France, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom, indicate will recognize Palestine - Robert - 07-31-2025
France, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom, indicate that they will recognize Palestine.
This will have no practical significance and most countries recognize "Palestine", anyway:
Quote:'As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations [...]'.

Recognition of "Palestine" is alleged to be linked to a two-state solution.
Firstly, there is no legal or historical justification for the "Palestinian" Arabs' claim to any part of the land of Israel.
Secondly, a proto two-state solution experiment has already been tested in the Oslo Accords where the "Palestinian" Arabs were granted autonomy of the whole of Gaza and about 40% of Judah and Samaria ("West Bank, the").
This resulted in terrorism by Fatah (aka "Palestinian Authority, the"), in the "Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund" the "pay for slay" reward pension for acts of terrorism against Israeli Jewish civilians including children.
It also resulted in thousands of rockets being fired at Israeli cities from Gaza, and in the October 7th, 2023 massacre by "Palestinian" Arabs from Gaza upon Israeli Jewish civilians.
Thirdly, the "Palestinian" Arabs do not believe or want a two-state solution. Their objective is to murder or expel all the Jews from the Jewish people's ancestral-homeland of Israel, and to take ALL the land.
Their use of the name "Palestine" can consistently be seen as seeking to negate the name and the country of Israel.
The "Palestinian" Arabs claim ALL the land of Israel, with zero historical or legal justification.
There is no justification for any "Palestinian" Arab state in the land of Israel, and we have seen what the "Palestinian" Arabs did with their autonomy.
The so called "two-state solution" is dead. In reality it constitutes a desire for the destruction of Israel.
The support by countries for recognizing "Palestine" is said to be the current circumstances in Gaza. Israel must be the only country in history where there are demands on it to feed its enemy, an enemy which seeks to grip the remaining Israeli hostages rather than once more be allowed to resume perpetually sponging-off the international community for food aid.
Therefore let's take a brief look at the real reasons why the above countries are making demands on Israel and are intending to recognize "Palestine".
Why does Ireland (the Republic of Ireland) and more specifically most Irish people, support the "Palestinian" Arabs?
The reason is said to be that the Irish compare the Israelis with the colonial British, having regard to Irish political history:

However, the predominate religion in Ireland is Catholicism and Catholics know perfectly well from the Bible that the land of Israel is the ancestral-homeland of the Jewish people.
Therefore something does not make logical sense in the Irish preference for the "Palestinian" Arabs!
How then do we explain this: It is anti-Jewish prejudice; anti-Semitism, which appears to work like this: If it has become unfashionable to kick the Jew, then kick the Jews' country Israel.
What about other anti-Israel countries such as Spain, and Sweden which is seeking that the E.U. suspend its trade agreement with Israel, and the countries currently indicating they will recognize "Palestine"?
Spain:
'The proportion of Muslims in Spain is estimated to be around 4.45% to 5.32% of the total population.'
(Google AI Overview.)
Sweden:
'The Muslim population in Sweden is estimated to be around 8% [...]'.
(Google AI Overview.)
Now the countries currently indicating they intend to recognize "Palestine":
France:
'In France, Muslims represent approximately 10% of the population. [...]'.
(Google AI Overview.)
UK:
'In 2021, Muslims comprised 6.5% of the population in England and Wales, according to the UK Census. [...]'.
(Google AI Overview.)
Germany:
'In Germany, Muslims constitute approximately 6.4% to 6.7% of the total population. [...]'.
(Google AI Overview.)
Canada:
'In Canada, the proportion of the population identifying as Muslim has more than doubled in the last two decades. It rose from 2.0% in 2001 to 4.9% in 2021. [...]'.
(Google AI Overview.)
For the political party or coalition in power in these countries, such a population constitutes a gold mine for new votes, and what better way to obtain more votes from it, than by supporting the "Palestinian" Arabs baseless-claims to the land of Israel.
While tapping-in to that rich-vein of votes by the simple means of supporting Israel's enemies, these countries can also at the same time, conveniently massage their institutionalized anti-Semitism.
