UK To Recognize Palestinian Statehood in September

This is my last piece of substance for the next few weeks as I will be taking a much needed break. If I write anything new it can be found on Gript. I will re-run older but still relevant pieces including some taken behind paywall for the month of August. You all have my reading recommendations so I know you can manage without me.

I have not said much on the Israeli – Gaza war for a few weeks as it is always difficult to know what’s going on. I have been against a siege that involves cutting off food and medical supplies to Gaza from beginning and remain so, although it should be noted the obligation to feed your enemy in a time of war is a new concept.

The announcement yesterday by British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer KC to threaten to recognise a Palestinian state following France really sums it up though. My views on this are those that Melanie Phillips express: it’s monstrous. But it shouldn’t be surprising.

The fact that either Britain or France would recognise a Palestinian state while Hamas still holds hostages sums up the moral rot at the heart of Europe. I also think it is a form of trolling that Starmer announced this on the anniversary of the Southport massacre. In the days after that monstrous attack on a room full of little girls by a child of the immigration nightmare, the British state launched its own attack on the Far Right Thugs, those who said Enough but in a violent manner. They had said enough in every previous election since I moved to London twenty year ago. They were ignored. As a result of the State cracking down on the disordered dissenters from Diversity is our Strength, Peter Lynch was “executed” and Lucy Connolly remains in jail to this day for a tweet. Yes, it is all linked.

It makes sense then that Starmer rolled out the lectern one year after Southport to talk about a Palestinian State. As the British state falls apart, it always makes sense to fight for the interests of someone far away. We already know where Starmer stands when it comes to the interests of the British people – he’s against them.

Do not be fooled into thinking this has anything to do with humanitarian concerns for the suffering of innocent children in Gaza. This Palestinian statehood fiction is being pushed at the very same time as the State of Europe is – quite frankly – falling to bits. I am not onboard with any state of Palestine project, the origins of which are questionable to say the least. It is morally wrong to push such a project whose main aim is to wipe out Israel.

This project has gained ground at the exactly the same time as the Islamification of Europe. That is not a coincidence. With it has come the spread of a very dangerous antisemitic sentiment. The union of the hard left, that has long hated western nations and their ‘historical crimes of colonialism’ with antisemitic extremism within Islam has been very effective. There can be no surrender to either of these hatreds and bigotries.

But it is particularly galling to see the very same governments who have given their own countries away now talk about a “Palestinian state.” It is also galling that these governments who have let some areas of their own country be taken over by Islamic extremism now cloak themselves in the shield of human rights when talking about Israel – Gaza. It is no accident at all that it is Starmer – human rights lawyer par excellence – who has delivered the final blow and threatens to recognise Palestine as a state.

Human rights lawyers have used human rights treaties to hammer Europeans into taking every Tom and Dick and Harry (although they are never called that) from every war – torn country, complete with its own vicious genocide, for at least the last 10 years. We were told we were fascist if we didn’t take what were mostly Muslim refugees from countries to the detriment of our own interests.

And then there was Gaza, a terrible war that Israel had to launch after the well planned and executed slaughter of at least 1200 of their own Jews. And have any Muslim countries offered safe passage to the Gazans trapped between Hamas who use them as human shields and Israel carrying out a legitimate war? Of course not. They say if they did offer refugee or safe passage then this would be to ‘collude in a genocide.’ Absolute total bulshit pilled on utter nonsense, heaped upon self-hatred in the West who put no pressure on any Arab country to take in Muslim/Arab refugees. Only the West does that. It is absolutely bizarre.

I cannot figure out why the West and the Arab nations seem content to leave the Gazans in this piece of land while the bombs fall. If Europeans did that to fleeing Ukrainian refugees, condemning them to death and not offering safe passage it would be non-stop shouts of fascism. While Europeans proclaim ‘refugees are welcome here’ the Egyptians keep their humongous wall on the border of Gaza firmly shut. Nothing is ever asked of Arab nations to help their fellow Muslims in Gaza. But Europe is always asked to offer safety to whoever turns up at the door or can hop into a boat in Calais. This has been an abject failure by the West both on humanitarian grounds and on self-interest.

This war has indeed exposed the abject and total moral depravity in Western governments right now – but not in the way the mainstream media would lead you to believe. First, they have utterly failed to exert any pressure on Hamas or their proxies (mainly Iran) to release the hostages. They are barely mentioned now – clearly their lives don’t matter. They are Jews, so they must do what Jews always do, go off and die quietly.

Secondly, the West has utterly failed to put any pressure on Arab nations to offer safe passage/asylum/refuge to Gazans that are trapped in the Strip. It probably suits the agenda of many in the West to also have the Palestinians do what Palestinians do best – suffer for the eyes of the Western media.

First, that makes the Jews look bad. Secondly, a lot of people would be out of a job if those Palestinians were moved elsewhere (yes it happens in history it’s not ideal but it’s not new) to live in peace instead of ‘dying at the hands of the Jews.’ If that happened and the Strip was turned into a golf course etc, then the entire Palestinian Suffering Industrial complex would fall apart and a lot of people would have to find new jobs elsewhere.

So while everything goes to pieces in Britain, Starmer threatens to recognise Palestine for the Palestinian people. But you cannot have Britain for the British people or France for the French people or Ireland for the Irish (the oppression fetish of the Irish is a special, bat shit crazy, state of mind all of its own). Why is that?

I expect things will only get worse over the summer. Nothing I say or do can stop what seems to be some kind of suicide mission of the West. I will be back after the break to document the slide into madness.
