It’s a game of chess. Good people have tried playing it but since 1948 no one had ever brought a full set. A chessboard was needed most since 1967, and in its absence the Arabs merely threw around pawns landing as suicide vests, bus bombings, hijackings, kidnappings, rockets and executions.

The game of course is peace with Israel, and next week or possibly even today, the UK’s Keir Starmer and France’s Emmanuel Macron will announce a State of Palestine without being able to make it exist. Doing so, they are about to embolden a global jihad whose fanatical pieces are already in place to wreak havoc on the West.

The hypocrisy is, given their past and present, neither Britain nor France, nor Spain nor Canada who will join them, are fit to flaunt this diplomacy over Israel.

All have fought numerous wars amongst and within themselves: wars of religious repression, wars of torture and political prisons. And as they criticise Israel over Gaza, all today deny independence to sections of their own populations and colonies whom they refuse to free—or in Canada’s case its indigenous people.

Australia and Luxembourg will join them too.

Together they will signal to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority that they are gifting them a country called “Palestine” that in the history of the world has never existed—and more so, as a reward for their activities of rape, murder, infanticide and sadism that have emboldened global antisemitism.

This muddled unofficial “coalition of the willing” has only continued the war in Gaza.

Right now there should have been peace, and Israel’s hostages freed under the stewardship of the Trump Administration’s negotiators. Macron’s egotism so inspired Hamas that they threw that deal out the window only weeks ago.

Instead, these countries have validated terror as a negotiating tool, rewarded Hamas’s arms suppliers in Iran and Turkey, enriched Hamas’s financiers in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Indo-Pacific, and empowered anarchists across the globe who seek to bury the post-WW2 West that has given the world industry, art, innovation, liberty, secularism and pluralism, including the right to believe in God as a person desires.

While these countries are currently being run into economic decline, their leaders, mirroring the anarchy in their streets, are ignoring that they are not immortal, and that history will only judge the pain they’ve brought on their own nations struggling with costs of living and illegal alien unrest, before erasing them when new leaders rise.

This is the collusive mindset of Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Pedro Sánchez, Mark Carney, Anthony Albanese and Luc Frieden.

They are the wrong people for our times, as necrotic to freedom, harmony and justice as Covid is to the human brain.

If only they would all leave now rather than later, and set off to write their biographies that like Angela Merkel’s all could ignore. Much pain in the world would be avoided.

Donald Trump, the unique deal maker as he is, offers the only sound plan for peace in Gaza and the Mideast because it involves not repeating the past hoping for a different outcome.

His vision for re-zoning Gaza might actually earn him that Noble Prize for peace: for a riviera spanning the Gaza Strip through Israel, Lebanon and even Syria would dawn a true renaissance bringing a much needed era for the Levant of dreams, possibility and ease.
