Western countries have recently joined a global majority in recognizing a Palestinian state, despite it lacking the traditional markers of statehood. This move is perceived in Israel as a diplomatic crisis and a threat to its survival, with concerns that it rewards terrorism and carries negative consequences for the West itself. The article argues that Western governments may be motivated by appeasement of growing, radicalized Muslim populations, but warns that such appeasement is historically ineffective and dangerous.

To counter these trends, the author urges Israel to launch a comprehensive diplomatic and educational campaign to expose the dangers of recognizing a Palestinian state. The piece emphasizes that Israel's struggle is not only for its own survival, but also for the future of Western liberal democracy, which faces threats from radical Islam. The author calls for Western nations to support Israel, asserting that the fate of the West is intertwined with Israel's fight against extremism.
