny to me
  
  Oh, it definitely is.
  It's a lot more bleak than most Onion headlines, but it fits.
- Idk man/woman/compadre,.when I saw it I legitimately thought it was satire. It was both the weird condition and also a general sense of "no way".
  
  It is kind of incredible that UK would even consider saying they might do something like this eventually.
- I guess there won’t be any Palestine left, so the whole recognition thing is moot as.
- plus the idea that the country might be gone in two months
- It's the most luke warm response to starving children from the most luke warm leader of a major country
what kind of a logic is this?
So if they nuke Gaza in August...
- There'll be a good time to start on the next country.
