Really struggle with the idea that recognising Palestine is being treated like a way to try and moderate Israel's conduct - the diplomatic equivalent of a threat to send a naughty child to bed early if they don't behave properly - rather than the inalienable right of an entire nation of people.

It should go without saying, but politicians rushing to do PR visits with wanted genocidaires *while they are still committing the genocide* is an order of magnitude more extreme and hateful than e.g. a certain recently proscribed direct action group have done. It is apeshit stuff!
