    The borders should be solved with a boxing match between the heads of state refereed by a Buddhist monk

  2. It should be mentioned that not officially recognizing doesn’t means ignoring or denying, its not a binary state, for example some of these red countries should have representation offices in Palestine

  3. How can a country vote at the UN for the creation of a State and then go on not recognizing its existence?

    Summary of the UN General Assembly vote on Resolution 181, 29 November 1947

    Adopted at the 128th plenary meeting:

    Abstained: 10

  4. The unnecessary amount of repetitive “NO”s despite the legend, the replacement of borders with weird flag circles which force the year number out of place and the colors overall make my brain hurt.

    Not to mention the mirrored Palestine flag in the title…

    I suppose that if you’re recognized as a country, like Iraq, and you attack an adjacent country, like Kuwait, that would be called a war when Kuwait strikes back with allies, bombs Iraq, then invades Iraq. No one calls it a ‘genocide.’

  6. How can the ex soviet republics differ in opinion?

    Did the latvian SSR have it’s own diplomacy or did they remove recognition

    Western Europe/the US: “We support a two-state solution with Israel and *that other State there*”

  8. How did Russia, Ukraine and Belarus recognize Palestine before independence from the Soviet Union?

  9. This is weird, how all ex Soviet republics green and Moldova somehow red? Did they just change their mind?

  10. Funny fact: Almost every country that tecognizes Palestine, does not recognize Kosovo (and vice-versa). I have no idea why.

    How can you recognize something, that does not exist? All of the functions of the state – border, army, taxes, social services, and many more are non existant. They had chances to establish state but refused it all the times with the sole goal of Israel destruction

  12. Im Irish. 2024. It is absolutely shameful, especially when we have always supported the Palistinian cause as a people.

  13. Spain surprised me a bit. They adamantly don’t recognise states like Kosovo for fear of legitimising independence movements. Palestine is a bit different, but I think that recognition makes the lack of Kosovo recognition hard to defend

  14. I’m pretty sure mine does, they organize marches in support from time to time. Can’t say how many people actually care tough

  15. 88′ ? Which year, 8803? In the future, or BC? Are you sure you don’t actually mean ’88? Same goes for 92′

  16. Oh wow, I didn’t know Great Britain didn’t recognize Palestine. This whole time I thought GB was part of the reason Palestine exists. I need to read more history.

    P.S. This is an annoying map to look at. It’s more like r/MapBonerKiller

  17. Canada as a country does not but it seems that the majority of regular people or at least a very significant portion do recognize it

    bruh NO NO NO NO, just paint it red and everyone already knows, otherwise at least draw some border.
