As expected, Israel has blamed the mass shooting here in Australia on the government for recognising Palestine.
I'd suggest the fault be laid at the feet of Israel for trying to obliterate Palestine.
That's probably pissed off more people than a country giving recognition to another.

Once fair elections are gone, the only way to regain democracy will be war, either an underground insurgency or full blown armed warfare. I see no other alternative. The founders understood the price paid for freedom, too bad most Americans forgot.

The world is far off track from its climate goals, scientists and environmental groups warn - The Weather Network
Martin Kaiser, head of Greenpeace Germany, told dpa the Paris Agreement remained a global compass for climate policy but said it would only stay relevant if major economies, particularly the G20, closed the gap between ambition and action.

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

ROSIE: You've now lost two MPs to the Liberal Party... Is this a problem of your leadership?
POILIEVRE: No, it's a problem of Mark Carney's leadership that after Canadians clearly rejected a costly Liberal majority... he is trying to manipulate his way through backroom deals.
