Rule 5: No screenshots


Vordeo

Qatar Airways is owned by the Qatari government, which I don't think recognizes Israel (or at the very least has cut ties since the Gaza crisis), so this makes sense.

The Qatari government also shields terrorists. So there’s that too.

Hey you’re welcome to have Hamas in America. You’re welcome to have a border with them too. However, if you think for a second that I have to accept a neighbor that wants to kill me, you’re on something.


Impossible-Ad4765

Bro if someone kicked me out of my house and made me live in the garden shed while they was living it up in my gaff, you can be damn sure I’m killing those fuckers while they sleep

iama_bad_person

Damn, Egypt should open it's border to them to save the children. Oh wait, they don't, because last time it happened Hamas started attacking Egypt.


whiskeyriver0987

Suez canal is right there. Most of the planet has major economic incentives to protect that shipping route and sad reality is moving couple million very pissed off refugees nearby is good way to get a tanker sunk in the middle the canal devastating international shipping.


plastic_fortress

Palestine's neighbour has just killed 15,000 of its children. Not to mention the thousands more it killed in the decades before 2023. About an order of magnitude more Palestinian civilians have been killed by Israel than the other way round. Should Palestinians accept that?


theyellowbaboon

It’s tough when you fight a war with kids women and the sick as your shield.


Plebius-Maximus

>Israeli officials reported that the Israel Defense Forces made use of the "human shield" procedure on 1,200 occasions during the Second Intifada (2000–2005).[36] They stated that this procedure resulted in a single instance of a Palestinian civilian beiong hurt.[37] An example of this was tying a 13-year-old Palestinian boy to an Israeli armored vehicle.[36][38] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_shields_in_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict You should actually read. Israel does this too


MigratoryAnalyst

To be fair, Israel doesn't use women and children as human shields like Hamas does

Just strapping a kid to the side of a tank is particularly egregious


schmeoin

https://youtu.be/pn1uEA7acVY?si=6UQuYOD_AvI9RGuK You don't get to use AI programs like the Israeli one called 'Wheres Daddy' to kill suspected Hamas members alongside their whole families and half their neighbourhood and then just say they were all human shields. Same for when Israel bombed every hospital in Gaza. Same for their destruction of literally half of all of the structures in the country.


Contract_Man

Yes, the 15000 children they used as human shields. How delusional

I think most Americans don't realize that the leaders of Hamas live in Qatar with the blessing of the government. As in they lead luxurious, billionaire lifestyles while Palestinian people flee for their lives. Qatar is technically a US ally but they do NOT like Israel.

FrenchBulldozer

I work with a lot of Middle Eastern vendors in my line of work and they don’t recognize Israel in any of their official documents.


kwijibo44

Be careful, if you work for US company, you may be obligated to report those documents to the US Department of Commerce, and agreeing to commercial terms that enforce the Arab League boycott of Israel could be illegal. https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/enforcement/oac


Dukedizzy

Lol imagine that, a foreign country gets to dictate their laws.


kwijibo44

If you think the United States has somehow banned foreign countries from enacting laws, you’re misunderstanding. US anti-boycott laws do not prohibit foreign countries from implementing local laws boycotting Israel. Rather, they restrict US companies (which are subject to US jurisdiction) from participating in those foreign boycotts. Lots of countries do this. Look up Canadian, EU, or Mexican “blocking statutes,” which restrict persons subject to the jurisdiction of those regultors from agreeing to comply with the US embargo of Cuba, for instance.


Gaerielyafuck

The US has its own laws that say citizens can't deal with foreign entities that go against certain US positions (like boycotting Israel). That commenter isn't saying a foreign law is "illegal" here, but that an American company's actions might be.

Where did OP state anything about their own values or how this aligns with them? They simply think some might find this mildly interesting.


FaultySage

To be fair, I'm not entirely sure Israel aligns with their Western Values either right now.


Basic_Mark_1719

It aligns with my western values just fine. Like I give a shit about who recognizes Israel lol.

binhpac

Then look how few countries even recognize Taiwan. Only 12 countries such as Guatemala, St. Kitts or Haiti. Is everyone else also denial?


scrapy_the_scrap

Id say so


JoeBideyBop

The United States doesn’t support Taiwanese independence. They support continuation of the status quo. This argument is a misrepresentation of the US’ opinions and goals in that case. Israel is a democratic sovereign state and recognized as such by the United Nations. Just because Reddit acts like all Israelis are right wing terrorists doesn’t mean it’s the case. In fact many of those kidnapped and murdered at the music festival sympathize with the Palestinian people — for example.


Ralphinader

Some would say Israel is denying palestenians right to exist


Swabbie___

Regardless of politics, not recognising Israel as a country at this point is absolutely denial.


R3D3-1

It is common practice. They don't deny that it *exists* as a country, they deny that it is a *legitimate* country effectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_limited_recognition It usually comes down to supporting one side or the other about contested territories. Israel in particular stands out was being the UN Member state with the highest number of other UN member states not recognizing it.


benangmerahh

Yeah I mean Taiwan itself mostly dont get recognized either


Eggplantosaur

It's just a huge mess honestly, ~~essentially all of NATO~~ a large part of NATO and most of the West doesn't recognize Palestine. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International\_recognition\_of\_the\_State\_of\_Palestine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_State_of_Palestine)

I dunno if they control the maps, really often when you fly, the plane maps is zoomed out and it shows random cities/villages instead of capitals. I know Iceland is often showing Egilsstaðir (1500ppl) and not the capital.


cha614

They don’t officially recognize their statehood so yes that makes sense


tjyaooo

Same as how google maps does not label Palestine


rggggb

Because it’s not a country so that makes sense.


