    Legit wondering what this would change in the status quo. Will they finally…

    1.- Stop delivering weapons? 2.- Stop economic cooperation? 3.- Publicly acknowledge that there IS a genocide 4.- Publicly acknowledge that they’ve been complicit in it all along ?

    I don’t think so, and if I’m right, this only feels like an evasive maneuver.

      Nope. Not in a million years would the Blairite bastards do any of that.

      this only feels like an evasive maneuver.

      Bingo. The only halfway rational explanation for this COMPLETELY out of character move is that it’s a purer symbolic attempt at appearing sympathetic to anti-zionists while still being unrepentant genocide-enablers.

      ETA: in case the “Blairite” didn’t give it away, this was about the UK, whose current government I know more about than those of Canada and Australia

      With labour probably down to sth like %15 and reform way more than that, they are just trying get back some of their voters that they lost by being genocidal scums. Every month there are demonstrations with half a million people in London walking & cursing at him. That is a significant number so at some point he has to pretend like he cares.

    ‘despite opposition from US and Israel’ is also a good one. As if the motherfuckers had anything to say, or could even remotely claim the moral high ground, on this matter.

    “We might as well recognise it before we snap up all their property, am I rite boyz?!”

    Seriously though, true recognition includes stopping actively support the genocide, whether that’s their weapons, funding, diplomatic support or ignoring arrest warrants. Get serious UK & co. You can’t use this to wash your hands of the blood.
