Granting statehood to one of the most corrupt, brutal and intransigent regimes on Earth does not make moral or practical sense



Starmer and Macron



France is home to Europe’s largest Muslim community, at ten per cent of the population. Almost half of that demographic, according to a survey by France’s leading pollster Ifop, wrongly saw October 7 as “an act of resistance against colonisation”, while nearly one in five expressed support for the savagery.

Recent years have seen a spate of gruesome anti-Semitic murders in the country, including that of Sarah Halimi, a 65-year-old retired teacher, who was hurled out of a window to her death by a man yelling “Allahu Akbar”. And 89-year-old René Hadjaj, who was likewise defenestrated from the seventeenth floor by his neighbour in Lyon.

France’s recognition of Palestine will take place with the support of the United Nations. As it happens, that august body is flirting with war crimes in Gaza as I write; this week, journalists in Israel saw 1,000 truckloads of aid piling up in the Strip because the UN had refused to deliver it, apparently to put pressure on Israel. So what if the Gazans starve?


But no. War crimes are what the Jews do, amirite?

All of which is to suggest that this is not about reality. It’s about self-fashioning. That, of course, and an animus towards the West.

As evidence, consider the simple fact that Hamas has warmly welcomed Macron’s announcement. “We call on all countries around the world that have not yet recognised the State of Palestine to follow France’s example,” a statement from the terrorists said.

To put this in perspective, I suggest that Mr Macron watches some of the footage of October 7. Perhaps the scene in which Ahmed Fozi Wadia, a Hamas paraglider, strolled into the home of the Taasa family in a village called Netiv Ha’asara – inside internationally-recognised Israel, by the way – and shot 17-year-old Or six times in the head.

He then threw a grenade into the saferoom where the rest of the family was hiding. Or’s father, Gil, a fireman, threw himself onto the grenade to protect his other children and was killed instantly.

Two of his sons were injured in the blast, with eight-year-old Shay’s eye blown out of its socket. As they wailed in confusion, agony and distress, trying vainly to comfort each other, Wadia strolled past the boys and drank a Coca-Cola from the family fridge.

When I first heard that Emmanuel Macron was planning to recognise a state of Palestine, I wondered whether it might be worth asking him to do us all a favour and recognise Britain as having resolved its problem with small boats?

He could recognise his own country as being in the same position, come to that, with a stable government that isn’t likely to be toppled by an insurgent party, an economy that hasn’t been labelled as the EU’s “number one budgetary basket case”, and no hint of a problem with Jews.

Between 2000 and 2017, one in ten French Jewish people emigrated to Israel. Those numbers have only risen since; such is the state of anti-Semitism in the Republic that in Tel Aviv you can now buy a very decent baguette.
