On Thursday, July 31st, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize the “State of Palestine” at an upcoming September meeting of the United Nations...the reincarnation of the League of Nations in disguise...and do so if the fighting in what they call “Israeli occupied” Gaza has not stopped by then. And Carney believes that this, what amounts to a threat, would put pressure on Israel to stop their “supposed” starvation of Gaza residents...which has never existed by Israel's hand.
And so Carney's announcement, which he claimed was based upon assurances from the Palestinian Authority who claimed that reforms in its “governance” were ongoing, and stressed their willingness to hold general elections in 2026 of which Hamas “can play no part in,” saw Carney ignoring the fact that the PLO does tend to deal with “crossed fingers” behind their back when pushing forth their agenda. And Carney's announcement came but a week after France's President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will “officially recognize” a Palestinian state at said UN September meeting.
So what might have caused our fellow NATO nations to turn their collective backs on Israel, and on Netanyahu?
First, know that both France and the U.K. have for years been submitting to islamist demands after allowing their countries...hence their cultures...to be overrun by islamist anything but refugees.
Second, in late May, France, the UK, and Canada demanded that Israel end settlement construction in the West Bank, adding that they would “not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions,” if Israel did not comply.
Third, it's my opinion that some in the governments of France, the UK, and Canada are either veiled or openly anti-Semitic. Remember, some misguided sorts still blame the Jews for World War II and the destruction and hardships it caused. And when Hamas' actions of October 7th are coupled with the world's response or lack thereof to it, it leads me to believe that certain folks might actually want to help finish the job Hitler (thankfully) failed to complete, but do so minus their actually being physically on-the-ground involved, which is exactly what a UN vote for “Palestinian Statehood” would accomplish.
Fourth, the governments of France, the UK, and Canada bought into the hype surrounding the now proven to be fake photo of a rail thin, almost skeletal Palestinian boy as being proof positive of Israel's starving the people in Gaza to death. Taking the media's word over the fact that the child was not and had not been starving to death, they willfully ignored the truth that said child suffers from cerebral palsy, hypoxemia (abnormally low levels of oxygen in the blood caused by pulmonary or heart disease), as well as having a serious genetic disorder.
And so this one photo saw the world's “bleeding heart” sorts, along with Jew-haters across the globe, helping to push the media's anti-Israel narrative that Israel wants all of the Palestinians dead. And they did so while ignoring the indisputable fact that it's Israel, together with the U.S., who continues to send massive amounts of humanitarian/food aid into Gaza only to have Hamas literally hijack said aid so that it does not and cannot reach the people in need.
Simply, if anyone is starving the Palestinians to death it's the Palestinians own Hamas brethren, who the people themselves did vote into power. In fact, American envoy Steve Witkoff, at the end of his recent Gaza visit, publicly stated that “there is no hunger in Gaza,” and that Hamas has “no reason not to negotiate”...which I take to mean that Hamas will not be surrendering anytime soon. And our Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also had a few words to say as well including that, “There is one reason there is suffering in Gaza, it's the same reason that 1200 people were massacred on October the 7th. It's the same reason that 250 people were taken hostage, 50 of them continue to be held hostage and tortured and that's because of Hamas. They are a terror organization and they've acted like it.” Blunt to the point words of truth too many do not want to hear let alone accept as fact.
And the words from members of the “Hostages Family Forum” also ring true as they wait for the release of their loved ones...or sadly their remains...still being held captive in Gaza. Saying that no recognition of a Palestinian state should come before all the remaining hostages are safely returned home and that, “Such recognition is not a step toward peace but rather a clear violation of international law and a dangerous moral and political failure that legitimizes horrific war crimes,” these folks understand better than most the true gravity of the situation.
Wise words indeed for it's now being reported, as I write this, that one Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, proudly boasted on the Qatar based Al Jazeera network about the role that Hamas' October 7th massacre played in bringing the issue of Palestinian statehood back to the international forefront. Saying that interest in Palestinian statehood and the “fate of Palestinians” was only achieved through the terror group's “resistance and the blow we dealt to Israel,” Hamad's words actually sounded more like a not so veiled threat of more terrorist acts possibly to come, which is exactly why Israel must remain in control of security in Gaza for her existence as the “Jewish State” absolutely depends on it.
So taking yet another vote on the same issue actually has no legal bearing as lands belonging to Israel are not the UN's to take away. The land in question cannot be given by the UN to the Palestinians or to anyone else without Israel's consent as per the “Palestinian Mandate of 1967” which not only “dismissed” the right of Palestinians to self-determination and statehood, but that the land they claim to be theirs was “voided of a legitimate sovereigncy.” Simply, the lands in question belong to Israel alone to do as she so wishes to do.
And that means that while France, the UK, and Canada...in a quest for political relevancy...will most likely “symbolically” recognize Palestine as a “state” come September, it is unlikely that the UN would be able to do so both legally and officially. Why so...because not only will the U.S. likely block such a foolish action, but because logic and the reality on the ground is unlikely to change even if “statehood” was to be passed.
Remember, in the eyes of certain all-important key players the UN has proven itself time and again to be a neutered, Israel and Jew hating anything but conduit for peace.
So where do we stand now as the vote date is fast approaching? It seems that both Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu...the man trying to save his nation...might now be taking an “all or nothing approach”...as in “NO piecemeal deals"...to the situation by rightfully setting their own set of conditions which includes Hamas' full demilitarization of the Gaza Strip; releasing all the hostages at one time; that “temporary” administration of Gaza is under American leadership; and that if not agreed to by Hamas that Israel will launch a military operation to not only eliminate what's left of Hamas,* but to reverse what was then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's forced 2005 Israeli “disengagement from Gaza” in hopes it that it would brig peace...which thanks to Hamas' ongoing actions it did not.
And that seems to be the point we're at now, as I write this, for after last week's horrific video released by Hamas of emaciated hostage Evyatar David fearing that he's being forced before the cameras to dig his own grave, Netanyahu now has on the table the retaking of Gaza in full and eliminating what is left of Hamas...a good thing indeed for Yassir Arafat's made-up people along with their made up cause must accept as reality that they already have a homeland and it's called Jordan...let them rightfully go knock on the "kinglet" Abdullah's door.
And all I stated has led me to think about how the UN outwardly favors both those who commit terrorist acts and those who reward them for doing so. And to that I say the UN itself and certain member nations are part and parcel to what has become a so-called Middle East “crisis of humanity.” Why so...because the UN condones or looks away from any and all acts being perpetrated against the Jewish State as witnessed by all their anti-Israel resolutions that have been the UN's calling card for years. And when you add that the UN is no friend to the U.S. as well, you have to wonder why we and Israel are still member nations of such a group of cowards who lack the guts and fortitude to discern who the real enemies of “humanity” are.
And maybe it's also time to take another look at NATO for they, like the UN, so relish in taking what they can from us and our true allies, but delivering little in return. Maybe new alliances need to be forged because what we have now does not seem to be working. We helped to save the world in two world wars, and now it's time to take out the terrorist trash for what we are witnessing regarding Israel v. Hamas, Israel v. turncoat nations, can easily turn into a nightmare that we might never wake up from. Something to think about as the UN's September pro-Palestinian, pro-terrorist agenda vote is fast approaching...something to think about regarding those turning on Israel like France, the UK, and Canada who in supporting said agenda says all one needs to know. Case closed.
