Palestinians welcome international support for statehood but obviously there are more urgent measures Western countries could be taking if they wanted to put any pressure on Israel.

“The problem for the Palestinians is that there may not be a long term.”

Statehood is a distant dream for Palestinians as Western support grows

Plans announced by France, the United Kingdom and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state won’t bring one about anytime soon, though they could isolate Israel and strengthen the Palestinians' negotiating position over the long term. The problem for the Palestinians is that there may not be a long term. Palestinians have welcomed international support for their decades-long quest for statehood, but say there are more immediate measures Western countries should take to pressure Israel to end its offensive in the Gaza Strip and flood the territory with desperately needed aid. Still the recognition of Palestinian statehood by major countries is not an entirely empty gesture.

#Passover 2024 / Time for Exodus from Zionism (Naomi Klein)

#Zionism is a "false idol" that has betrayed core #Jewish values of justice, emancipation, and liberation and turned the biblical story of the “Promised Land” into a justification for "colonial land theft, roadmaps for ethnic cleansing and genocide" against Palestinians. Naomi Klein calls for liberating #Judaism from the #ethnostate of Zionism, which wants Jews to live in perpetual fear.

Klein, Naomi. “We Need an Exodus from Zionism.” The Guardian, 24 Apr. 2024. The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/24/zionism-seder-protest-new-york-gaza-israel.

We need an exodus from Zionism

This Passover, we don’t need or want the false idol of Zionism. We want freedom from the project that commits genocide in our name

#Gaza / UNRWA donors likely to resume funding soon, Norway says

[…] "I think that a large number of those countries who suspended are (having) second thoughts," Barth Eide told Reuters in an interview, citing the recognition from these nations that "they cannot punish the whole Palestinian society".

[…] "But then, of course, they need an honourable way out, which means they are hoping, I think - without speaking for individual countries - that they will get something from these investigations that suggest that they can say: "well, we needed to suspend, but now we're back'."