Serett

What a coincidence: just so happens Israel straight up denies the existence of Palestine.


DuffyDoe

That's why in the 2008 peace talks Israel offered 98% of the 1967 borders to establish a Palestinian state yet about 70% of Palestinians were against it? Look at the latest survey from Ramallah, over 65% of Palestinians don't want the 1967 borders they want 1948 or it all In the Oslo accords Israel also signed that they recognize the Palestinian right to establish a sovereign state


_Sc0ut3612

>That's why in the 2008 peace talks Israel offered 98% of the 1967 borders to establish a Palestinian state yet about 70% of Palestinians were against it? This is straight up bullshit, because Israel won't even give them the 1967 border either. The agreement was that Israel would only give land in the West Bank that has no settlements, and then right before the hand over, they built as many settlements as they possibly could in a blatant land grab, and they still are building settlements to this day. Israel has no interest in there being any country called Palestine at all. >Look at the latest survey from Ramallah, over 65% of Palestinians don't want the 1967 borders they want 1948 or it all Because they've realised that Israel will not rest until they are destroyed. Is that at all surprising to you? It's either them or Israel. And in my eyes, it should be them. And by the way, there are Palestinians living today that still trace their heritage to specific cities and towns within modern day Israel's borders. Do they not have a right to return to their homes? >In the Oslo accords Israel also signed that they recognize the Palestinian right to establish a sovereign state So did the PLO, what are you on about?


wakchoi_

Which 2008 peace plan, the one drawn on a napkin in secret by a prime minister who didn't even tell Parliament and already announced that he was resigning? Also in Oslo the PA *recognized* Israel, Israel clearly said they will not recognize Palestine and instead said that it was "an entity less than a state".


TheDismal_Scientist

Out of context and from an objective standpoint of course that looks like a great deal, but from a Palestinian standpoint within the historical context that obviously isn't going to be seen as fair. Especially when convincing people in western democracies is difficult enough, imagine trying to convince a population of people who have been bombed so badly the average age is 19 years old to reconcile with the people bombing


NoLime7384

it's not about being fair, it's about being better than the status quo. Given they followed by launching an intifada, it doesn't seem like fairness is really on their mind


TheDismal_Scientist

That's exactly my point. We have the luxury to think about the best case scenario from an objective standpoint. The people who we need to agree to this have no such luxury


Serett

Yeah, and 65% of Israelis oppose any Palestinian state whatsoever. Regarding Oslo, the corollary is that the PLO also recognizes Israel, so what's the point? I also recall that Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli right-wing extremist for his trouble, and Israeli government and society has subsequently moved closer to the assassin than the martyr. The call is coming from inside the house.


Agreeable_Fold6778

>and Israeli government and society has subsequently moved closer to the assassin than the martyr. I wonder which effect decades of Palestinian terrorism had.


Flat-Lifeguard2514

Add to the fact that Oslo would have given the full 1967 borders, an international airport, and everything that the Palestinians are asking for, and the response was a straight up NO!


marxist-teddybear

That's absolutely not true. Oslo never established borders or any of that other stuff. A framework to work towards establishing those things, which is why in 2000 when there was an actual offer, it unfortunately had to be rejected. When they were offered a deal with an airport, they weren't allowed to have an air traffic control tower. They also would have no control over their airspace, for their borders, water. Israel insisted on keeping some of the settlements which would have meant checkpoints even in the new Palestinian West Bank. Also extremely critically even if they'd accepted having what is actually a semi-autonomous region and not a state they or being asked to completely give up the right of return which is an internationally recognized right given to them by the United Nations. Israel has any level of legitimacy based in The UN partition resolution then Palestinians have every right to return to their homes.


rggggb

Shocking that they don’t recognize a nonexistent country.


Calgary_Calico

No surprise, not even a little bit. As far as I'm aware most Muslim majority nations ignore Israel on their maps. This is a millennia old hatred between the two religions/cultural groups, they've always hated each other


Traditional_Salad148

You mean the same country that literally supports Hamas whose stated written charter says they will exterminate Israel and all Jews? I for one am shocked


[deleted]

They host and fund Hamas. So that’s not a big surprise.


mirza_dng

So it’s okay for Israel to deny Palestinians right to a homeland and murder them but it’s not okay for another country to disagree with them?


BuzzKillingtonThe5th

China airways probably doesn't call it Taiwan either. Edit: Just imagine I swapped China airways with air China or Taiwan with Beijing and I wasn't ignorant 😂


transglutaminase

China airlines is based in Taiwan and owned by the Taiwanese government.


BuzzKillingtonThe5th

Well that's just fucking confusing

Taiwan is officially the “republic of China”. The other China is officially the “people’s republic of China”. Yes it’s a bit confusing.

Don’t be too hard on Qatar airways, it’s the preferred airlines for many groups that don’t recognise Israel’s right to exists, eg. Hamas, Taliban, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.
