Taiwan has a “far more robust” claim to statehood than Palestine does, former British prime minister Boris Johnson said during a conference in Taipei, Taiwan, according to a Tuesday report by British outlet The Telegraph….
“Never in the wildest dreams of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, can he have believed – when he and his colleagues instigated the horror of October 7, 2023 – that only 22 months later the United Kingdom itself would be so craven and pathetic as to fall for Hamas propaganda and to turn against Israel,” Johnson wrote in his column in the UK outlet Daily Mail on Friday.
“Never did Hamas imagine that London would be so easily manipulated as to conclude that the way to end the crisis was specifically to reward Hamas for its mayhem by tearing up its long-standing policy and officially recognising the state of Palestine,” he added.
“From next month we are going to recognise this territory, at least partly controlled by Hamas, as a fully-fledged state – like France, or the United States,” he continued.
“By recognising Palestine, the UK government is effectively claiming that Palestine is an entity with recognised borders, even though those borders are, of course, very far from clear, and the UK is claiming that Palestine has a viable government, when that government is actually shared between Fatah and Hamas, and Hamas, in case you have forgotten, is a psychotic Islamofascist death cult that treats women as second-class citizens and throws gays off rooftops,” he stated.
“We thought it was worthwhile to rid the world of a homicidal Islamist death cult, and we were right. It was awful, but we could see no other way. In the end, it worked, and in the end – grim though things now seem – the Israeli operation will work in Gaza,” Johnson added….

Where was this Boris, when we needed him?
Taiwan is the seat of the legitimate government of China.
Right where was this when he mattered.
When he was PM.
This statement reminds us that there are still many good Brits, despite the fact that their traitorous governments have Sold them out to the IslamoNazi invasion. We wish the good people well! (Where can they go for safety? USA, Canada, Australia all have some very serious IslamoNazi dangers now...)
Looks like BoJo the Clown is trying to stir up another war, with lots more dead people.
“(Where can they go for safety? USA, Canada, Australia all have some very serious IslamoNazi dangers now...)”
Arabs better keep in mind our citizens own guns. and we were trained how to use them.
But probably still not as good a claim to statehood as the Kurds, like them or not.
Netanyahu bugged my bathroom, Boris Johnson suggests.
Boris Johnson hints Netanyahu left a listening device in his bathroom during 2017 visit.
The fascist angelino97 won’t cite this old one but will pick and choose:
JD Vance once compared Trump to Hitler. Now...
15 Jul 2024 — Publicly, he called the Republican businessman an “idiot” and said he was “reprehensible.” Privately, he compared him to Adolf Hitler.

Zelya, the Green Goblin.
understood
it looks as if you may get that opportunity, too (alas!)
Carrie told him to say this?
Of course it does because it is a state, a country.
If it’s not a country, the only other possibility is it’s a US holding, a Japanese island surrendered in the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1951 which the US still retains authority over.
“ Taiwan is the seat of the legitimate government of China.”
I liked that idea, but it just wasn’t ever true, or if it was it expired with the passage of time.
Taiwan was part of Japan and was surrendered after their defeat in WWII
Really has nothing to do with China except the Chinese government was able to escape there when they lost to the communists.
They became a minority one party dictatorship that ruled over the Taiwanese, who’d left China centuries ago, analogous to Europeans going the US.
Taiwan is a country and we should recognize it.
