Recently we’ve had several additional countries recognize a state of Palestine. Amazing. What happened? Did a few of these world leaders suddenly read a history book?

 

The name Peleset (Palestine) has been mentioned as far back as 1150 BCE. Five inscriptions were found that date back to the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. The term Palestine first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of it in the ‘district of Syria’. Here are a few historical figures that mention Palestine: Aristotle (Greek), Ovid and Pliny the Elder (Romans). That proves we have had 3000 years of Palestinian history.

 

Canada at 158 years is one of the countries that now recognized Palestine. They joined the United Kingdom and France in that declaration. Such hypocrites. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a recorded speech, “In the face of growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace.”

“The time for peace has come because we’re just a few moments away from no longer being able to seize peace,” said French President Emmanuel Macron.

 

What does that mean “The time for peace” after two years of genocide? And how can it be a ‘time for peace when Canada, France and the United Kingdom continue to fund Israel? Netanyahu says ‘there will be no Palestinian state.’ He says no state and we say yes but keep sending military hardware to Israel. What does that tell you?

 

“However, despite claims by the Canadian government that only “non-lethal” goods are being sold to Israel, weapons exports continued through several loopholes. The government continued to honour export licenses granted before January 2024, allowing for more than $94 million in military goods to be sold to Israel from Canada, and $83 million more in explosives made in Canada but sold to Israel through a U.S. government deal, according to reporting by The Maple.” (Source The Intercept journalist Jonah Valdez)

 

Western leaders are delusional and guilty of genocide.
