Peloni: The sick fascination of the West with their long failed project of the Two State Solution remains their every solution for any problem, while ignoring the complete illegalities which exist in forcing such an solution upon the Israeli people. In doing so, those who have taken to supporting this latest iteration of weaponizing the Palestinians against the Israelis do so with the most glaring lack of decency. Their intent has consistently been to keep the ultimate victims in this shell game of terror, the Palestinians themselves, in a constant state of abuse, not by Israel, but by the very institutions and governing bodies which the International community has subsidized for decades to the purpose of weaponizing the Palestinians against the Israeli people. In this moment, under the guise of humanitarian interests once more, they are using the same fraudulent process of a Two State Solution to indefinitely perpetuate the state of horror which culminated in the October 7 slaughter. This pernicious attempt to solidify this project of destruction against Israel will only serve to solidify the Israeli people against this calumny.

On 24 July 2025, France announced its decision to recognize the existence of a “Palestinian state” in September. President Emmanuel Macron portrayed this move as an act of “justice” and “peace.” In reality, however, this recognition constitutes a geopolitical fiction. Once again, France finds itself on the wrong side of history. Not on the side of human rights. Not on the side of peace. But on the side of lies, dishonor and collaboration with the enemies of humanity. (Screengrab via Youtube [Cropped])
- International law — particularly Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention — defines the criteria for statehood: a permanent population, a defined territory, an effective government, and the capacity to engage in relations with other states. Yet neither of the two Palestinian political entities meets these criteria.
- By choosing to recognize a “Palestinian state” that clearly fails to meet these established criteria, France departs from any international law. Macron’s declaration is not a matter of legal recognition, but a political gesture — ideological and electoral — masquerading as diplomacy.
- [T]his recognition serves as a reward for terrorism. It offers no humanitarian benefit. As US President Donald Trump put it: “What Macron says is irrelevant—it won’t change anything.” The sole concrete outcome is the political legitimization of a jihadist, anti-Semitic, genocidal movement.
On 24 July 2025, France announced its decision to recognize the existence of a “Palestinian state” in September. President Emmanuel Macron portrayed this move as an act of “justice” and “peace.” In reality, however, this recognition constitutes a geopolitical fiction — contrary to international law, flagrantly at odds with the facts on the ground, and laden with profoundly harmful moral implications.
1. What State?
International law — particularly Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention — defines the criteria for statehood: a permanent population, a defined territory, an effective government, and the capacity to engage in relations with other states. Yet neither of the two Palestinian political entities meets these criteria.
The demanded State of Palestine, according to important leaders like those of France and UK and previous president’s of the USA, should be contiguous, including Judea, Samaria, Gaza and of course Jerusalem. This would leave Israel broken up into the north without Arab towns and villages, the south up to a line between Beer Sheva and the Dead Sea, and a middle section from somewhere south of Netanya and a line between Hebron and Gaza. The general hope is, of course, that the remaining portion of Jerusalem would fall immediately.
As you can guess, all of this will never happen, even if the whole world lines up to enforce it.
For those not familiar with Israel, towns like Haifa, Acre, Tiberias, Jaffa, Petach Tikva, Beer Sheva, Ramle, Lod (Lydia) and many smaller towns must become Palestinian.
It will never happen. Read Psalm 83.
