Must-Read: Macron Betrays the West, Recognizing a Palestinian State After the October 7 Massacre Is a Gift to Terror
By: M.Brosh (Author of Cassandra's Shadow)
French President Emmanuel Macron’s intention to recognize a Palestinian state — in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 Massacre is nothing short of a betrayal of Western values: liberty, democracy, and the fight against terror. This is not a “peace process” it’s a shameful prize granted to terrorists who, on October 7th, carried out one of the most brutal massacres of the 21st century: burning entire families alive, gang-raping women, beheading civilians, and executing babies in front of their mothers.
It is a reward for evil and a direct threat to France’s future.
Macron is no fool. He knows that recognizing a Palestinian state in the wake of such horror will embolden Hamas, damage Israel’s legitimacy, and strengthen Islamist momentum throughout Europe. But his motivations are not moral; they are political. Macron is pandering to the growing Muslim electorate in France, a bloc he chooses to appease, even at the cost of aligning his country with genocidal terror.
He may buy temporary calm in the volatile banlieues of Paris, but the long-term cost will be devastating. With this act, Macron is not promoting peace; he is planting the seeds of France’s destruction.
October 7: A Moral Turning Point the West Cannot Ignore
The October 7 Massacre was not a footnote in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — it was a moment of moral clarity. A moment when the true face of Hamas was exposed in full view of the world. A moment when the entire free world should have stood united against such barbarity.
Instead, Macron chose to equivocate.
Rather than defend a democracy under siege, he rewards the perpetrators’ cause. Rather than condemn the ideology that led to the slaughter, he legitimizes its political wing. This is not leadership — this is capitulation.
Surrender Is a French Tradition?
This isn’t the first time France has bowed to terror. During the 1970s and 1980s, Paris gave haven to PLO operatives, turned a blind eye to the growing Islamist networks on its soil, and all but brokered a deal: attack others, not us. But that illusion crumbled with the blood spilled in Charlie Hebdo, in the Bataclan, in Nice, and on the Champs-Élysées.
Now, once again, Macron chooses appeasement over principle. And just like in the past, the fire will return home.
Appeasement of Evil Has a Price
Macron’s moral confusion is not accidental. It reflects a broader European trend: elites who, under the pretense of “justice,” romanticize any enemy of the West. Today it’s Hamas. Tomorrow — it’s the same ideology, blowing up cafés in Paris.
Hamas doesn’t see Macron as a peacemaker. It sees him as weak. As exploitable. As a symbol of the West's decline.
Recognizing Terror Is Not Diplomacy
There is no way to justify supporting a Palestinian state while the blood of October 7 is still fresh. It is not diplomacy, it is moral failure.
History will remember this moment. And history will judge those who chose silence or worse, alliance in the face of such horror.
If France continues down this path, it will not only undermine Israel’s right to self-defense. It will invite the same evil into its streets. And the next massacre may not happen in a kibbutz, but in the heart of Paris.
