Son of Hamas, Mossab Hassan Yousef: “if they did not have Israel as a common enemy, they would kill each other”

The vast majority of Brits are unaware that Palestinian identity is a fiction invented solely to destroy Israel and steal from the Jews their own history in the land. They are unaware that even the supposedly moderate Palestinian Authority is committed to the destruction of Israel, makes heroes out of terrorists…

Melanie Phillips: The fantasy state of ‘Palestine’

 

This week, France, the UK, Australia, Canada and some others recognized a Palestinian state as punishment for Israel. They hardly even pretend that Palestine meets the criteria for statehood. Instead they use recognition as a political statement against the Israeli war effort.

“Why are all these countries recognizing Palestine now?” Hamas Politburo member Ghazi Hamad asked on Al Jazeera. “The fruits of Oct. 7” – the 2023 massacre that he vows to repeat – “are what caused the world to open its eyes to the Palestinian cause.” Slaughter Jews, hold hostages long enough, use enough Gazans as human shields, and you get your own state.

The 2000-year-old dream of restoring Jewish sovereignty in Israel’s heartland is on the table in a way it has never been before.

Israel’s Knesset has passed motions in support of Israeli sovereignty by a large margin. Israel understands that it will likely never face a US Administration as supportive as the Trump Administration.

One can declare the creation of anything but it’s the facts on the ground that matter. Even without declaring full sovereignty, there are many measures Israel can take to ensure that this Western dream doesn’t become the Middle East’s nightmare.

How will the West react?

Europe is a toothless tiger. They will huff and puff but what are they going to do, expel Israel from Eurovision? File another case with the International Criminal Court? Antisemitism is already surging and Jews, whether they are from Israel or not, are being attacked in European cities.

Australia is the same. The most anti-Israel government in our history already denies visas to Israelis and Jews regularly and synagogues are firebombed. What else can they threaten?

The lesson that Israelis learned from the West’s response to October 7 is that the West’s hypocritical attacks on Israel are divorced from the Jewish State’s action. Even before Israel had responded to the October 7 massacre, it was being accused of genocide and starvation.

For security reasons alone, Israelis will never agree to the creation of a Palestinian State towering over Tel Aviv. In effect, the West is declaring that October 7 was Palestinian Independence Day. Rewarding Hamas with a state only guarantees future wars and bloodshed.

Australia’s decision is a disgrace. But in the long run, it may prove a blessing in disguise. By stripping away the illusions of Western support, it forces Israel to do what victorious nations must always do after unprovoked attacks: secure their borders, assert their sovereignty, and ensure that defeat has permanent consequences for the aggressor.

Hamas regularly demonstrates that it doesn’t care about casualties, civilian or otherwise, but the permanent loss of land will serve as a deterrent for future wars.

On October 7, Israel’s enemies tried to wipe the Jewish State off the map. Since then, Israel has stunned the world by decapitating Hezbollah, striking Iran’s nuclear program and eliminating terrorist leaders from Gaza to Yemen. Today, Israel stands stronger than ever. The time has come to translate that strength into decisive action. Judea and Samaria are not bargaining chips. They are the heart of Israel, and their future must be secured once and for all.
