    Palestine is not a recognized country in most of the western world, which in itself is a travesty, but you can probably infer a lot of bs from that.

    Like claiming a certain religious group has no human rights bc they’re not recognized as humans.

      That’s not even true.

      As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members. It has been a non-member observer state of the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012.

      75% of the world recognizes Palestine as a sovereign state.

        To be fair, they specified “western world”. If you look at the map of countries that recognize Palestine, it’s pretty glaring that a good chunk of Europe, Canada/US, and Australia/NZ don’t officially recognize it.
