PALESTINE

The useful British twist!

After a brief period of introductions, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer yesterday, weeks later, recognized the state of Palestine next September.

Starmer's announcement, coinciding with Foreign Secretary David Lammy's announcement at the two-state solution conference in New York, which came hours after his meeting with the teaching staff at 10 Downing Street, is significant given the empire's offerings, during the era when the sun never set on its colonies, of Palestine as one of its gifts that it did not own and could not dispose of, in the context of what was known as the promise of no to those who did not deserve it.

Starmer's declaration throws into the turbulent international waters the unjust Israeli crimes, in which the level of barbarity is unparalleled in the universe, where starvation must be a tool of genocide in which children's oxides melt and adults faint, in a scene that has become scandalous and aligned and quickly puts pressure on the rogue state, which has cracked the formal sports declines, implemented measures to bring in meager aid, and announced "human truces" - what "bloody truces" - in which entire families are crushed, as happened yesterday in Nuseirat, where the families of Abu Ataya, Siyam, Abu Nabhan and Lahham from the civil registry were supposed to gather.

The British surprise, which implies a belated correction of a historical error, carries unmistakable messages: those icy international recognitions of the State of Palestine have begun to roll in, gaining strength and power, with the British declaration, and before it the French, Spanish, and Norwegian declarations, along with 144 countries that preceded them in recognizing the State of Palestine.

If you want to understand the value of the British-French group, look at the hysterical Israeli responses, which tested its re-emergence on Palestinian concern, which ignited more than one red flag for countries that reject the ideological greed that has taken hold of the ruling right. Starmer expressed this by saying: "Our membership in the Palestinian state stems from our commitment to protecting the two-state solution."

International recognition, even if delayed, builds the international legitimacy necessary for practical steps to reform the two-state solution from the clutches of brutal biblical fundamentalism.
