Israel’s foreign minister branded a recent international push to recognise Palestinian statehood a “mistake” on Sunday and warned it could trigger an unspecified unilateral response, after reports that Israel plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.

Several countries, including France and Britain, have pledged to recognise a Palestinian state on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly this month.

    Are they saying it might make them start treating Palestinians badly, killing them and stealing their land? What is this threat of “unilateral decisions” supposed to be that Israel hasn’t done or doesn’t plan to do anyway?

    Seems like an after-the-fact “look who you made me genocide!”

    “If you do this performative and largely symbolic action, we are going to genocide even harder.”

    WHAT THE FUCK!? Bernie had a rally in Chicago yesterday and I tuned in on YouTube just as he said, “And we should not give one more NICKEL to Israel…” Well said, Mr. Sanders. It’s horrible that this genocide is happening, it makes me complicit that it’s being done in my name.

    They’re already taking unilateral action. Everything they’re doing is under their own authority.

    for those who are confused, he means as opposed to what they’re doing now, which is ask Palestinians if it’s ok to genocide them and i assume they say “have at it, hoss”.

    So basically “if they are not a state we kill them slowly, if they are a state we kill them quickly”?
