Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state on Wednesday in a historic move that drew condemnation from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland.
It was a lightning cascade of announcements. First was Norway, whose Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said “there cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.”
Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28. “By recognizing a Palestinian state, Norway supports the Arab peace plan,” he said.
Modern Ireland is an absolute shit show tho.
I haven’t seen a bigger nation of virtual signaling government being completely at odds with their population. It’s a glorified tax heaven and I no longer wish to call it my home. I have voted with my wallet and moved out.
Irish history is messy and very few even bother to look deeper into it.
frankly, I don’t know of many countries, if any, whose government isn’t at odds with its population.
Haiti (no government anymore)
What about the Irish govt is virtue signaling? Genuine question, I don’t know much about Ireland except for the Civil War.
Edit: gonna go ahead and say the lack of response means you’re talking out of your ass.
They are still right on this specific issue though
You sound like white South African “expats” that fled to go live in some Whitetopia.
Why? How is it a race thing?
I didn’t say it’s a “race thing” (whatever that means) for Captain-I-Hate-Ireland up there… I said they sound no different than the whiny white ex-South Africans that fled to rich western countries but can’t stop whining about South Africa.
They probably are super insecure in their decision and need infinite amounts of stranger confirmation or smh
guy who has only seen south african expats, watching his second emigration: getting a lot of “south african expat” vibes from this
