The speed at which public and political perception has turned on Israel is remarkable.
I guess that’s what happens when you commit war crimes, Ben.
About time.
It is, but at the same time the lines on the map being slightly thicker doesn’t really do a lot for Gaza.
It’s still going to be bombed to dust and bulldozed into the sea.
It’s easier to condemn one country attacking another country’s territory than a country carrying out attacks on it’s own. Basically, it turns the Gaza crisis from a domestic issue to an international issue.
We had no problem intervening in Serbia when they were doing the same thing though. Kosovo wasn’t it’s own country until years later.
I suspect the key difference is Serbia was a Russian ally (although even they fell out over this) and Israel is a US outpost.
Recognition means things like you don’t need to ask Israel to enter Palestinian territory.
