Palestine is expected to submit its application to join the BRICS, a group of emerging economies, after its upcoming summit in October in the city of Kazan, southwestern Russia.

Earlier, Putin invited Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to attend the BRICS summit in Kazan.

“This invitation means that despite all the crimes, killings and destruction in the Gaza Strip, our message is that Palestine wants to live and to develop,” Ambassador Nofal added.

BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. In January, it welcomed Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE as full members.

    Israel is committing a genocide. The world is letting it happen. The US is supplying them with weapons and has a ten year weapons contract with them that was signed in 2016.

    Fixed it for ya.

      How is that a fix? You added weight to my argument.

      “The world” is not letting it happen though. The USA were the only country to veto the 2 cease-fire Security Council resolutions early in the conflict, only to later propose a washed down, toothless resolution.

      The USA remains silent over the ICJ’s ruling after South Africa’s genocide case.

      The USA are the ones slapping Netanyahu on the wrist but still supplying him with weapons, money and intelligence.

      The fact that it’s a 10 year contract has nothing to do with the issue. Surely your weapons and money being used to perpetrate a genocide would be reason enough to breach the contract, if there was political will. The problem is, there isn’t.

        Quick question for ya, do you blame gun manufacturers for school shootings?

          Are you trying to compare the USA selling missiles to Israel to Glock producing pistols? And a troubled teenager with a gun to a genocidal maniac?

            Answer the question. It’s very simple. It’s yes, or no.

              I’d be willing to entertain you if the question was related to the thread at all but I don’t see how it is.

                It is, you know it is. You just don’t like the outcome of it because it doesn’t fit your narrative. It’s ok though, you do you. I’m done unless you answer the question.

                  It’s not, you know it isn’t. You just don’t like the outcome of it because you’re already left with no arguments and are clutching at fallacious straws. It’s ok though, you do you. You’re either a troll or just not very good at arguing your point. Either way, you have been blocked as I have better things to do with my time.
