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.
Seems like Palestine is being pushed into that sphere of influence by lack of support from western countries.
And how is joining the loser club going to help them? Do they really think Russia or China give a flying fuck about the Palestinian people? All they'll do is use them as props to criticise the West. Actually helping them would be counterproductive to their intentions
This is no kindergarden, there are no winner and loser clubs, only national interests and geopolitics. Membership is voluntary, so Palestine can chose whatever best serves their country.
Has the West has offered Palestine an alternative? Any alternative? Anything? The only thing we have offered them is perpetual subjugation and genocide. So what the fuck do you expect them to do?
What do they have to lose? The west still giving unconditional support to the terrorist state of israel
