the Internet is yet to recognize New Zealand
Well, might as well start here. Do you recognize it?
But we finally have data on Western Sahara
And many dozens cheered
Wait wait wait wait. I know I've been surprised by this map numerous times.
BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?
Also looking at this map, it seems the majority of the population of Earth recognizes it.
So in my head, that means that Palestine is 100% a nation. With sovereignty. And the US, Europe, and Australia are still "lalala i can't hear you" and "can't be a genocide if you aren't a targeted group of people that we recognize lalalalala."
Back when they were a communist nation, they and most other communist/aligned countries recognized them.
Commies are cool, as it turns out.

Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.

Funny how the only "good communists" to liberals are the ones that fail and die.

People think we are the civilized ones when in reality we are just savages with nukes.

Myanmar seems like an odd gap. A quick search just seems to say Myanmar and Israel have a long diplomatic history and some minor arms sales?
Well Myanmar is run by a military dictatorship that murders, disappears and tortures civillians, and has an ongoing public resistance against it since a few years.
When Iran was ruled by the Shah Israel were best buddies and help arm and train his army and intelligence. Guess what they did: murder, disappear and torture tens of thousands of civillians.
When South Africa was still an Apartheid state, Israel was also good friends with them. Guess what they did...

.....and Aotearoa/New Zealand falls off the map again. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
TIL of Aotearoa, thanks for sharing. That's a bad-ass name, NZ should switch back to that.
Given our stance it's probably for the best this time.

I'm surprised that there's so many countries who recognize Palestine. Is this a recent development?
no, the communist bloc and non-aligned countries recognised palestine in opposition to the western bloc's support of israel, right when palestine declared its independence in 1988
Typical feddit.org account

Just as the scribes at the Burger Eagle Institute predicted
Isn't Malta like the last Crusader state? Pretty sure the knights of malta have some sort of UN special observer status.
Knights of Malta do have an observer status in the UN, but they're unrelated to the Republic of Malta, which the post is about.

ok but why is it orange?
Isn't that just the gum that the boot is about to step on after kicking Sicily?
