In a collective swirl of international goodwill—or delayed hipster bandwagoning—several Western nations have finally recognized Palestine, eliciting applause from Palestinians who’ve long been standing in the diplomatic hallway waiting for a friendly nod. Though the exact countries weren’t named, considering the slow crawl of global politics, this recognition feels like that awkward moment when you realize everyone’s waiting for Old White Men In Suits to RSVP to the party they never wanted to throw anyway. Critics might say the gesture is more symbolic than practical, but hey, at least it’s a step up from late-stage capitalism where nations just swipe corporate bailout cards without so much as a courtesy wave.
