  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Spain, Ireland, Norway announce they will recognise the State of Palestine

The world does not acknowledge nor does it understand what they are seeing. There will not be a Palestinian state. It is not profitable. Who is a Palestinian ? They need to ask some questions.

They are by no means alone.

@essentialsaltes Am I seeing correctly that Algeria is not green? I'm pretty sure they were the first country to recognize a state of Palestine in 1988. Huh. Same with Indonesia. What's going on there?

No idea myself, but could it be a case of them intending or announcing that they are but ending up never making an official move to recognition?

Hmm, possibly. I haven't looked further into it, seeing the map like that just took me by surprise.

Well, here is the strange thing. Algeria does not recognize Palestine, but it also does not recognize Israel as a country either, as shown on the countries who recognize Israel. Is Algeria trying to be the new Switzerland (as in the stereotypical neutral party, not recognizing both areas as countries)?

Wikipedia backs you up that both Algeria and Indonesia recognized the State of Palestine on Day 1.
