I recognize Palestinian people's right to identity, autonomy, self-governance, sovereignity, freedom of movement, etcetc. But I can't in all honesty say that I recognize the two de-facto disjointed and powerless entities under Israeli occupation and control as a singular state, if any at all.

Freedom to Gaza, end to West Bank apartheid, ~~glory to Arstozka~~

[–] Kinperor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's part of the problem and why one recurring demand is for Palestine to have a single contiguous territory, instead of the bisection done by Israel.

[–] drath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see it as that big of a problem, countries with exclaves exist, could be something like Armenian-Azerbaijani solution with mutual corridors (though this one has shown to fail miserably). The fact that Fatah and Hamas went their own direction is a bit more of an issue. My position is simple, though - Israel should fuck off all occupied territories, including those of Syria and Lebanon, and lift all blockades they have enacted. They can put as many walls and iron domes as they want, but fuck off the territory that doesn't belong to them. Whether Palestine re-unites after that or remains as two independent states is then up to Palestinian people to decide.

[–] Kinperor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I can agree with that. Palestinians should get to decide whether they're one state or more.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

What about three state solution?

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I wouldn't call someone inhuman if they don't recognize Palestine as a nation. Even though recognizing someone's independence is probably a good thing you need special knowledge of the situation. I would call them inhuman if they support genocide or any of the war crimes that are happening there.

Yeah, i'd like this better if they changed it to "prove you're humane"

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

I agree., denying someones humanity is kinda how genocides get going. I have no pity for genociders or their supporters and I'd also rather more people won't become like them

[–] adry@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

since we're stretching the concepts, how about being inhuman for failing an actual captcha? :P

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We should make it happen…

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 15 points 3 days ago

I mean... We've already surpassed the point where AI is often better at capchas than average humans

Maybe we make them spicy

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Nations are lies that divide humanity.

Edit: Damn, didn't know Lemmy had nationalists.

Question for you: Why is your land superior just because you happened to be born there? This is the same line of thinking that isrelis use to justify their genocide.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Make sure you say this on every thread that recognizes a country, and not just Palestine for some reason.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Where the country lines are being used to justify genocide? No problem

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I agree, but genocide must be stopped regardless of the existence of nations
