The same legal scholars who would never question Israel’s right to exist as a state - despite its own contested borders, ongoing military occupation, and complex governance issues - are suddenly very concerned about technical legal criteria when it comes to Palestinian statehood.

It's been awhile but I poked my head in to have a look at Micro.blog's Discover page and I'm so glad that there is a safe space for mostly white upper middle class men to share about their lives.
