Can’t we just collectively disavow their actions, but still recognize their existence? My tolerance and sympathy for the Palestinian cause is at an all time low for obvious reasons, but they clearly exist as a nation.
Map is wrong. Ireland recognises both.
Edit: Officially they don’t apparently, but a vote was held on whether Ireland should set up diplomatic relations with Palestine, the yes vote won, but the government is yet to act on it.
Why does it look like the eastern block vs western europe more or less
Wake up babe the new East-West division just dropped
The blue is the only correct answer. As long as a large swath of what would be a “palestinian state” is controlled by terrorist factions with massive popular support whose founding principle is destroying Israel, and who when given the chance will indiscriminately slaughter anyone they feel to be Israeli or sympathetic to Israel – no statehood is ever possible. The honest answer is that the most likely scenario is that the conflict will be ongoing until the Arab world runs out of oil money and is no longer able to materially support whichever terrorist faction is de facto in control of the territory at that point. At which point either the territories are usurped into Israel or a demilitarized state is formed on part the territory.

Well, there might be changes to come in the close future
As of 31 July 2019, 138 of the 193 United Nations (UN) member states and two non-member states have recognized Palestine.
It’s ironic Baltic states don’t recognize this country, yet they were occupied by USSR for decades. HAMAS are terrorists, for sure.
For those wondering:

The yellow is the way to go
