There is no moral parity between Israel and Hamas. Peace begins when terror is dismantled, incitement ends, and Gaza is never again used as a launchpad for slaughter. The same applies to ‘Palestine’ generally. The Germans know something more about murderous Jew-hatred than sanctimonious and hypocritical Brits, French, and Irish panderers. They know that Palestinians intend genocide.
As European governments rush toward a premature and performative recognition of a Palestinian state, Germany has, for now, refused to participate in this delusional parade. Berlin’s position is straightforward: no recognition without reform, negotiation, and demonstrated peace-building by the Palestinian side. France, Ireland, and potentially the United Kingdom have gone in the opposite direction, turning their backs on both strategic sense and historical memory.
But even Germany’s stance doesn’t go far enough. Not nearly. Until it does, Israel will not be intimidated or persuaded to give an inch. On the contrary, these moves will harden Israeli positions and push a Palestinian state further away than ever.
In the wake of the October 7 invasion adn massacres, in which thousands of Hamas operatives poured into southern Israel to murder, rape, and abduct Jewish civilians and IDF soldiers, Israel’s security demands are not maximalist. They are reasonable. They are foundational. There must be a price for October 7, and it must be paid in irreversible change—not vague promises, not “confidence-building gestures,” and certainly not symbolic recognitions.
Recognition Cannot Precede Reckoning
To reward Palestinian leadership—split between the corrupt Palestinian Authority and genocidal Hamas—with recognition before reform is not peacemaking. It is appeasement.
The bare minimum for any renewed process must include:
- Return of all hostages—living, wounded, and deceased. No peace is possible while Israel’s sons and daughters remain imprisoned or buried beneath Gaza.
- Dismantling of Hamas, its military capabilities, command structure, and social-political influence—entirely.
- Permanent exile of Hamas leadership, including those residing in Qatar, Turkey, and Lebanon. These kingpins of terror must be removed from the region, banned from political activity, and relocated to distant third countries where they can no longer plot future atrocities. Whether that means France, Ireland, Somalia, or Indonesia is irrelevant—what matters is that they never set foot in Gaza again.
- The relocation or reintegration of militant factions and their families, who cannot be permitted to regroup in Gaza. These individuals must be resettled elsewhere by the international community that so eagerly calls for a Palestinian state. If Europe wants a Palestinian future, let it accept some of its past.
This is not punitive. It is protective. No nation—certainly not Israel—can be expected to hand over territory or sovereignty while terror regimes are still intact or their enablers are left to regroup abroad.
Gaza Must Never Be a Threat Again
October 7 was made possible by years of international indulgence: hundreds of millions in humanitarian aid funneled to Hamas-controlled ministries, weapons smuggled under the nose of UN agencies, and a world willing to believe that terror tunnels were actually sewers.
That era is over.
Going forward:
- A permanent Israeli-controlled security buffer must be established around Gaza, free from any civilian or foreign construction. This zone must be monitored and enforced—by Israel alone.
- Any future Palestinian entity must be demilitarized, with full Israeli oversight of materials, aid deliveries, and trade infrastructure.
- If violated, Israel must be accorded the right to annex buffer territories—permanently and without apology.
Gaza is not a human rights project. It is a security threat. And its future must be built accordingly.
Judea, Samaria, and the Reality of Security Sovereignty
In Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank), the same logic applies. Areas long used as launchpads for terrorism—Jenin, Nablus, Qalqilya—cannot remain under Palestinian control.
- Area C must remain under full Israeli sovereignty, including settlement blocs, transportation corridors, the Jordan Valley, and key hilltop positions.
- Israel must retain the right to expand sovereignty into zones proven to be security risks, regardless of international complaints.
- Jerusalem is not a bargaining chip. It is Israel’s undivided capital, and that fact will not change.
There can be no legitimacy for a Palestinian entity that seeks to encircle or infiltrate Israel’s population centers. The future must be built on separation—not illusions of peaceful coexistence with ideological enemies.
The Only Viable Palestinian Homeland: East of the River
There is a natural, logical, and just place for a future Palestinian state: Jordan.
- Jordan already comprises 78% of the original Palestine Mandate and has a Palestinian majority population.
- It has a peace treaty with Israel, a functioning state structure, and a Hashemite monarchy that has proven to be a stabilizing force—albeit with necessary reforms.
- The Hashemites should not be overthrown, but their role should be limited within a constitutional monarchy that grants democratic representation to the Palestinian majority while protecting the monarchy’s symbolic and national role.
This solution allows for:
- The integration of Palestinian Arabs from Judea and Samaria into a larger federated entity, with autonomy in local governance but no military sovereignty.
- Relocation of Arab residents of Jerusalem and Israel proper who refuse Israeli citizenship, choosing instead to live under a Palestinian flag. They should be welcomed across the Jordan River—not allowed to undermine Israel from within.
- A final end to the “return” myth, which must be extinguished once a Palestinian homeland exists elsewhere. That applies to “Palestinian” citizens of Israel. If they are disloyal to the Jewish state, they can relocate across the river a few miles away, or resettle in any future autonomous zone.
Free Palestine must cease to be a rallying cry once Palestine exists. From that moment forward, there must be no ambiguity: Palestine is east of the Jordan. Israel, from the river to the sea, is here to stay.
No Sovereignty Without Proof
All of these changes—ideological, territorial, political—must be proven over a sustained 5–20 year period. Only then can Israel or any responsible ally consider additional concessions. They must be proven, not just promised, with irreversible actions, not just words of taqiya, the venderable Arabic principle of deception for a cause.
During that time, Palestinians must demonstrate:
- Civic governance without corruption or terror.
- Educational reform to remove incitement and glorification of martyrdom.
- Full transparency of foreign aid, with regular Israeli and international audits.
- No more lobbying for unilateral recognition, boycotts, or diplomatic lawfare.
This is not an Israeli wishlist. It is the bare minimum required to protect Jewish life after the horrors of October 7.
Conclusion: Recognition After Repentance, Not Before
Germany, to its credit, seems to grasp that recognition without reform is suicidal policy. But it must go further—toward the Israeli position—and bring others with it.
No Israeli government, now or ever, will accept a state beside it that is born from terror, nourished by grievance, and dedicated to its destruction. No Israeli government will surrender a united Jerusalem or control over its holy places. Israel will not entrust its security to foreigners. Israel will not commit suicide.
If there is to be peace, it must begin with acts of repentance. Hamas must be dismantled, not rehabilitated. Irredentism must be abandoned, not indulged. And recognition must come at the end—not the beginning—of a long road of transformation.
Until then, let Europe keep its declarations. Suck on them like a pacifier for a baby throwing a tantrum.
Israel will keep its defenses. Keep on fighting its just war.
And the Jewish people, unlike generations past and unlike the shameful morning of October 7, will never again be caught unprepared.

There already IS a “Palestinian” state, into which all non–Israeli citizen “Palestinians” should be removed permanently, along with their abomination from the Temple mount. Recognize that!
