It was a Friday afternoon, and I was in Haifa with a friend, and we had stopped by the side of the road to talk to a man selling us flowers. He said, "Do you understand they took my country, Israel, and just like a salami, they are slicing it up and giving it away piece by piece?"
He looked me deep in the eyes and waited for my reply.
I saw the pain and frustration in his eyes, and I could also hear fear in his voice when he said, "What's going to be left for us Jews if they continue to slice up my country, we won’t be able to defend ourselves?"
Fast-forward to August 2025, and look where we are. Several nations recently announced they would recognize a Palestinian state, which in one way is so ridiculous that you can't find the word to describe it, but on the other hand, is so horrifying and diabolically evil that one is compelled to give a response.
History proves there has never been an independent Palestinian Arab state of any kind. From 1948 to 1967, Jordan occupied the West Bank, and Egypt occupied Gaza. They did nothing about establishing any sort of governmental structure to rule or administrate a Palestinian state.
No banks, no currency, no mail system, no civil engineering or infrastructure support. Absolutely nothing!
In contrast, history proves that any "Palestinians" before 1948 were actually Israeli Jews. The Palestine Foundation Fund, Palestine Airways, and the Palestine Symphony Orchestra were all Jewish enterprises. And even the true “Palestinian Flag” bore a Star of David on it, it is 100 percent Jewish in every respect. These are historical facts with tangible evidence that cannot be ignored!
As we stand here in 2025, I am asking, Who is it exactly they want to give a fake nation to? And most importantly, why should they have a state?
Suppose you are considering the modern-day “Palestinians” that are in Gaza and around Israel. In that case, the answers are horrific, as I'm recalling and going back through what murders and massacres of Jews have happened as I take such a troubling look back over decades and years.
Acts of terrorism against Jews in Israel by 'Palestinians'
We must remember and honor the 16 people who were blown to pieces in the horrific bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria, which was blown up in Jerusalem on August 9th, 2001. People were out in downtown Jerusalem, children, women, and families were having a good time.
There were a lot of people eating lunch in Sbarro when a suicide terrorist entered carrying a guitar case containing 10 kilograms of explosives, nails, and bolts into the pizzeria and blew himself up. Sixteen people were brutally murdered, including a pregnant woman. Eight were only children. One hundred and thirty people were injured. The scenes were so horrific that you cannot even imagine.
Chaviv Avrahami, who saw the scene of the attack after the bombing, recounted: "I heard a tremendous explosion, and I was thrown up a meter into the air. I knew immediately that it was a bomb attack, and a catastrophic one. There were people – babies – thrown through the window and covered with blood. The whole street was covered with blood and bodies: the dead and the dying."
Naor Shara, a soldier who witnessed the attack, said, "The worst thing I saw, which I think will haunt me all my life, is a baby that was sitting in a stroller outside a shop and was dead. After the explosion, the baby's mother came out of the store and started screaming hysterically."
Yocheved Shoshan, 10, was killed, and her 15-year-old sister Miriam was severely injured with 60 nails lodged in her body, a hole in her right thigh, third-degree burns over 40 percent of her body, and a ruptured spleen.
These same nations that are set to recognize a Palestinian state are also rewarding the brutal murder of Dvir Sorek, who was only 19 years old at the time.
Six years ago, he was stabbed to death and thrown from a car by terrorists. I remember how much it shocked the entire nation. I was crying while reporting about this horrific murder. Dvir had been to Jerusalem to buy books for his teachers and was returning to Gush Etzion when he was brutally kidnapped by terrorists. He tried fighting for his life, but he was savagely stabbed multiple times, and his murdered body was dumped.
What is even more heartbreaking is that the grandfather of this young man was also murdered in a terror attack years earlier. This Jewish mother was burying her son, who was stabbed to death, and she was doubled in her sorrow, since she had also buried her father, who was shot by terrorists.
I can’t even start to fathom the excruciating pain this family has gone through, both family members murdered just for being Jewish. And yet, these terrorists are now being rewarded by nations around the world choosing to recognize a Palestinian state.
It was 94 years ago to this day that another horrific massacre happened, when 67 innocent Jews, including 14 children and teenagers, were raped, murdered, and mutilated by Arabs, it happened in Hebron.
About 80 people were also wounded, most of them women and children.
Just 3 years ago, Israel was under attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and during a matter of just 48 hours, they fired 1000 rockets into Israel. And back to recent days, terrorists fired two rockets into Israel only 2 days ago.
But hey, let's reward them with their own state, to legitimize their terror!
Let me remind you about Ariel Bibas, who was supposed to celebrate his 6th birthday now with his family and friends. But brutal terrorists kidnapped him, his baby brother Kfir, and his mother and father. They went on to savagely murder the Jewish children and their mother, but hey, let’s reward these brutal savages for their efforts, and go on to recognize a Palestinian state!
Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005
It’s been exactly 20 years this month since a horrific event occurred, which brought destruction to Israel. In the summer of 2005, 10,000 Jews were forcefully evicted from the Gaza Strip, thrown out of their houses, and they even exhumed the dead from their graves.
Let's not forget the fact that Israel had liberated Gaza in a defensive war, but was now told to give up land for peace with pressure from the world’s leading politicians, and once again, the Jews paid a horrific price.
What Israel did get in return was two decades of wars, tens of thousands of rockets launched at homes and communities, Southern Israel being held hostage by deplorable terrorists, which ultimately brought us the massacre of October 7.
