The countries in question:
Source: Wikipedia lol
Did they put the Chad flag right next to the Romanian flag?
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.
Now this is the kind of calling out we can get behind
“I’m Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimsdale Dimadome, and I recognize the country of Palesdome, er, Palestine”
Damn Canadian liberals need to get with the times and recognize Palestine 🇵🇸
sigh guess I need to go write another letter to my MP
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.
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?

Unexpected wholesome Butch Hartman?
With how he is, it’s more likely one of the animators slipped it in there and he didn’t notice. You can bet nickelodeon definitely didn’t notice.
Butch Hartman is a cunt
I agree, which is why it was really unexpected. I also agree with others here that it’s more likely a rogue animator perhaps snuck it in.
Agreed. I was just putting it out there.
whatd he do
I’m too high to Google it and I’m hearing mums voice and zipping in and out of sleep
Im a sleeby
reminder to self kinda
I followed that link fully prepared to watch the entire hour and a half video. I guess it has to be some YouTube conceit, but holy fuck that person narrating needs to fucking talk like a normal person. It sounds like they recorded a bunch of single lines, then spliced them all in like voiceovers in post, but it’s every single sentence. Or maybe they’re trying to talk like the text to speech TikTok voice?
Bros just saying some arbitrary factoid and sounds like he’s doing the overdub for a 90’s movie trailer.
I know she’s not great but illuminaughtii made a pretty informative video about this a few years back. I hope it wasn’t plagiarized from someone else.
Tldw: he became a far-right christian grifter.
Much appreciated, I can actually listen to this video without throwing my phone into a wall.
This episode is going to be put on more blocklists than the Teletubbies bear now.
Pretty sure I have a French language DVD of that specific Teletubbies episode. Pirated too.
And yes, it’s only that episode.
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.
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
First Arab country to do so, sad
Egypt. It’s Egypt.
Dammit Canada get your shit together and recognize Palestine
With how chunky the flags are it could just be Jordan
It’s possible, but even at that level of detail it would have been trivial to add a white dot and elongate the red triangle. I’m thinking they intended it to be Palestine.
I would like to add that it’s kinda rare for an United-stasian cartoon to put the Brazilian flag in a “bunch of world flags” scene. Damn, they went that far into putting it in the middle of the screen! That’s unusual!
(Mark my words, we will take over the world soon enough /jk)
Why wouldn’t you. Already own like 25% of the American continent.
Corruption.
You know what’s funny
I watched a video saying how corruption helps a country grow faster. It’s a specific type of corruption though: rich people asking politicians to create laws and make certain things happen.
The bad news is that 99% of people won’t benefit. Insert Pikachu face if you will.
I think it was video # 4 of this series https://youtu.be/Bc1lVZ_Bi08?si=d_lmdCDepDjF2cSz
That’s such a Kissinger frame of mind.
Order with injustice over justice with chaos (sic).
It would have been even more if the Pope could draw a straight line …
Historically the US have been a safe flace for the jewish community fleeing inquisition, nazism etc. That means that there is a really big jewish community in the US, which makes.it recognizing palestine an unpopular politic choice.
jewish community fleeing inquisition
I sure wan’t expecting this.
How so?
Jewish americans make up 2% of the population though?
Hi, jewish american here. I recognize Palistine, and I have a hard time understanding why “safe for jews” and “recognizing palistine” are mutually exclusive. Could you elaborate on that? Just so you know any answer involving Isreal I’m just going to call antisemetic since conflating jews and Isreal is antisemitic in the same way conflating China and chinese people is racist.
Other then the fact that its the state religion of Israel and the supposed location of some “promised” land.
What do jews in the rest of the world have to do with it.
Surely any decent human being regardless of cultural background understands that bombing schools and hospitals isn’t very neighborly.
Jewish people have no problems with the recognition of Palestine.
