On one side stand France’s Emmanuel Macron, Britain’s Keir Starmer, and other Western leaders, including those of Belgium, Australia, and Canada, showing their full hypocrisy.
By backing the establishment of a Palestinian state, they are rewarding terror, the human monsters who carried out the October 7 massacre, and those who cheered and supported it from behind, the most horrific atrocity the Western world has faced since the Holocaust.
On the other side stand Netanyahu and “Bibi.” The first doesn't always say what he truly thinks, and the second doesn't always think what he says.
One demanded a state commission of inquiry into the spyware affair, and the other now runs from it.
Through his decisions and conduct, by failing to secure the immediate release of all the hostages, and by waging an unnecessary war in Gaza, Netanyahu grants terror a huge prize, pushes the world away from us, and turns us into pariahs.
He endangers the lives of our hostages and our soldiers in a war that is unnecessary, even in the view of the IDF chief of staff, the Mossad chief, and the National Security Council head.
The May 2025 ground offensive in Gaza, dubbed “Gideon's Chariots” (a prize for the opportunist, yo-yo, and zigzagging Gideon Sa’ar?), looks more like the “Coalition’s Peace for Netanyahu War.”
It also encourages exploitation and draft dodging.
Netanyahu, the king of empty slogans
Netanyahu has said the war will continue into 2026. Why would that bother him? War sets the agenda and provides a pretext not to proceed with Netanyahu’s trial, not to talk about the hostages, not to talk about the October 7 failure for which Netanyahu bears primary responsibility, and, I would not be surprised to discover, a pretext to avoid holding elections.
Unlike Netanyahu and the party still called Likud (although it hardly is), Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich should not be blamed for their extreme, messianic views. At least they told the truth. What they promised before the election is exactly what their voters are getting.
In practice, it is Smotrich who is running our lives, even as he stalls below the electoral threshold in the polls.
These days. Netanyahu, king of empty slogans, has also invented the “Sparta parable,” another future alibi for his failure.
The courageous attorney-general, Gali Baharav-Miara, and the High Court of Justice are not alone. If he is prevented from traveling the world because of the arrest warrant hanging over him (vile and antisemitic in his telling), why should his subjects be able to travel without risk?
Why should Israel’s powerful industry and exporters enjoy overseas sales?
Why should citizens enjoy the benefits of imports and competition that could lower soaring prices?
Go ahead, Bibi, rebuild the Sussita and the “Carmel Duke.” Long live the Israeli car.
Now, back to Macron, Starmer, and their friends.
Have you ever tried to get under the skin of an Israeli? Since the day the world’s only Jewish state was founded, surrounded by 22 Arab states and 58 Muslim states, some of whose residents seek to destroy it, Israel has been a state fighting on multiple fronts.
A state that rose from ashes, on a tiny patch of land, and created an open miracle for the world to admire.
You, Starmer, whose country invaded the distant Falkland Islands and caused the deaths of British and Argentine soldiers for nothing, did Argentina threaten the very existence of England? And you, Macron, have you forgotten your country’s cruelty in the Algerian War? Did Algeria threaten the very existence of France?
Do not preach morality to us. Yes, Israel currently has a terrible, extreme government, with a prime minister who has lost his bearings and forgotten his conscience; a leader most of the country opposes.
But you, knights of democracy, cannot say who the good guys are and who the vile murderers, butchers, rapists, kidnappers, and starvers are.
Can you not see that most Palestinians were involved in the massacre, actively or passively?
Mahmoud Abbas is a Holocaust denier. You fall for Hamas’s mendacious propaganda machine and lend your hand to continued “humanitarian aid” before all the hostages are returned.
Would you provide humanitarian aid to terrorists firing rockets at London, Paris, and Madrid?
There is no justification or Israeli intention, God forbid, to starve or kill civilians, certainly not children. The only party doing that is Hamas. Israel has the most moral army in the world, which at times pays in soldiers’ blood to avoid harming civilians.
If you support a Palestinian state, by all means, it already exists among you, just proclaim it on your own vast lands.
With us, never.
You are already politically dependent on Muslims to whom you opened your gates. Look in the Quran. The name “Jerusalem” does not appear even once, and Muhammad never visited it.
Stop believing myths and lies. “Palestine” is an invention. Show generosity at your expense, not ours.
It is no coincidence that nearly 90% of Britons are fed up with Muslim immigrants and with false, violent demonstrations about “genocide” and “starvation.” The only genocide is the one attempted against Israel. Without our defense systems, tens of thousands of Israelis would have been killed by Islamic terror rockets aimed at our cities.
And to Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, your reasons for boycotting Israel are clear. When a leader in trouble wants to draw fire away from himself, he lights it elsewhere. We know someone like that up close.
Israeli inventions changed the world
Let me tell you what the Palestinians have given the world and what, by contrast, the State of Israel has given — a very partial list.
To date, 13 Israelis have won the Nobel Prize, mostly in science and economics.
More than 200 Jews have also claimed it.
That means that although Jews make up about 0.2% of the world’s population, roughly 20% of Nobel laureates are Jewish.
By contrast, only one Palestinian has received it: Yasser Arafat, a terrorist disguised as a man of peace who also exploited the naiveté of the enlightened world.
The State of Israel, Mr. Sanchez, against which you have declared an antisemitic campaign, gave the world, for example, drugs for multiple sclerosis (Copaxone), cancer (Doxil), and Parkinson’s (Azilect), the video-capsule endoscopy for the digestive system, a robotic exoskeleton enabling paralyzed people to walk, life-saving battlefield dressings, and more.
In defense, Israel invented and developed the Iron Dome and the heavenly wonder known as the Arrow missile, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries.
At the initiative of former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, Israel advanced the Iron Beam laser interception system, which is now entering operational use.
This is only a partial list. By all means, try to manage without us.
And what have your beloved Palestinians invented? Terror tunnels, cruelty, bestiality, and the concept of the shahid who earns rest in the arms of 72 virgins in the world to come, if his mission succeeds in murdering innocent people, mainly Jews and Christians.
Therefore, leaders of Europe and the West who support a Palestinian state, I invite you to establish it in your own countries or in one of the Muslim states, whose territories are vast.
Do not be generous at our expense, even if our prime minister and his government drive you mad, as they do most of us.
On the day after October 7, the veteran deputy CEO of my firm, Alon Arnon, a man of the far left, told me, fully aware of my right-wing views, that if Bibi does not set the endgame in advance and immediately pushes an alternative to Hamas, he wagers that October 7 will mark the beginning of the road to a Palestinian state, fulfilling Yahya Sinwar’s dream.
Regrettably, Alon was right.
