The governments of Ireland, Spain and Norway announced that beginning May 28 they would recognize a Palestinian state. The fact is, the Jewish nation, overnight, has become a bit more isolated. The Jewish people, overnight, have become a bit more imperiled.
The three Irish government leaders from left, Minister Eamon Ryan, Taoiseach Simon Harris and Tanaiste Micheal Martin speak to the media during a press conference outside the Government Buildings, in Dublin, Ireland, Wednesday, May 22, 2024. Ireland and Spain have …a Palestinian state. Israel is ticked — rightly so. Hamas is cheering the news as a win — and pressuring other countries to follow suit.
It’s impossible to achieve peace with those who simply want to destroy you. The chant is “death to Israel” — and that’s quickly followed by the one that goes, “death to America,” as well as, “death to the West.” These are not bumper sticker slogans. These are the marching orders of Hamas leaders; of Hezbollah leaders; of Iran’s leaders — of the god of the Muslim terrorists.a few days ago on NBC.
Giving Hamas the gratification of being the hand that ushered in the recognition of a state of Palestine by three more nations is a terrible move that only emboldens more terrorists. Seven member nations of the 27-state European Union recognize a Palestinian state. One-hundred and forty of the 190 nations with representation in the United Nations recognize a Palestinian state. America does not. Israel, of course, does not. America’s policy has been to support in theory an idea of an independent state of Palestine, but only as part of an agreement between Palestinian leaders and governing entities and Israel — not as an act of force.
But what the enemies of Israel and of America and of civil society can’t win by brute strength, they try to win, and succeed in winning, by public relations and public pressure. Hamas couldn’t defeat Israel on Oct. 7 — but Hamas is sure winning the world’s favor in the days and weeks and months since.
