The French Government has announced that it will recognise a Palestinian State at the next meeting of the UN General Assembly in September. The British Government says that, while it has always recognised the right of the Palestinians to have a statehood, it will not recognise a Palestinian State just now (even though the Jewish State is doing all it thinks it can get away with to destroy the Palestinian population).
Britain will recognise a Palestinian State at the right time, but not now.
When you work out its idea of the ‘right time’, you find that it will be when the Jewish State agrees with it. The Jewish State has made it clear in words and deeds that it will never come to terms with the establishment of a Palestinian State—at last, not while a Palestinian national will is active in the situation.
Jewish nationalism cannot abide the existence of a hostile national will in Palestine. It can make terms with the native population only when the spirit of the native population is broken.
What it has been doing to the native population, ever since it succeeded in establishing itself as a colonial—and still colonising—Jewish State, has brought about the situation in which it cannot trust the native population without first breaking it.
Most states in the world have no direct concern with the Jewish Question. They are appalled by what the Jewish Stat is doing to its non-Jewish subjects. But it is not their business to intervene by direct action.
The states directly connected to the situation are the European states who were allies of Germany in World War 2 and who handed over Jews to it.
The notable exception is Spain—a Fascist State which stood on its own ground and was a haven of freedom for Jews and others escaping from the German combination of states (which went right up to the borders of Russia).
The successful neutrals in the Word War—fascist Spain and Portugal—and the offshore island democracy which was ready to resist whichever of the Anglo/German belligerents invaded it [Ireland, ed.]—are free of complexes inherited from the War situation in which it was attempted to destroy the Jews.
France is the first of the belligerents to make a gesture towards shrugging off these complexes.
Britain is the mastermind and organiser of the situation that is working itself out in the Middle East. It did these things which have left this murderous legacy when it was a world Empire. But that was not very long ago, and the Imperialist itch has not yet been soothed away. It was an element in the Brexit movement.
Many different peoples lived together easily in the Middle East as part of the [Turkish] Ottoman Empire, before Britain conquered it in its 1st World War. Britain stirred up antagonisms within it under the principle of divide and rule, and it imposed a Jewish colony on the former Ottoman territory of Palestine—to be “a loyal Jewish Ulster” in the sea of Arabs.
When the native population organised itself to resist Jewish colonisation, Britain made war on it in 1936 and smashed it. But, at the same time, it guaranteed the Arabs that it would impose curbs on Jewish activity, and would make provision for the establishment of some Arab authority.
Jewish colonialism was radicalised by the exterminationist action of Germany and its allies against the Jews in Europe. After the defeat of Germany and its allies, Jewish nationalist terror groups in Palestine made war on the British administration. The British Labour Government surrendered. It just walked away from the situation it had created and gave the Jewish colonising forces a free run against the Palestinian majority.
Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is still in denial about all of this.
Israel says that France, if it recognises a Palestinian State, would be rewarding terrorism.
The Jewish State, as it was established in 1948, was a reward of terrorism.
Israeli Ministers say that it is their right to starve the population of Gaza—as sovereign states are under no obligation to feed their enemies. As we reported at the time, these Ministers said on October 7th that the precedent for what they intended doing to Gaza was what Britain and America had done in their wars.
The British Government is now shedding crocodile tears over the Starvation Blockade in Gaza, but there is no doubt that it was Britain that systematically weaponised starvation as a legitimate act of war. It used its overwhelming naval superiority in the Great War to stop importation of food to Germany, and during the six months after the Armistice, and after the surrender of the German Navy, it intensified the Blockade until a powerless German Government signed a declaration of War Guilt. It is reckoned that half a million Germans were starved to death (see the publications listed below).
The United States sheds no crocodile tears. It acts as if it knows that it is a sociwty founded on multiple genocides and is at ease with the fact.
And Israel? Well, as Golda Meir said: The Arabs are very cruel people because they forced me to kill their children.
