Spain, Ireland & Norway All Recognise Palestine Now 

in my opinion showing recognition that a country exists should NOT neccesarily mean supporting that country as it seems to work now. In fact, Palestine and Israel are obviously different countries. Recognising Palestine as a different country shouldnt always mean you support palestine, or vice versa.

You’re a brave man to make this video, especially as an apolitical and unbiased channel. You’re great and the way you present facts respectfully with humour is rare

The Great Nation of Albania 🇦🇱 owns the provinces of Palestine and Israel.

So what about West-Sahara... it will always be a greyed out piece of statistical maps 99,99% of the time?

3:38 "controvershi🥺"

I think you’re a little misinformed but have generally the right idea, chief problem I saw being the idea that Israel wants to control Palestine and not annex it, which is untrue, they want the land, not the Palestinians. That’s abundantly clear. Connected to that, the settlers and settlements are a deliberate choice and policy to place civilians into areas to annex them without declaring annexation (it’s illegal anyway, under international law) and to protect from Palestine just conquering the settled area back. As for why North Korea recognises Palestine, it’s because they see Palestine as a kindred spirit of sorts, having been divided in two with half granted without permission to others, by foreign powers, and then the Palestinian people being subjected to brutal warfare and occupation, like Korea was subjected to Japanese occupation, and total flattening by the Americans during the Korean War, in the first two weeks. Hence, North Korea has a lot of sympathy for Palestine, and it’s one of the few things Korea does on the world stage.

3:10 I think your forgetting about the Kurds.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up Somaliland

Bravo Comrade : Ireland, Spain, Norway, Slovenia and Malta

You are so good at just giving interesting facts and not just picking sides and telling people how to feel when it comes to controversial topics.

10:20 - You don't know how many atrocities the US Armed Forces committed during the Korean Civil War. North Koreans will never forget, regardless of whether you choose to report it or not. Hence they are sympathetic with Palestine. They've witnessed Yanki imperialism firsthand and not only survived, but have attained nukes to assure MAD, should Washington become emboldened.

Spain, Norway & Ireland: 3 cool AF courageous countries ~bravely defying the world’s hegemonic warmongering bully, the US, by standing up for international justice!

I disagree with the existence of the U.K. it isn't a real country

Recognition will just continue Palestine to make efforts. We want a 2 state solution.

Israeli bots going overtime in comments section already 😂 keep malding.

Brave boy, you can feel the terror in his voice, scared not to lean too much and upset the monster. Till when people will be scared...?

The Israeli govt using the Holocaust and antisemitism as an excuse to justify any behavior: the speedrun

The problem is even if you recognize the "state of palestine", who are you recognizing? The Palestinian National Authority in the West Bank? Hamas in Gaza? Both? Are they 2 different states or 1 state? I imagine they're only recognizing the PNA but if you're trying to recognize the "facts on the ground" as you describe it, they clearly operate as 2 separate states.

Alhamdulillah, free🇵🇸❤️🇧🇩

It's really not complicated Palestinians have been occupied and oppressed for 75 years end the occupation and return their rights 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

2:20 what did the ambassadors do??? this is really funny to me for some reason, idk if its just cause of the way u said it tho lol

Common w ireland rere w spain and Norway

Toycat Let’s Go There…. Geography and Beyond.

00:23 In May 2024, President Javier Milei's government broke with Argentina’s previous position on Palestine, voting against recognition of Palestinian state at United Nations.

Shout out to Bhutan's chadly Zero-China policy

I hope Spain is ready to recognize Kosovo then

Exceptional video toycat. Absolutely exceptional. Measured, balanced, truly apolitical. This is so rare. The fact that politically charged videos about this issue have hundreds of thousands of views and this has 10k truly shows how ridiculous the division has gotten. Unfortunately things will likely get much worse before they get better.

*God bless Spain, Ireland, Norway recognise Palestine. next follows, USA, UK, Germany recognise Palestine 🤲*

i missed you mr ibxtoycat

The countries that don't recognize Israel are not "petty". They are either Muslim countries that don't recognize Israel for religious reasons, or Communist countries that don't recognize Israel because the US supports it. State of Judea is not a thing, I never heard of it before this video.

Toycat? I didnt know this channel was a thing! Goated Cat! Im going to norway as soon as possible cause i cant support this zios bullsht, and i like the cold!

