Those countries you mention mostly due so due to either ideological reasons since for most part they are ruled by leftist or either populist. It has nothing to do with them supporting Palestine for morality reasons..else why don't they support other movements the who have been fighting for independence and their own statehood the same way? Why not support the Kurds who have been fighting for their own statehood and being repressed for doing so for decades? Why not support the people of western Sahara who have been fighting for their own freedom and statehood against Morocco invane for decades now? Why not the people of Co go who have been going through far worse(over 6million deaths already a d millions more displaced) than Palestinian can ever do yet nobody in the international community even talks much about them lol Etc etc. There are many such cases globally. So it's not just about morality and consoderation of human lives here, they also have other reasons for doing so.
BS! First you said something like countries do only for Geopolitical reasons and when you can't find a real Geopolitical reason as to why Colombia, Ireland, South Africa etc are supporting Palestine so vocally and so much against their own interests, now you bring 'ideology'?? Read carefully: You are negating your own narrative. My narrative is that there INDEED are ideological reasons which go beyond Geopolitical interests. There are ideological reasons the Israel Firsters Jews in America and the Evangelical Christians support Israel as there are ideological reason a distant Indonesia strongly supports Palestinians. That they do more for Palestinians/Israelis respectively vs other regions doesn't make a difference: Some 'Causes' are worth more supporting, ideologically speaking!
