  1. I absolutely support the recognition of Palestine. I’m just afraid it will lead to a slippery slope. Like next they’ll do something drastic like recognise Protestants as…. People or something. Next they’ll get the right the vote, the right to live like us, marry us. I can’t imagine that

  2. Shame it took around 40 thousand innocent massacred Palestinians in Gaza for this to finally happen but at least our government have more of a backbone than the UK, US and most of the European Union

    Most people unfortunately don’t bat a eyelid when a country in the Global South that isn’t on good terms with the US and Europe supports the Palestinians but a prominent Western EU member state that has a close relationship to the US makes a stand like this, it sends a very strong message. It’s not a lot but there isn’t a whole lot we can do in a situation like this

  3. 8AM is a weird time for a joint press conference.

    Maybe they want to do with while the Yanks are still in bed LUL

  4. But who do we recognise as the leadership of such a state?
    Hamas are listed as a terrorist organisation in europe,and ireland agrees with that definition.

  5. This is a positive development, nothing more to say about this really. Good that it’s finally happened.

  6. I generally support it but we cannot deal with Hamas.

    However, I am generally curious of what Harris and Martin’s motivation are? These are 2 lads that are passionate about absolutely nothing other than just playing the game of politics. They generally won’t go against anything geopolitically that the US/EU/UK are not in favour of.

    Other than doing the correct thing, what’s the beef? What’s in it for them politically?

    Or am I being too skeptical?

  7. This is good but still not voting for any of these parties come the elections.

  9. Ah I got my hopes up for a second it was going to be another leader resignation.
