The illusionary concept of a "Palestinian state" returned to the international discourse in full force.
Politicians, businessmen of international organizations and just publicists repeat the couplet with the tenacity of a shaman, throwing into the air the barren spell he inherited from his ancestors.
As the spell only works in the imagination, so the idea of the "Palestinian state" cannot solve any problem, only exacerbate the existing problems.
Three decades of attempts to appease the Palestinians by giving them self-rule have crowned the approach as a complete failure.
In fact, every time Israel took a step in this direction, the other side took advantage of it to escalate the war against the Jewish state and increase the threat to it, until on October 7th, all the dimensions of the threat were revealed to our eyes.
When Israel gave the PLO autonomy in Yesha, we received a wave of terror the likes of which we had never known.
When Israel withdrew from the Arab cities in Israel, each of them became a terror city. When Israel completely left Gaza, we received a quasi-state in the Gaza Strip, which dealt us an unprecedented blow. If our enemies had a real state, with the mechanisms and capabilities that the state structure can provide, we would not be able to To get up after a blow like the one they landed on us.
The fact that "the whole world agrees" to something does not indicate that it is correct.
Furthermore, the world is paying heavy prices for mistakes made only because "the whole world agreed".
Before World War II, there was an overwhelming consensus that the right way to deal with Nazi Germany was to appease it, and the price for that was tens of millions of victims
What is the conclusion of any reasonable person from a series of blows we suffered following the adoption of a mistaken approach?
Leave her to sigh, and never return to her, of course!
So how is it that the whole world, and even our friends within it, demand that Israel establish a "Palestinian state"?
The answer to the question was inadvertently given this week by Britain's Defense Minister, Grant Shapps.
Along with the disappointment of Prime Minister Netanyahu's opposition to a "Palestinian state", Shaafs revealed the "reasoning" behind the pressure campaign on the Jewish state to agree to the suicidal step.
"The whole world agreed that the two-state solution is the best way," he said, and did not add.
Did you understand?
Even those on the side of the absurd idea of strengthening the enemies of Israel with the capabilities of a state (as if the arming of quasi-states in Gaza and southern Lebanon are not enough), are unable to bring him intelligent support, and content themselves with the strange statement that everyone thinks so.
More precisely - everyone, except Israel, the intended victim.
The fact that "the whole world agrees" to something does not indicate that it is correct.
Furthermore, the world is paying heavy prices for mistakes made only because "the whole world agreed".
Before World War II, there was an overwhelming consensus that the right way to deal with Nazi Germany was to appease it, and the price for that was tens of millions of victims.
Later "the whole world agreed" that the phenomenon of extreme Islam needs understanding and caressing, and the price of this mistake continues to increase;
Only two years ago, "the whole world agreed" that appeasement would help against Russia - a mistake that Shaps' country is guilty of today.
There were people who saw these dangers, but others kept them quiet, because "the whole world agreed."
Shapps's compatriot and great predecessor, Winston Churchill, already diagnosed the disease when he said, "Sometimes people encounter the truth, but most of them catch themselves and hurry on their way as if nothing happened."
After October 7, Israel does not have the privilege of rushing on its way as if nothing had happened.
