Disgraceful Threat to Recognise Palestinian State
The headlines today should make every decent, clear-headed Brit sick to their core. Israel has accused the UK of harming efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire, and they are absolutely right to do so. Our so-called “leaders” in Westminster, under this mad left-wing government, have crossed a line they had no right to cross.
Prime Minister’s announcement? The UK will recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel meets certain conditions. Let me be absolutely clear we have NO RIGHT to threaten Israel like this. None. What this government is doing is nothing short of political blackmail against one of our closest democratic allies in the Middle East, at the very moment they are fighting for their very survival.
And let us not forget the undeniable truth: It was not Israel that started this war. It was not Israel that launched an unprovoked massacre of civilians. It was not Israel that kidnapped women, children, and the elderly, parading them through the streets like trophies.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas, along with other Palestinian terrorist groups launched a coordinated armed invasion from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel. This was the first large-scale invasion of Israeli territory since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. And they didn’t just target soldiers. They targeted families celebrating Simchat Torah, a Jewish holiday. That day wasn’t a “resistance” it was a deliberate, calculated act of terrorism.
And now, somehow, in the twisted logic of our “woke” political class, the response to that atrocity is to reward these terrorists by talking about recognising a Palestinian state. We are bending over backwards for groups whose very charters openly call for the destruction of Israel and the death of Jews.
This is not diplomacy. This is a weakness. This is moral cowardice dressed up as foreign policy.
Let’s not mince words, recognising a Palestinian state now is not about peace. It’s about appeasing the far-left radicals, virtue-signalling to international bodies, and pretending to “solve” the problem while stabbing Israel in the back. The terrorists who run Gaza will see it for what it is: a victory. Proof that violence and slaughter get results.
Our government should hang its head in shame. The people of the UK deserve leadership that understands the difference between a democracy defending itself and a terrorist organisation that thrives on bloodshed. Israel is not perfect,
no country is but it is the only liberal democracy in the region, the only place in the Middle East where Jews, Christians, and Muslims can live under the same legal rights.
And yet, we threaten them.
While ignoring the barbarity of Hamas.
While whitewashing terrorism into “freedom fighting.”
History will not be kind to this moment. And neither will the British people when they wake up to the reality that we’re not standing on the side of justice, we’re siding with those who started this war in the first place.
