Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a heated response to the news that the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia had officially recognized the state of Palestine.
“I have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible massacre on October 7: you are giving a huge reward to terrorism,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “And I have another message for you: it will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.”
We need to be a bit careful with “from the river to the sea” as to many in Israel, that is a call for Israel’s destruction.
It’s not Israel or Palestine that can exist. We want them both to exist, in peace. Angry at Israel’s genocide though we all are, few are calling for Israel to cease to exist. That’s what Israel is doing to Palestine.
israel should not exist just like how nazi germany does not exist anymore.
Germany existed before and after the Nazis. Israel wasn’t always ruled by extremists and should be there when they are gone.
It’s a shame Palestine and Israel are divided by religion, but as an atheist, maybe I’m not going to get it.
