Canada follows France and UK with plan to recognise Palestinian state

TONY SAYS:
So, listen to this bullshit. Canada, right? Canada – the land of hockey and maple syrup – is jumpin’ on the Palestinian state bandwagon. September, they say. Like it’s a goddamn hockey game, schedule it and bam, there ya go. Mark Carney, this guy, the Prime Minister or whatever they call him up there, spilled the beans.
(Takes a long sip of espresso, stares out the window for a moment)
This whole thing… it’s a fuckin’ mess, just like that veal parmesan I had at that new joint on Bleecker – looked good, but the sauce was too sweet, ya know? This whole “Palestinian state” thing, it’s been goin’ on for years, decades even, like a bad cold that just won’t go away. Everybody's talkin' about it, but nobody's doin' shit.
Now, the UK’s doin’ the same thing – they're jumpin' in too, unless Israel does this and that. France? They were already there. It’s like a goddamn feeding frenzy, these guys are all rushin’ to be the first to get the leftovers, leaving Israel lookin' like a plate of cold spaghetti.
Carney says it’s because of the situation in Gaza, all the suffering. Yeah, sufferin’, I get it. He even talked to that Abbas guy, the Palestinian president. Musta been a real heartwarming conversation, full of hugs and handshakes. Probably traded recipes, too. I bet they have some good stuff over there.
(Chuckles darkly)
But he also says it depends on these “democratic reforms.” Elections, this and that. Hamas, they’re the problem, apparently. These guys, they’re like a bad rash – you scratch one spot, another one pops up. You gotta get rid of the whole thing, you understand? Like a garbage disposal. You gotta just… dispose of it all.
And Israel, they’re not happy. The foreign ministry called it a “reward for Hamas.” Reward? These guys are terrorists, they’re launching rockets, killin’ people. A reward? That's like sayin' a reward for a rat that just infested your kitchen is a gourmet cheese platter. It's completely insane. They're not wrong to be pissed, though. It’s a double-cross from these other countries, like a rat’s kiss.
(leans forward conspiratorially)
147 out of 193 UN countries already recognize Palestine. So, what’s the big deal? This whole thing smells fishy to me. It's like that time Paulie Walnuts tried to sell me a stolen car – looked shiny on the outside, but underneath… a total piece of shit. Who knows what’s really going on here. Politics, eh? More complicated than a goddamn Soprano family reunion. But you know what? This ain’t gonna solve anything, and if I had to guess, this whole thing's gonna end worse than a cannoli with no ricotta.
(Takes another sip of espresso, a thoughtful expression on his face)
They’re saying this two-state solution ain’t workin’ anymore. The prospect of a Palestinian state is eroding, they say. Sounds familiar. Like that time that whole business with the garbage disposal went sour... And you know what? Maybe they’re right. Maybe there’s no easy answer. Maybe it’s just a whole lotta shit, and we’re all just stuck in it. But one thing's for sure, this ain't over, capisce? Not by a long shot.
