European countries are sending a dangerous message: support for the October 7 massacre, and encouragement to carry out even more bloodshed. And for the first time we have proof.
I was in Spain last month and a discussion came up about “Palestina”. I am a Christian who is also a Zionist (thanks to Einat Wilf’s persuasive arguments).
Most Christians (especially Catholics) are very uninformed regarding the situation in the Middle East. It doesn’t help that our late Pontiff, Francis, made ridiculous statements (and don’t get me started on the keffiyeh wearing baby Jesus).
I explained why the Arabs do not have a claim to a state. I also explained that any suffering of the Christian community is squarely on the shoulders of Hamas and, by extension, the Palestinian Authority. The narrative in the media is such that even intelligent people who support Israel blame Israel for all the suffering of the civilians.
I don’t know if I persuaded a change of position in these friends, but they at least listened and asked questions.
Some of the positions ordinary folks take is buying the narrative and some of it is just plain old Jew hatred. I think Macron has lost his mind (if he ever had one) and Pedro Sanchez (Spain’s PM) is a jackass.
This has been the long-standing strategy of Palestinians for over a century: I'm reading the official IDF history of the War of Independence (Edge of the Sword: Israel's War of Independence, by Col. N. Lorch) and from 1921 onward, the Palestinian response to every diplomatic initiative was to riot and commit terrorist attacks.
It almost worked: in March, 1948 the US Ambassador to the UN gave a speech asking for the Partition Commission to freeze its work until violence subsided.
OMG do these countries think that appeasing the Muslims will keep them safe from Muslim violence? They have no idea what they’ve just done, the Intifada will be on steroids because they will think domination will be easy. They don’t realize Christians are next prey after Jews. These countries are over. If Turkey is head of the Caliphate, they will be vacuumed into the neo-Ottoman empire.

So if they are an independent state, let them produce their own electricity, clean water, medical treatment and employment, etc. Not Israel. 0%.
Embarrassed to be from Englandistan.
How can anyone recognize something that doesn’t exist? It says a lot about our leaders.

Lammy and Macron are deluded and very dangerous. I feel the hand of hidden bad actors in this.
There is no palestinian state to recognize.
The UK and France are still trapped in the Mandate era... They are the Palestinian people's true enemies.
Both imbeciles still believe in nirvana.
It’s just chatter. They don’t have the balls.
