I don’t follow British politics; all I know is typically what I gather from headlines that pass through my feed.

I was under the impression that the government did not support Palestine as they were arresting folks who spoke out in defense of Palestine and against the genocide.

Now I’m seeing headlines saying Britain (amongst others) are set to recognize Palestine statehood.

So what’s really going on?

    Anything someone signs is only worth what can be enforced. Nobody can enforce the situation here against the countries that have chosen to be involved, so having that is worthless.

    A bunch of big countries commit war crimes pretty regularly too, the US, Russia, even Ukraine, definitely China… India killer a Canadian on Canadian soil not too long ago for political reasons.

    If there’s no enforcement, rules are worthless.
