In response to Recognition of Palestine a neocolonial-feel good gesture

Recognition of Palestine matters-II

In answer to Margaret Callinan’s comment on my article, the current debate is not about recognising Palestine as a nation, but about recognising it as a state. There is a difference.

The Australian Government’s recognition proposal limits the borders of the state of Palestine to Gaza and the West Bank. That is what is wrong in principle and a “colonialist imposition”.
