Clown World’s diplomatic wall is cracking. My guess is that the Israeli plans to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians and move them to Europe proved to be one final bridge too far.
The only way to resolve the Middle East conflict is through the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday. His statement followed French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that France will formally recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September.
”Russia has always adhered to a two-state solution as the basis for resolving the Palestinian issue,” Peskov told reporters. Moscow’s recognition dates to 1988, when the Soviet Union endorsed the Palestinian declaration of independence.
According to Peskov, peace “can only be achieved by adhering to UN Security Council resolutions,” which have declared Israeli occupation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem illegal and called for a ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Macron’s decision, announced on social media, aims to advance a “just and lasting peace.” France would become the first major Western power to recognize Palestine, joining over 140 countries that already do.
Another point of observation: whenever you see rhetoric appealing to specific events, that’s a pretty good indication that the events were staged or otherwise exaggerated. The idea that Palestine, a nation that existed long before the first Zionists ever appeared in the region, doesn’t merit recognition “because of October 7th” isn’t just obviously ridiculous, it’s not even good rhetoric.
But it does tend to confirm the immediate suspicions at the time that it was a green flag, at the very least. Although why Hamas would keep trying to hold onto any hostages is completely beyond me, given that it’s the sole remaining Israeli excuse for its actions in Gaza. Unless, of course, Hamas actually thinks it’s winning, which I suppose is possible.