I'm excited for your election analysis

Somaliland

i dont think the middle east will get rid of conflict ever. like until the end of humanity. when oil runs dry and water becomes sparce, conflicts will only get worse. maybe through mass extinction when the population drops by drastic percentages there are too few people to have serious conflicts, but normally i dont think there will ever be peace.

Hey @toycat, I found your doppelgänger. He’s an Indy 500 race driver named Colton Herta.

Maybe North korea recognises only palestine because it's in a similar position itself, having a neighbour that is much more technologically advanced than itself. If it recognised both Israel and Palestine, it could basically set the precedent that they are happy with sharing. Which they are not.

Extremely common and welcome W to Spain, Ireland and Norway.

The real issue is New Zealand isn’t recognised by Kazakstan.

Israel actually entered into diplomatic relations with Bhutan quite recently, (and also the United Arab Emirates) so that map is a bit outdated.

Well Kosovo at least isn't really comparable. Kosovo wants to take a part of Serbia and make it independent, while Palestine has really always been there, just occupied. If anything, Israel's existence is more comparable to Kosovo, they took massive parts of Palestine and made a country out of it. And Taiwan doesn't really claim to be an independent country, they just claim to be the rightful rulers of all of China. Another thing is that you say callign Israel not a country is "pety" but calling Palestine not a country is just "getting closer to being pety", why isn't it pety already? Also in 12:40, no lmao they did it with Israel's permission, that's the whole point, place settlers there so you can annex the West Bank. And to make it harder for Palestine to become independent (Which is why the obviously best option is one Palestine where everyone is equal instead of jews being superior)

Free free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Israel should recognize Catalonia. That would be sweet karma.

you look healthy cat

It's such a tragedy that the cradle of both, the Christian and Muslim influenced parts of the World is in such turmoil. It used to be a place of philosophers and leaders, now it's basically rubble, hate and misery. It should be a flourishing peaceful place for historians and scholars, as well as the people as a whole.

thanks for somehow not angering anyone when you talk about political issues and being silly at the same time, keep it up :)

Toycat...seriously.... Israel's ideal end state is not an autonomous Palestine within its borders, its zero palestine. Its not like they haven't kicked people out and settled land before.

It's so interesting how which countries are recognized, and which are considered a rebellion, say so much about the politics of a country. As a Norwegian it has bothered me for a while that we didn't recognize Palestine as a country.

The Finnish must stop the … Sorry Toycat missed the explanation, going crazy trying to figure it out.

For what? My only impression of Norway is Nord Stream 2. These hypocrites never spoke for Taiwan, a real oppressed country.

Everyone who is like "what about Kosovo" or "what about West-Sahara" don't realize that inter-imperial rivalries and who you are allied with have greatly reduced the power of supra-national institutions, and just because this is happening for Palestine now does not diminish the need for recognition in other areas. The UN needs to be more effective and I can see it becoming so through the current crisis.

What about independent Hong Kong

10:32 map is wrong Mauritania withdrew their recognition of Israel

Major W

Spain foreign policy is "what Pedro Sánchez thinks will give him votes that week" if Israel does a little PR campaign, Pedro Sánchez will say all Palestine should be Israel territory like he did for Western Sahara.

Israel we support 2 state solution but when Ireland recognise Palestine Israel doesn’t like now what else evidence we what that Israel want whole of Palestine

Sweden did it 2014. 🇸🇪

This video was so middle-of-the-road that it became pro-Israel. The word 'genocide' was not mentioned a single time, even though that's what it objectively is.

Minecraft makes more sense than the real world

Based

The phrase "settled in west Bank without Israel's permission " is doing a lot of work there. If only history has some other examples of moving a bunch of families onto a bit of land and to claim it as your own.

0:40 Unless your name is Rhett Mclaughlin, am I right?

Israel should recognize Catalonia and Basque Country.

How does this effect toycats legacy?

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 love u toycat

*EHEM RECONQUISTA EHEM*

Belgium is not real country

airfryer

0:27 - it's not just a large portion of the world, it's almost all of the world

usually when someone talks about "historical lands" it's usually just bs. and the further back in time are those "correct borders" (which palestine has never had) the bigger is the bs. i'm for palestinian state, but they need to be forced to recognize israel instead.

