Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Right but between recognizing Palestine or not recognizing Palestine, wouldn't recognizing it be better?

If it stops the genocide, sure. If it distracts everyone from the fact that they're still supporting a nation doing genocide then nah.

What do you feel it does?

It's been one day. So far it's done nothing. I'm gonna give it maybe a month, but if these countries' aid to Israel doesn't stop by then, I'll know it was an empty gesture. I'm not going to consider this a job well done unless they give me reason to. I'm not really in the habit of giving nations the benefit of the doubt.

I was more wondering why people don't consider this better than nothing. Imo this is at worst an empty gesture.

From my first comment:

If it distracts everyone from the fact that they're still supporting a nation doing genocide then nah.

If it's a distraction or an attempt to placate people and get them to stop caring about genocide in Palestine, it's worse than an empty gesture.

I want to believe it's better than nothing, but I won't let myself do that until these countries prove themselves.
