far too old to care about fandom opinions i am an adult with a *sees a take* hm. never mind actually. i am in fact so blessed to have a huge brain and correct inconsequential opinions on fictional characters. there but for the grace of god go i
i wanna make it clear this isn't like. my own revolutionary thought or whatever. i was 11 and still very moderate and ignorant politically. i just logically didn't understand it. i wouldn't trust the integrity of my siblings if we were meant to all agree on something. somebody's gonna throw a fit until the other two agree. like logically this just didn't make sense.
i remember being like 11 and learning about international law and thinking "well who. who's gonna enforce that. there's not an international police, it would just rely on the countries involved, right?" but nothing really came of it and i didn't really think about it again. lo and behold.

The US single-handedly blocked the UN from recognizing Palestine by vetoing a draft resolution in the Security Council that recommended that “the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the UN.” With 12 council members voting yes, a clear majority voted in favor; only the UK and Switzerland abstained.
Meanwhile, 139 of the 193 UN member states already recognize Palestine, virtually all of the world safe for the Global North and its closest allies.
Even in the EU, several countries are set to recognize Palestine soon. Since 2012, the Palestinians have been a non-member observer state to the UN, a de facto recognition of statehood granted by the UN General Assembly.
However, the Security Council and then at least two-thirds of the General Assembly must approve an application to become a full member of the world body.
The Palestinian push for full membership came six months into Israel’s devastating war of extermination against the Gaza Strip, and as Israel is expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank, which the UN already considers to be illegal.