The United States should recognize Catalonia

Ah yes. Taiwan, the People’s Republic of China, lol. 6:55

If the moslem world never make an acquisition for Kosovo existence so don't be daydreaming about the "Palestine" they're talking about!

i not recognition of Palestinian state

ibx can you talk about the situation in pointland

But those "exisiting" people drove out the past inhabitants, which were ethnic jews. The muslim caliphates completely pushed back judaism to the fringes of europe. Palestinians are just leftoever ottoman remnants

W

wasn't it called west bank or smth?

Spain should recognize California

I support Palestine but I don’t really recognize it as a country. They are kind of controlled in every manner

tbf .. all this is rooted in a "spiritual connection" to a land.. wich was the reason jews wanted to move there. I dont agree with religious reasons for formation of nations, i feel religion causes only strife as seen in this example too. The jews fled the ww2 holocaust for obvious reasons, but why move to an equally hostile place in the middle of a bees nest? they knew they werent welcome down there yet they kept migrating there. That i dont get because .. there were alot of countries ready to accept jews afterwards! but due to spirituality they insisted on THAT region. Its dumb because its opening an ancient can of worms that were mostly settled 1300 years prior .. so, i will conclude that the reason for the hostilities around israel is basicly because of the zionist movement itself.

Hello from Norway. I rescind the recognition.

the only objective and reasonabIe solution is a paIestinian state lead by the PaIestinian Authority based on the 1967 borders. Disagreeing with this essentially means you support complete Israeli coIonisation of PaIestine which would result in endless confIict with MusIim countries around the globe.

But they wouldn't recognize Catalonia.

Let's get weird, gang.

Time to recognise Catalonia

S. I. N. is based

3:35 Israel embraced Hamas’ election so that they can treat that piece of land with hostility. I am not verbatim quoting Noam Chomsky, but that is what he said. He is also a Jewish man who is highly intelligent.

My respect to Spain, Ireland, and Norway 📉📉📉

Great, disappointed to be a Norwegian now.

nice

There are so many problems with this. First off the prerequisite for statehood is that you DEFINE YOUR BORDERS. Palestine refuses to do this for several reasons, one of them is that the main idea of most Palestinians is that the idea of Palestine (according to Hamas for instancance) is NOT a geographically defined state but a Jilafa which is like a "Califate of the mind" meaning it can be wherever and preferably everywhere. Secondly it should come after NATIONBUILDING and thirdly it should not come as a reward for terrorism.

Israel is not a typo man.

Palestine is a region named by the Romans to offend the Jews after the second revolt in the first century AD. When the Ottoman Empire controlled the area, it had a different name (two districts) for about 600 years (1299 until 1918). The current, resurrected name is unrelated to the actual people living there - since they are just Arabs. The original people (Philistines) haven't lived there since the 6th century BC since the Babylonian Empire removed them. Gaza was once part of Egypt and the West Bank was once part of Jordan. The land in question, historically, has just been a mixture of Arab, Christian, and Jewish settlements and homes with various empires controlling the area. There hasn't really been a concept of "countries" in that area until the 20th century. There were city-states, then small kingdoms, then districts of larger empires, then Israel in 1948 with the other land part of other counties in the area. Having some historical context is important since both side are claiming history on their side with rather misleading maps and narratives. The question is how much weight do we place on the history argument? Should we make Russia give back lands formerly part of the Mongolian Empire? Sorta ironic considering Ukraine. I used to think a two-state solution could work but not anymore. There just needs to be one state granting equal rights for all citizens regardless of religion or ethnic background. Of the three (Israel, Hamas, and PLO) - only Israel is even sorta like a modern liberal democracy able to do that. The other two are repressive authoritarian or theocratic monsters - one worse than the other. Hamas would exterminate anyone that doesn't openly agree with their beliefs (so no Pride parades in Gaza). I do like the idea of an autonomous region that is still subject to the primary country - this is a common setup in other parts of the world. Of course, you'll always have those "freedom fighters" that want to setup their own version of a utopia even if that would be a living hell for everyone else. War sucks, but that's the nature of war. Israel is taking the Ender Wiggins approach to dealing with bullies. Hamas' entire purpose is to delete Israel off the map and anyone that disagrees with them. Right now, there is no end in sight. Both sides won't stop until the other no longer exists.

And do they recognize Kurdistan?

🙄

Future me does he support palestine in some way

100

Catalonia and Scotland are next for sure.

Amazing how fast my respect for 3 decent countries can plummet just from reading a title.
