    What Dems think about Palestine is Us domestic politics with no consequence to outside world.

    Trump acts on behalf of US and US terrorist organisation designation has international consequences.

        For one, according to US law you can only designate a foreign organisation as a terrorist one. Secondly, it usually means US will start extraterritorial and extrajudicial killing of foreign nationals.

          We know trump is not respecting laws

          Secondly, it usually means US will start extraterritorial and extrajudicial killing of foreign nationals.

          This is just your interpretation

            Even more reason to worry but has no bearing on international newsworthiness.

            This is just your interpretation

            Rest of the world says „hi”.

        In general I think speech is rarely newsworthy because it’s the actions that matter. Speech of someone in power can be newsworthy but speech of a politician that has no means of changing things is just domestic politics that should be contained to dedicated spaces, otherwise we drown in irrelevant noise.
