French President Emmanuel Macron has announced to the world that in September, at the opening of the UN General Assembly, he intends to announce that France will recognize “the state of Palestine.” This promise was greeted with approval both from the Palestinian Authority, that hopes to rule that future state, and by Hamas, that knows it will rule that future state, and will use that state as a launching pad for future attacks on Israel. Meanwhile, Israelis of every persuasion denounced Macron’s announcement, calling it a “betrayal” and an “abandonment of Israel” and accusing Macron of behaving like the Vichy regime, in making an alliance with the “new Nazis” of Hamas. And Donald Trump dismissed it, saying that “what he [Macron] said doesn’t matter.” Others think that it will matter, and not in a good way.
British journalist Brendan O’Neill lets loose at Macron here: “President Macron is playing with fire by recognising Palestine,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, July 25, 2025:
A French leader is appeasing fascists again. This time it’s Emmanuel Macron and the beneficiary of his pusillanimity is Hamas. The president has announced that France will unilaterally recognise a State of Palestine in September. That will be on the cusp of the second anniversary of Hamas’s 7 October pogrom when it sent a 6,000-strong army to rape and butcher the Jews of southern Israel. Is that the reward for Jew-murder now, Monsieur Macron – nationhood?
Macron made his imperious statement in a post on X – where else? ‘I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine’, he said, with more than a hint of Napoleonic hubris. Other nations have recognised Palestine before – 147 in total, including Ireland, Spain and Norway in a noisy joint virtue-signal last May. But France is hands down the most significant Western player to recognise Palestine. Which means this is a gesture likely to have far-reaching consequences.
Anyone who doubts that Macron’s statement brought joy to the Jew-killers of Hamas need only look at their response. The nutters are thrilled. Macron’s recognition of Palestine is a ‘positive step in the right direction’, they said. And all other nations should ‘follow France’s example’. So even though Macron’s statement made a nod to the need to ‘demilitarise’ Hamas, still Hamas is delighted. It knows, even if Macron does not, that French recognition of Palestine less than two years after that barbarous pogrom adds up to an implicit acceptance that mass murder works; that killing Jews has benefits….
So Jews do not feel safe in France, and Israelis now worry that France has emboldened their anti-Semitic enemies on their borders. Is that to be Macron’s legacy – a failure to protect Jews at home and a cavalier attitude to the safety of Jews overseas? Overseeing a nation that many Jews have felt compelled to flee, and then endangering the nation they fled to? For shame. His self-aggrandising recognition of Palestine is a reminder that the road to hell is paved with signalled virtue.
Macron’s craven attempt to win favor with the Muslims of France — now some 10% of the population — will not succeed. The Muslims in France, as elsewhere in Europe, refuse to be integrated into a society built by Infidels, who are “the most vile of created beings.” They know that they must not take Christians or Jews as friends, “for they are friends only with each other.” They are biding their time, knowing that demography is destiny, and that Muslim women in France have fertility rates close to twice that of the indigenous French. They will pocket the win that Macron has just given them, but give him nothing in return. Meanwhile, Macron has pleased the men of Hamas, the same men who on October 7, 2023 raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 Israelis. He has said he will “recognize a state of Palestine,” but has said nothing about just how he intends to persuade Israel to give up territory to which, by history, by the Mandate for Palestine, and by UN Security Resolution 242, the Israelis are entitled to retain. He has said nothing about how he would make sure that this “state of Palestine” is to be “demilitarized.” He has not explained what he thinks will happen to the half-million Israeli Jews who now live in Judea and Samaria, territory that he no doubt thinks will be included in this new “state of Palestine.”
As Brendan O’Neill says, Macron has presided over a state from which Jews are fleeing because of the virus of antisemitism that Muslims in France have spread, and he has at the same time made less safe the nation — Israel — to which they have fled. In the war between Islamic jihadis and the Jewish state, Macron has chosen to side with the former and abandon the latter. His appeasement must not be forgotten.

