Why are Carney and Starmer aligned on recognizing Palestine?
Both have:
* Similar internationalist, centrist-liberal worldviews.
* Pressure from their constituencies or allies to support a two-state solution.
* A shared framing of global diplomacy, in which state recognition is used as leverage & pressure tactic
Carney is part of the technocratic elite: pro-EU, pro-climate action, fiscally orthodox but socially progressive. Carney also endorsed Keir Starmer & Labour in 2024
@elston_ Israel tried the two state solution - voluntarily turning over Gaza to the homeless Palestinians that left Israel, complete with beautiful greenhouses and irrigation. The new inhabitants promptly destroyed it, and began complaining about Israel leaving them with shoddy living conditions.
The Palestinians that stayed in Israel are doing fine.
@truthbait Any lies detected?
Not buying the bullshit explanation that "Israel tried the two state solution". Bollocks!
Netanyahu sought to keep the Palestinian Authority weak while inadvertently strengthening Hamas—a tactic designed to assert that there was “no partner” for peace, thereby justifying continued Israeli unilateral actions and undermining Palestinian statehood prospects.

@elston_ @truthbait I know this part is true: "Netanyahu sought to keep the Palestinian Authority weak while inadvertently strengthening Hamas." I was saying at the time, it was playing with fire. Like Hawaii importing snakes to deal with the rats, and then mongoose to deal with the snakes. (There was an old woman who swallowed a fly ...)
I never liked Yasser, he's the Arab version of Bibi.
But FAFO is a two-edged sword. And Bibi has overplayed his hand.
There will be no peace until the Prince of Peace comes AGAIN.
Try to have your people ready this time.
