Western Obsession with Falsely Blaming Israel and Demanding Its Dismemberment Plays Into the Hands of Anti-Western Islamists

#1343 October 11, 2026

WHILE YOU STAND ON ONE LEG:  Western nations obsessed with downplaying Palestinian Arab aggression against Jews in Israel, and demanding an Israel-dismembering Palestinian Arab state in historic Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria, are thereby downplaying their own vulnerability to anti-Western undermining by radical Islamists and opening themselves to challenges to their own existing borders. We have to try to get this across.

Western Obsession with Falsely Blaming Israel and Demanding Its Dismemberment Plays Into the Hands of Anti-Western Islamists

Western nations obsessed with falsely heaping blame upon Israel – “apartheid … occupation … genocide … colonialism, etc.” – and demanding its surrender of historic Jerusalem and defensible biblical Judea-Samaria highland are paying a price – downplaying their own vulnerability to radical Islamist undermining of Western values in their own countries, and inviting challenges to the legitimacy of their own borders. We American Jews have to try to get this through to them. 

Unwholesome Islamic Influence in European States

France

Most recently, France, for one, inaccurately shot its mouth off just now at the UN, with Macron pooh-poohing Hamas attacking Israel in Judea-Samaria (the world’s “West Bank”).  A 9/23/26 France 24/AFP article, “Israel Blasts ‘Grotesque Absurdity’ of Macron’s Remarks on West Bank,” reported that Israel sees far graver unjust assaults upon it by the French:

“Netanyahu has poor relations with Macron who led a push by Western nations at last year’s UN General Assembly to recognise a Palestinian state.

“France recently joined Britain in imposing sanctions on products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, again angering the Israeli government.”  [emphasis added]

Within days of Macron’s dismissal of Hamas’ role in Judea-Samaria at the UN, his own government encountered less pooh-poohable Palestinian Arab unsettling influence closer to home.  Fox News, this Saturday,10/10/26, “France Is Devouring Itself as School Riots Reveal a Crisis Far Bigger Than Broken Classrooms”:

“The demonstrations have also raised questions about whether Islamist groups and pro-Palestinian activists are seeking to use the unrest to advance broader ideological causes.

“Rodan-Benzaquen argued that Mélenchon’s emphasis on Gaza and the Palestinian cause has helped bring together political constituencies that might otherwise have little in common.

“‘It’s sort of the idea of sort of an intersection of different movements where they manage to bring together the different groups, the far left, Islamist movements, pro-Palestinian activists,’ she said.

“She pointed to Palestinian flags appearing during the demonstrations as an indication of how the movement has expanded beyond its original educational demands.” [emphasis added]

Spain

Google AI: “Diplomatic relations between Spain and Israel have reached their lowest point in decades following severe escalations over the wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.”  Spain formally recognized “Palestine” in 2024.  In March of this year, “Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador from Israel.” Wikipedia: Spain is “among the most outspoken European critics of Israel’s conduct in the war.”

But among the classics of European journalism is a Spanish writer’s 2008 essay “All European Life Died in Auschwitz”:

“I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth — Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed thechosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world….

“And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride….”  [emphasis added]

Those Seeking Israel’s Dismemberment Ought to Think Twice

So what’s the only manmade object on Earth that can be seen through the naked eye from the Moon?  The Great Wall of China, you say?  Wrong, it’s “Israel’s 1967 borders,” i.e., the long-defunct Jordan-Israel military ceasefire lines of 1949, never among the Holy Land’s holy places, and expressly declared in their defining document not to constitute international borders. All other international boundaries may be viewed as less than Eternal.

Britain

Take, for instance, Great Britain’s borders.  Britain defied its own role as trustee of the Palestine Mandate’s Jewish national home by barring Jewish immigration there before, during and after the Holocaust.  It was the sole recognizer (along with Pakistan) of invader Jordan’s 1948-1967 seized rule of historic Jerusalem. 

These days Britain has joined France (France 24 article above) in “imposing sanctions on products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank,” and championing dismemberment of Israel through “the two-state solution.” Charmingly, Britain still considers “East” (i.e., historic) Jerusalem to be ‘occupied territory’” (JTA, 10/8/26, “British Consulate in Jerusalem to be Downgraded, 20 Diplomats Asked to Leave”). Btw, as Dr. Chaim Weizmann put it to Britain, “Jews were living in Jerusalem when London was a marsh.”

But today, Britain is facing threats of its own dismemberment, not only of the Falkland Islands by Argentina, but of coordinated independence rumblings in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Canada

Google AI: “Canada’s long-standing policy is committed to a two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians live side-by-side in peace and security. In September 2025, Canada officially recognized the State of Palestine as part of a coordinated international effort to preserve this framework.”

And today, Canada is threatened with its own dismemberment, not only in Quebec in its east, but also by Alberta in its west.

Bottom Line

When the “school” rioting erupted in France just days after Macron downplayed Hamas’ actions in Judea-Samaria at the UN, it seemed to me that the Geller Report was alone in citing “pro-Palestinian” seizure of the unrest, openly with Palestinian flags. Finally, Harris Faulkner and Fox News came along (e.g., Saturday’s article quoted above).  We grassroots U.S. Jews have to try to make the case that furthering of anti-Western Islamist agendas is the same all over, and that false maligning of Israel seizes on antisemitism in host countries to further extreme anti-Western Islamist agendas. 

We must also endeavor to get across to publics in the West that our Jewish presence in the land of Israel has been continuous for three thousand years; that Palestine has long been divided along the Jordan River between Arabs (three-quarters) and Jews (one-quarter); that Israel, supported by us, cannot/will-not meekly withdraw from its capital, Jerusalem, or defensible Judea-Samaria biblical heartland; and that if the Palestinian Arab majority of Jew-free eastern Palestine, Jordan, cannot get along with that part of Palestine’s Hashemite rulers, it’s there that a “two-state solution” should be created.
