Progressive countries have recently moved to recognize a Palestinian Arab state, a decision the article argues rewards terrorism and undermines Israel's legitimacy. The piece asserts that there is no historical or archaeological evidence for a sovereign Palestinian nation and claims the concept of Palestinian identity is a modern political invention aimed at erasing Jewish history. It contends that Arab populations in the region are largely descended from more recent immigrants and that the refugee status of Palestinians has been uniquely politicized to delegitimize Israel. The article criticizes Western nations for what it describes as performative support of Palestine and accuses them of ignoring historical realities and enabling antisemitism. It concludes that ceasefire plans and recognition of Palestinian statehood will not bring lasting peace, as they fail to address what the author sees as the fundamental ideological opposition to Jewish sovereignty in the region.
