In this episode of the Stand 4 Palestine Podcast, we explore the latest wave of European countries -- and Australia -- recognising a Palestinian state, placing it in the context of a century of developments. We cover the history from Sykes-Picot and Balfour to the Nakba, the political theatre of the revived Two-State Solution, and what is needed for ultimate liberation of Palestine.Topics of discussion include:•⁠ ⁠The century-long colonial context of “recognition”•⁠ ⁠Why Europe is moving now, and the implication of these symbolic gestures•⁠ ⁠What's a "state" anyway?•⁠ ⁠The political theatre of the Two-State Solution revival•⁠ ⁠Arab regimes’ betrayal of the Palestinian cause•⁠ ⁠What true Palestinian liberation demandsFollow us on our socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stand4palestineaus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stand4uyghursaustraliaSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Gg1DQ6oi1oOleKvJnA3o8WhatsApp: bit.ly/S4P_WA0:00 – Australia’s Link to Gaza Strike & Episode Kickoff2:20 – Why Countries Are Suddenly Recognising Palestine6:37 – The West’s Real Motives & What “Statehood” Really Means15:31 – From Ottoman Rule to the Balfour Declaration20:03 – Partition Plans, the Nakba & Israel’s Birth27:53 – Six-Day War, Borders & Neighbouring Arab States38:53 – Camp David, Oslo & the Rise of the Palestinian Authority45:02 – Abraham Accords, Betrayal & the Road to October 748:07 – Is the Two-State Solution Dead?
