The second image in the lead is showing the list of countries who recognised Palestine after the episode in question. Based on the title, you need the list of countries who recognised before.

And yes, we recognised them in 1988.

simply put, i thought it'd be more interesting to do it that way

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

mine was in 2011

My country was one of the first. It also recently recognized Israel as well. Everyone I know is protesting the latter.

Spoiler: it's Morocco.

Funny thing: they did so in exchange for other countries recognizing their annexation of the Western Sahara. Their own little Palestine

It was just one country, really.

I love when shows have subtle nods to show their support for these things rather than having to draw as much attention as possible to how progressive they are being

Here we are 23 years later learning about this, it’s kind of making the nostalgia around this show shine again.

The list from english wikipedia says my country (Brazil) only recognised Palestine in 2010

But in portutugese wikipedia it is said we've recognised them since 1975.

I don't know which one is right, so.

Portuguese Wikipedia

I misunderstood the line that says "O Brasil se soma a uma lista de mais países que reconhecem o Estado Palestino,(...)Reconhecendo também a Organização para a Libertação da Palestina (OLP), desde 1975 como "legítima representante do povo palestino"." as meaning we've recognised the state of Palestine officially since '75

Apparently, according to the govbr site OP linked in reply to me above, stuff is a bit more complicated than that but ye.

It seems that relations started in 1975, but formal recognition commenced in 2010:

This episode is going to be put on more blocklists than the Teletubbies bear now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure I have a French language DVD of that specific Teletubbies episode. Pirated too.

And yes, it's only that episode.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uhhh, teletubbies bear? Blocklist?

The Lion and Bear – a masterpiece in horror without even trying

At the bottom of the article the video is linked. The audio team was having a field day with this one.

Yeah, I could see how it could be off-putting for children...

Did they put the Chad flag right next to the Romanian flag?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I thought it's just Romania, twice.

baited

or should I say, Barbaited!

it seems like they used the wrong colors if they intended to draw Barbados though, otherwise I couldn't find an exact match.

Maybe it's the flag of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party? Maybe that cartoon was openly defending the right for Iraq to get WMDs?
