Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a heated response to the news that the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia had officially recognized the state of Palestine.

“I have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible massacre on October 7: you are giving a huge reward to terrorism,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “And I have another message for you: it will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.”

      Germany existed before and after the Nazis. Israel wasn’t always ruled by extremists and should be there when they are gone.

      It’s a shame Palestine and Israel are divided by religion, but as an atheist, maybe I’m not going to get it.

        nazi germany” does not exist anymore and is a different country from “Germany” (notice the lack of nazi in the name). israel was founded by terrorists and has always been ruled by extremists who wanted to create lebensraum for their genocidal ethnostate utopia. Palestine and israel are not divided by religion. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived together in Palestine long before the bloody concept of israel was conceived.