With support from most of the Palestinian population sharing the same diabolical hate for the Jews, Hamas turned Gaza into the biggest terror nest in the world. 50,000 children are sent to summer camps every year, training to become the next Hamas terrorist willing to attack Israel and be the next heroic martyr to liberate Palestine, “From the river to the sea.”
The people of Gaza had sovereignty, but their thirst for the blood of dead Jews is bigger than creating a good life for themselves. So, on October 7, the world watched and just for 5 minutes showed compassion towards the Jews after 1,200 people were slaughtered, massacred, raped, mutilated, and burned alive.
Now it is getting close to two years after that gut-wrenching day, while the world still watches in silence as Israeli hostages are mistreated and nearly starved to death. The truth is, Hamas will never give up all of the hostages; these precious souls are bargaining pawns in a deadly game of racist politics!
A new medical report from the health team of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum reveals an alarming situation that is affecting the hostages because of deliberate and prolonged starvation by the terrorist organizations inside the Gaza Strip, which includes Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
According to assessments, hostage Evyatar David has dropped from a weight of 76 kg to an estimated current weight of approximately 40-45 kg - representing a decline of about 41% of his body weight.
Hostage Rom Braslavski has dropped from an estimated weight of 65 kg to a current estimated weight of approximately 43-47 kg - representing a decline of about 31%. Both are in a state of severe underweight, and they are facing the risk of multisystem failure. They are almost at death’s door.
This is absolutely horrifying, but what are nations around the world doing? Openly rewarding these atrocities, and if you haven’t figured it out by now, they want to recognize Palestine. They are mistaken in believing this will bring lasting peace. That was proven in the “Gaza Evacuation” I mentioned earlier, which took place in 2005. It absolutely backfired.
They are completely ignorant and don't care that Palestinian leaders don’t want a two-state solution because that means they need to recognize the Jewish state, something they will never do.
Refusal of a Palestinian state
They refused a Palestinian state in 1937, 1947, 1967, 2001, and 2007. The reason is that their hate for their Jewish neighbors is greater than their love for their own people.
That is why their children are growing up being fed a steady diet of hatred towards Israel and the Jewish people, and taught antisemitic incitement as well. All this paves the road to terrorism and spending millions of dollars on terror apparatus, rather than in embracing a peaceful and better future.
And these lame and deceived nations, who want to reward terrorism, go on to mention Abu Mazen as the chosen leader of the Palestinians, but conveniently forget these details about this terrorist in a suit and tie:
1. He funded the Munich massacre at the Olympics in 1972.
(The brutal terror attack at the Olympic Village stands as one of sports’ most horrifying episodes. The eight terrorists, representing a branch of the Palestine Liberation Organization, breached the apartments where the Israeli athletes were staying, and they brutally beat and murdered 11 Israelis. And, in at least one case, one man was castrated.)
2. He wrote a doctoral dissertation about denying the Holocaust.
3. He named his son after arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat.
4. He honors terrorists - such as the one who blew up the Sbarro pizzeria that left 16 Jews dead.
5. He frequently praises and celebrates any and all Jewish blood spilled in Jerusalem.
When you make deals with terrorists, you give them power, and the result is even more dead Jews.
The Palestinians have carried out some of the worst terror attacks in the world, from plane hijacking to cafe and bus bombings, to the October 7 Massacres. But don’t let your heart be troubled - you know what? – Let’s reward their great sense of humanity and recognize Palestine.
The real victims in Gaza, whom the EU, FN, and world leaders should be crying out for, are Israeli hostages being brutalized and starved, while Hamas leaders remain fat in their bunkers with all the food they can possibly eat. And they even gleefully pose and gorge themselves with the food they refuse to share with the hostages.
Gaza is already under Palestinian rule
Meanwhile, these pathetic calls for a Palestinian state completely ignore the basic truth: Gaza is under Palestinian rule, and its leaders chose terrorism over civility. Hamas uses homes, schools, UN facilities, mosques, and hospitals to do their evil work, which mainstream media has failed miserably in sharing with the world.
And when world leaders are talking about a “two-state solution,” and are claiming the Jews stole or occupied anything from a people who call themselves Palestinians, you are giving them a reason to justify their terrorism and murder of Jews.
So, honestly, what in the world is going on in the heads of these leaders around the world?
Why don't we go ahead and reward these Nazis-Hamas terrorists, the Fatah terrorists, the Islamic Jihad terrorists, and all of the "innocent" Palestinian civilians who have murdered thousands of Israelis over the years?
They have been party to seeing Jews butchered, slaughtered, stabbed, and rammed or run down by vehicles, and shooting more than 50,000 rockets into Israel with the support of 90% of all Palestinians.
The war began on October 7 with the onslaught against Israel; decapitation, mass rapes, burning babies, mutilations, and mass murder of over 1200 people and 250 precious souls kidnapped.
It became a “new normal” for a silent world that failed to take notice. Nor did it disgust anyone enough to move them to take action.
These have become the worst atrocities since the Second World War, resulting in war crimes and genocide being carried out by Nazi Hamas henchmen and their supporters.
The war could have been over long ago, and could end tomorrow if the hostages are released and Hamas lays down its arms and completely surrenders.
Hamas is still calling the shots, and hostages are still held in brutal Hamas captivity. With that, falling world governments are now rewarding them with a nonexistent state, something Hamas said was "a fruit of the October 7 massacre."
Yes, terrorism is paying off, murdering Jews is paying off.
Recognizing a state that has never existed is outrageous. Try learning some basic history with the eyes of truth and an open heart. You might be surprised by what you actually see.
