I'm not talking about neutrality, I'm talking about avoiding doing more damage. We have a history of fucking that region up. But yes, I wasn't entirely serious.

I don't think it's anything like as straightforward as you paint it. People are worryingly keen to support a country whose people are launching rockets attacks at that country's neighbours. I don't think they'd have that support if the target of those attacks were anything but Jews.

Yes, Isreal commits its share of atrocities too. But they're already a country, already recognised, they have a relatively stable government, economy and jurisprudential system. Of course recognising Palestine would help it move towards such things but we don't tend to endorse proto-states whose government is complicit in the murder of civilians, regardless of the provocation. And rightly so, I think.

But all of that is beside the point. It's an incredibly complex and unstable situation and I trust the people whose job it is to be better informed and educated about it than I am. They don't do this shit just on a whim.

Much of what you say cuts both ways. And the UK couldn't do much more damage that the two sides do to each other. Sins of the past don't negate responsibility for the future.

Anyway, Palestine is recognised by the UN now, and I for one think it's a good thing.
