Japan is finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state for the time being, following the lead of the United States, a staunch ally of Israel, government sources said.

The move is believed to stem from concerns that such recognition could negatively affect the situation in the Middle East, as well as Japan’s relationship with the United States, the sources said.

Hey Japan! You’ve got a little… orange stain on your lips gesticulates with a tissue

First things first: this should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Japanese politics. It’s been a far right genocide denying shit show for roughly ever.

Secondly, “finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine for the time being” sounds like the epitome of bureaucratic time wasting 😄

“Can’t talk, too busy! I’m hard at work planning for not doing a thing right now!”

Disappointed, but totally unsurprised

Vassal state says what?

Good.

Japan has been the bitch of the United States ever since they had those bombs dropped on them.

It’s important everyone knows who wears the pants in that relationship.

Sorry guys, but we’re the US’s little bitch. I can’t stand it, but it’s hard to say no to one our biggest trade partners and the guys who provide the nuclear umbrella.

Don’t rely too much on that umbrella being around when you actually need it though, certainly not if it’s Putin that decides Russia owns Japan based on some map drawn on a cave wall in 5000BC

And the US is Israel’s little bitch (and Russia on the DL). Oh how I’d like to show Bismarck how the turns have tabled

We’d get to AfD today and he’d be out the door to commission a gun that fires shoes and canes muttering something about “Twice?!?! Really?!”

Not surprised that a racist country would buy into a racist ideology at the behest of their daddy.

Are you telling me that the people who invented lolli are racist?

Reminder: kowtowing to fascists does not make life better. They are nothing but tiny dick bullies and insecure cowards, do not let their loud diarrhea mouths detract from that fact.

Consider them like terrorists, don’t negotiate.