May M. Macron’s family bury him with the same honor as they buried Pierre Laval. And for all that France has done, it be reviled and despised in the generations to come. M. Macron, the Laval and Quisling of his time. This, sir, is your legacy. But your country won’t care. They will all be Moslem. And Notre Dame will become another Hagia Sophia. What say you?
somehistory says
macron sees the lay of the land….mozzies are winning at the ballot box and he’s trying to keep his head by appeasing the terrorists. (appeasement of terrorists and those intent on ruling the earth, will not work)
And hamas has no “men.” Males and lots of them; but no men.

Like Mike Huckabee noted, they can have that Pali state somewhere in France. He suggested the French Riviera, where their elites live, but I think the suburb of Paris, where all government bureaucrats and politicians live, would be more appropriate. Yeah, they’ll lack the seafront property, but what the heck: that area of Paris can be made into Gaza
Elena Feder says
Short and to the point. The only thing missing is Macron’s motives.
Is he perhaps trying to distract the world from the personal scandal brewing since Owens popped the lid?
His announcement comes on the heels of publicly pledging to bring the power of the State down on a sensationalist podcaster, vile as she may be on this and other issues, a bottom feeder, midget on her own right.
Both are grandiose gestures. Both show Macron out to be a moral midget, an immature child crying foul when caught with his pants down, going on a rampage. He is a failed leader, a traitor to the values of the Republic he once swore to uphold, bruised values that shielded him for far too long.
The sooner the French people give him the boot, the less of a mess to mop up they, and the rest of us, will be left with.
Westman says
Recognize a Palestinian State? How would France refuse “Palestinian” refugees?
Imagine Paris, the Louvre, a cracked glass entrance and halls almost empty of anything representing Western life and past civilizations. The Venus de Milo, St Mary, and other sculptures lie smashed with a sign declaring this is the proper end of civilizations that do not pray to Allah. The paintings are gone, some sold for money to support jihad and those considered to undermine Islam, burned in a public display.
The city is in shambles, decaying with litter in the streets after the native French have gone. No tourists come, it’s considered too dangerous.
It’s amazing how much arrogance the European elite must possess to imagine themselves and offspring surviving the Islamic forces they have promoted.
Dan W Dagovitz says
The final sign that France has surrendered its people into “dhimmitude”. The transition into the Islamic Republic of France has begun.
Allahu Akbar!
“We the People” will not surrender the United States; we will fight and die for our nation; it will remain the nation of freedom of religion with the Jews and Christians in control.
Praise the Lord….
And pass the Ammunition!
God Bless America and Israel!
We Stand Together against the Barbarian hordes…

That the President of France, Macron, alone with many other politicians of the nation of French nation have every intention of recognizing such a as a “Palestinian state” is further evidence that the Muslims on the country are very much engaged on the stealth jihad with their infiltration and influence In the French government is so strong that this new policy of folly is now being carried through.
Hamas had proven not only the its words but ,more terrible murderous actions, starting on October 7th, that it wants to completely destroy the State of Israel and even commit genocide worldwide on the Jewish people. That Hamas jihad attack and continued further Islam terror/murder attacks reveals the terrible folly and total lack of wisdom in the very idea of a two-state solution.
Therefore, that so called “two state solution” is not really a valid idea and not a genuine solution. It will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.
Thus, a “two state solution” is out of the question. It’s a policy which will only escalate terrorism in the Middle East ..This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception, a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
To put all this in another way , October7th with those Hamas Islamic terror murderous jihadist attacks into Israel from Gaza exposes that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel. Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. Therefore, those “peace talks” are a hoax.
For the “Palestinian” leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. This insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad . Such sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocket attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel. For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]
Walter Sieruk says
The Muslims who are also stealth jihadists with their direct and insidious, insidious manipulation in the French President ,Macron, resulted in that nation favoring that horrible policy of terrible folly called “the two –state solution.
This is one example out of many that that the often used term used in the West, which is “political Islam.” is nonsensical and redundant as well as unknown in the Islamic world.
Therefore, it needs to be made clear as to why that Western term is nonsensical and redundant. As explained by two statements.
First, as for that term being nonsensical one devout Muslim who, truly, proclaimed “Islam is Islam.”
Second. as for that term being redundant, has been well explained by none other Ayatollah Khomeini who declared” All Islam is politics.” [1]

Meanwhile, I have heard no comment from the men who stormed the beaches at Normandy in 1944. Betrayal is SOP among the French government of today.
