3 European countries want to reward Palestinians for 2 decades of terror

From AFN.net (May 23, 2024):

The chant "From the river to the sea!" is popularized by Palestinians – and more recently college students on America's campuses – to say the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea should belong to them. In essence, it means pushing the state of Israel into the sea.

Ohad Tal, a member of the Israeli Knesset, warns "from the river to the sea" will take a big step closer to reality if Ireland, Spain and Norway get their wish. Those three nations announced Wednesday they would recognize a Palestinian state as a solution to the Israel-Hamas war which has raged since Hamas terrorists left their previous state – the Gaza strip – to set out on a rampage of murder, rape and kidnapping last Oct. 7.

"It's crazy because that will pose an existential threat to the very existence of the state of Israel to have another terrorist state in our heartland," Tal said on Washington Watch Wednesday.

Tal is adamant that a two-state solution is not in Israel's future plans. "We will not allow that. We will not accept that. It's not going to happen," he told show host Tony Perkins.

Quickly blocking out Oct. 7 atrocities

Public sympathy quickly shifted from Israel and its estimated 1,200 victims last fall. Now, many in the world community accuse Israel of "genocide" because of civilian deaths as it pursues Hamas, which hides among the civilians it is charged with governing.

Just this week Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, announced that he will pursue arrest warrants Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. For good measure, Hamas leaders now will be sought for arrest too, seven months after the attacks which brought everything to this point.

Israel right now feels very much alone in the world, Tal said, largely due to the response from the U.S.

"The current administration in America is very concerning. I mean, Hamas is now holding about 130 hostages. They are still in their hands," he noted. "So, we're not allowed to bring them back? We're not allowed to protect ourselves? We're not allowed to make sure that Hamas is eradicated, that they will not be able to commit another brutal massacre against our people? This is what it means?

"So, this is not something you would expect to see from our allies – and if our allies do not understand that then yes, we are concerned."

Tal said the joint statement by Ireland, Spain and Norway is hypocrisy.

"It's outrageous because what is actually the meaning of 'recognizing' a Palestinian state? It means that we want to give a reward to those who came and butchered our families, raped our women, beheaded our little children. [It is saying] We want to reward them," Tal said. [read more]

I agree. Those three countries (who were also neutral during WWII) are encouraging more terrorism from Hamas. Just plain stupid.  I wonder if Switzerland recognizes Palestine as a state too since they were neutral during WWII also.
