In fealty to US foreign policy, Mexico has long refused to recognize Palestinian statehood. Last week, that finally changed, with AMLO’s government officially acknowledging Palestinian statehood and establishing a full embassy in Mexico City.

On June 2, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced that, as of the first of the month, it had reclassified its diplomatic mission in Mexico from special delegation to embassy. The ministry “expresses its firm conviction that this measure will contribute significantly to the . . . strengthening of relations between Mexico and the State of Palestine, on the basis of respect and mutual recognition, in benefit of our two peoples as well as international security and development,” it affirmed in a statement.

    What do you mean anti-semitism? Some comments were talking about both current crimes of the Israeli state against Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians that was committed at the birth of Israel as a contemporary state, and other comments were defending Israel. You can still see them in the moderation log. When you claim that denouncing ethnic cleasing is anti-semitism you’re spitting on the victims of the Holocaust.

      denouncing ethnic cleansing is fine, it’s just that there is no ethnic cleansing in israel to denounce ffs, just now there was a huge operation against terrorists in jenin in which not a single civilian died! when you denounce a non-existent ethnic cleansing… that’s anti-semitism

      edit: PS notice how the only ones banned were the ones defending israel
