Yes, of course, but it's still the case that the UN in the past used “oPT” in places where it otherwise used country names (e.g., indicator tables), but now uses (State of) Palestine instead.
Indeed that neither contradicts nor changes the fact that it also recognises the territory of the State of Palestine to be illegally occupied.
The point was more that Trump is trying to re-litigate old questions while everyone else has already moved on.

Western Left silent as hundreds of Druze murdered
The left, which love repeating rumors of starvation in Gaza and killing of Palestinians, are completely silent when it comes to the murder of the Druze minority in Syria by Iran backed Islamists.
"The Druze are an indigenous, Arab minority in the Levant. Like Jews, unless attacked, they are a people who overwhelmingly live in peace within their respective countries (mainly Lebanon, Israel, and Syria). Druze are being targeted in large part because they are a significant, non-Islamic minority – one of the last – in Syria."

This is just the western trend of having no standards or even civilizational ability to apply standards to any behavior combined with everyone's internalized stereotype of a deranged fan with no sense of reality that they project on EVERYTHING that is not coated with a thick veneer of disgusting irony. The entire value of the vtuber puppet show is that with the masquerade, a woman can stop being self-conscious and actually be charming. It is why doxxing a chuuba should have the same death penalty littering in a park ought to. Westerners are fucking stupid in this regard and will shout "you go girl" to the most repulsive behavior the way japs will do the same for femdom and abusive behavior.

In the Sixties young Germans asked their parents how they could have let that happen what everybody knew but only few people tried to fight - the annihilation of German and European Jews in extermination camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau or Treblinka. They often excused themselves answering that they couldn't know for sure what fate awaited their Jewish neighbours after being deported.
Today it's even less credible if people evade into alleging not to know what the Palestinians in Gaza have to endure. Today we have comments in legacy media whose authors openly talk about a genocide happening and people dying by hunger due to the systematic cutting off of life saving ressources.
Will the governments who support Israel in ignoring basic human rights and international law one day held accountable? Western Germany had a lot of Nazis personally responsible for the Holocaust and NS-fascism who not only got off the hook of criminal persecution but who were rewarded for their past as NS-functionaries with high positions in the administrative apparatus and legal institutions of the Bundesrepublik. They could enjoy their pensions while communists who were fighting the Nazis got nothing and were politically repressed even by being jailed again.
Politicians and companies complicit with this genocide will pobably not be prosecuted either - there will be another war or catastrophe even worse than today in whose shadow all will be lost and forgotten ...
"I want to be clear – what is being done to Palestinians in Gaza is barbaric and entirely preventable. I cannot believe we have come to a point where the world is watching as the people of Gaza are forced to endure starvation and gunfire, all while food and medical aid sits across the border just miles away from them."

If you notice, all other attacks Jews commit in the region only aims at stealing more (or) Buying more time in order to destroy, kill, steal in Gaza
They only stop when criminals in West who are aiding Jews commit genocide are forced to pay some price
Everything else wont do jack shit
Jews are going to commit more attacks, in Syria/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/some other place,in bed with West(full cooperation),as long as it takes
Fuck. The. Jews.
As soon as they attacked Lebanon, some of us (understandably) shifted focus away from Gaza to look at both of these
As soon as they started attacks on Iran, most of us (understandably) shifted focus away from Gaza & West Bank, moved to Iran, for obvious reasons
Jews are starting conflagration in Syria now to steal Syria too (why not, West + Jews + collaborators share in the fruits of Syria loss)
No bullshit "international conference"
(or) "UN" shameless collaboration with West (or) Flotillas (or) Any other pointless thing will make a difference
Only thing that changes the equation is forcing the criminals at the top in West to pay some serious price for what they are doing in bed with Jews
If they start Syrian conflagration, for the next few months/year, all of us will be talking the same shit that we have been talking for last 3 years
There will be morons who will
tell its "Not All Jews" & other morons who think "Its the Jews" is somehow beyond the pale & other useless shit.
There will be clueless who think they need to promote Jews as if anyone needs them to do jack shit except tiny few of them doing bullshit protecting their unjust privilges.
At this point of time, anything, even the worst things you say about Germans (most were Nazis/Nazi sympathizers) in 1930-40s are perfectly valid things
May be if you paid attention, you would have realized I said it for a while now while similar attacks were launched too
Repeating oneself doesnt mean its said the first time. Besides, even someone else learns something for first time, doesnt mean there is anything wrong with it.
So, you are off on all counts.
