The US single-handedly blocked the UN from recognizing Palestine by vetoing a draft resolution in the Security Council that recommended that “the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the UN.” With 12 council members voting yes, a clear majority voted in favor; only the UK and Switzerland abstained.

Meanwhile, 139 of the 193 UN member states already recognize Palestine, virtually all of the world safe for the Global North and its closest allies.

Even in the EU, several countries are set to recognize Palestine soon. Since 2012, the Palestinians have been a non-member observer state to the UN, a de facto recognition of statehood granted by the UN General Assembly.

However, the Security Council and then at least two-thirds of the General Assembly must approve an application to become a full member of the world body.

The Palestinian push for full membership came six months into Israel’s devastating war of extermination against the Gaza Strip, and as Israel is expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank, which the UN already considers to be illegal.

we need more representation in media for people who are just dogshit at improvising snappy one liners. too many characters these days can come up with the smartest funniest thing to say in any given situation with zero rehearsal or hesitation and it's just not realistic. we need more guys who say shit like "yeah, well, um, how about you, uh, suck my dick?"

petition to bring back saying "huzzah!" when something goes your way and "alas." when it doesn't

people are way too comfortable being dismissive of children and teenagers. if a toddler comes up to you and starts explaining skibidi toilet lore or if a 13 year old asks you if you want to hear about their mha ocs you have to listen with utmost sincerity or at least pretend to. this is the only way you will get into heaven.

au where zuko's wanted posters are absolutely EVERYWHERE when him and iroh are refugees. to the point where everyone is keeping an eye out for the boy with a scar over his eye. so in an effort to disguise himself, zuko is to wear a wound cover over his eye and pretend to be a woman. and he makes a very pretty girl. he avoids talking too much to avoid suspicion, but it's not too difficult considering how quiet he is already. is this all just convoluted reasons to make zuko crossdress as a pretty girl? yes. do i just want to see sokka trip over himself over this pretty girl? also yes!

Concept: Zuko feels gender euphoria for the first time ever while crossdressing as a fugitive. Iroh is just as doting as an uncle and Zuko goes red with embarrassed happiness when Iroh tells the townsfolk how proud he is of his "beautiful niece" :')

Meanwhile Sokka is having his own revelations when he realises exactly who the pretty "earth kingdom" girl he's been talking to really is

ID: Map showing which countries recognize Palestine as a state. The title reads "Recognition of Palestine." Most of Asia, Africa, Central and South America and Eastern Europe are highlighted in yellow, which means "Recognize". Sweden and Iceland is also highlighted in yellow. Ireland, Spain and Slovenia are in red, "Soon to recognize". Notable countries in grey, "Don't Recognize", include: Canada, USA, Mexico, UK and Western Europe, Myanmar, South Korea, Japan and Australia.

At the bottom is the colour key and text reading: Source: World Population Review, Permanent Observer Mission of The State of Palestine to the United Nations New York. END ID

Here's a link to an interactive map & more information from the same source

Y'all ever open a book on a new subject, read a little bit, and have to put it back so you can process the way in which your mind was just expanded?
