Is recognising Palestine a way to ‘save face’ for Western leaders?

While a historic decision, Western states’ recognition of Palestine needs to come with more action, analysts say.

The EU’s Horizon Programme has pumped billions of euros into Israel’s military-industrial complex, including millions since Israel was accused of genocide. It is high time to exclude Israel from EU Horizon: https://www.donotpanic.news/p/eu-science-grants-are-funding-israeli

The article at top of this thread lists many examples of silencing by @germany

Your recollection may hint at an earlier incident:
#Oyoun, a migrant-led cultural center, refused to give in to political pressure and cancel the 20-year anniversary event of the Jewish anti-Zionist group Jüdische Stimme in November 2023. #Berlin’s Culture Minister #JoeChialo ended the center’s contract with the city government, effectively shuttering Oyoun.

They announced: “This decision feels like more than just a closure; it resembles the setting of a precedent that all state-funded institutions may now fear. The implications are far-reaching, impacting the very essence of artistic freedom and expression.”
