Although Germany does not consider Palestine a country, a majority of the world’s states — 139 out of a total of 193 — at the United Nations do. What’s significant this time, though, is that recognition is apparently being reconsidered by the US, a country that has previously vetoed almost every attempt to make Palestine a country.
The UK also seems to be thinking about it even though in the past, the country has been just as opposed to the move as the US.
hmm… no. UN security council would never permit it.
Veto power is absurd.
oh I dont know about that, the UN has done a fairly passable job - it’s been far more effective then the League of Nations that preceded it.
I’m not a huge fan of the UN, but I’m also convinced we would have had a nuclear war by now if it didn’t exist to allow communication and mediation between the world’s governments.
I like em because aside from the votes doing nothing functional it shows where countries allegiances truly lie.
Many Western countries got exposed for being controlled by the Zionist lobby when they didn’t vote for the ceasefire.
