The second Israel became a legal nation, five Arab armies attacked Israel to destroy it. Despite their calls to rid the Middle East of Jews, Israel extended its hand for generous and more than fair peace offers, rejected each time.  “Palestinian” Abbas says, “We will never accept the evil Zionist presence with any boundaries.”

If prominent Western Nations had put pressure on these “Palestinian” Arabs to sit down, negotiate fairly, and accept even one of the many peace offers, they would have had their own state for decades. But they did not. Instead, they looked the other way while putting false blame and pressure only on the Jewish State.

And now, after the worst bloody barbaric genocide against Jews since The Holocaust, what are prominent Western Nations doing?  “The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia announced the recognition of the Palestinian state, in the hope that a two-state solution will bring peace. British Prime Minister Starmer said the move is intended “to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis.”

Israel has only ever and still wants peace with their neighbors. But a declaration of a vague peace without specific guarantees of Israel’s security is meaningless. They condemn Hamas with no guarantees it will not re-arm and carry out its own stated threats for Oct. 7th genocide to be repeated again and again. These self righteous Western Nations who are demanding peace were quiet when Gaza spent millions building tunnels of terror, often with child labor, instead of building a community of peace, a mecca by the sea with hotels and tourists. And are quiet when the Palestinian Authority still portrays Jews as Satan with tails on its official media website (Palwatch).

Are these Western Nation’s elites who are demanding peace taking any risks to themselves? Are they offering to put soldiers from their own countries on the ground for the next hundred years to ensure Israel’s safety? No. But they want Israel to risk another genocide and possible annihilation, for “the sake of peace.” If Israel’s borders are overrun by these Arabs, and its citizens butchered, what will these Western nations do? They will do what they usually do. Cry crocodile tears, condemn Holocaust Number Two, but quietly feel relieved to be rid of those troublesome Jews and troublesome Israel. And then conduct business as usual after a short period of fake mourning.

Unless and until these “Palestinian” Arabs themselves come forth, offer to sit down and negotiate borders fairly and with a goal to live in peace, accept foreign soldiers in their new “state” to ensure radical Jihadists are not taking over, announce the full acceptance of Israel as a Jewish State, renounce their “right of return” which would flood Israel with millions of Arabs, effectively making Israel an Islamic State, the West should do what it should have been doing all along. Put sanctions on these “Palestinian” Arabs to force them to recognize and accept Israel and negotiate peace.

I can’t think of a better time to revisit the words of wisdom attributed to Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” And I will ask again, how many dead Jews are enough for these out-of-touch, naive Western Nations? History shows us there are never enough dead Jews for the world. And now they want to risk more.
