Rewarding Terror: The West Will Push For A Palestinian State This Fall

It defies logic. It defies justice. And it defies every ounce of moral clarity left in the free world.

Even as Israel continues to fight against Hamas--the same group that unleashed the most barbaric massacre of Jews since the Holocaust--world leaders are plotting how to reward the perpetrators' supporters with their very own state. A Palestinian state, they say. One that would exist side-by-side with Israel in "peace." But let's be honest: this is not diplomacy. This is delusion. It is appeasement. Worse--it is complicity with evil, wrapped in the language of "international consensus."

Speaking under the cloak of anonymity, a French diplomatic source has revealed that France will host an international summit in September aimed at rallying support for recognizing a Palestinian state. Let that sink in: While kidnapped civilians remain in Hamas' tunnels, and while rockets continue to fall--France is preparing to reward the society that cheered the bloodshed with full diplomatic honors.

This summit is not a move toward peace. It is an insult to justice. It sends a chilling message to the world: Terror pays.

Let's examine the moral absurdity of this push. In a poll conducted just weeks after the October 7 massacre, 85% of Palestinians in Gaza openly supported the slaughter of innocent Israelis. That is not a fringe minority. That is the mainstream sentiment in a population many now want to legitimize with borders, embassies, and a seat at the UN.

Even today, Hamas' genocidal ideology remains popular, particularly in the so-called West Bank--an area dominated by the Palestinian Authority, which itself refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist. The PA has a long, documented history of incitement, corruption, and financial rewards to the families of terrorists. This is the regime world powers want to bless with statehood?

Let's be brutally clear: There is no Palestinian leadership that supports peace with Israel. Not one that has the will or the credibility to uphold it. There is no functioning economy, no stable civil society, no education system that teaches coexistence. The Palestinian identity, tragically, has become defined not by self-determination but by eternal opposition to the Jewish state.

French President Emmanuel Macron, in his ever-growing disconnection from reality, has even proposed that France and the UK jointly recognize a Palestinian state.  This isn't diplomacy; it's diplomatic malpractice. It's as if, after 9/11, world leaders had convened to discuss awarding Al Qaeda its own autonomous territory.

And what exactly is the goal here? Peace? If so, it's laughable. Hamas doesn't want peace. The PA doesn't want peace. Palestinian militants in Jenin, Nablus, and Rafah don't want peace. They want victory. The annihilation of Israel is not a hidden clause in some extremist manifesto--it is the open rallying cry of the Palestinian cause.

So when Mike Huckabee sarcastically offered the French Riviera as a home for the Palestinian state, he wasn't being flippant--he was being logical. If France is so eager to see a terror-sympathizing state built, let them host it. Don't impose it on Israel while its people are still bleeding.

Make no mistake--this summit is not about peace. It is about political posturing. It is appeasement disguised as progress. Just as European leaders once turned a blind eye to Hitler's rise, they now rationalize rewarding a movement steeped in antisemitism, terror, and unrelenting violence.

This is not the time for moral cowardice. It is time for moral courage.

It is time to call this what it is: a dangerous, unjust, and immoral proposal that places diplomatic illusions above human lives. It teaches the world that the surest path to statehood is through rockets, riots, and bloodshed.

Israel has the right--and the duty--to defend itself. It does not owe the world an apology for doing so. What it certainly does not owe is acquiescence to the birth of yet another terror state on its doorstep.

The international community must draw a line. No Palestinian state should be recognized until terrorism is rejected, Israel's right to exist is affirmed, and a generation of children is raised not on hatred, but on hope. Until that day, calls for Palestinian statehood are not acts of peace--they are acts of betrayal.

It's time we stop pretending this is complicated. It's not. You don't reward evil. You don't negotiate with murder. And you don't hand statehood to those who openly celebrate the slaughter of innocents.

Not now. Not ever.
