Taiwan has a “far more robust” claim to statehood than Palestine does, former British prime minister Boris Johnson said during a conference in Taipei, Taiwan, according to a Tuesday report by British outlet The Telegraph….
“Never in the wildest dreams of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, can he have believed – when he and his colleagues instigated the horror of October 7, 2023 – that only 22 months later the United Kingdom itself would be so craven and pathetic as to fall for Hamas propaganda and to turn against Israel,” Johnson wrote in his column in the UK outlet Daily Mail on Friday.
“Never did Hamas imagine that London would be so easily manipulated as to conclude that the way to end the crisis was specifically to reward Hamas for its mayhem by tearing up its long-standing policy and officially recognising the state of Palestine,” he added.
“From next month we are going to recognise this territory, at least partly controlled by Hamas, as a fully-fledged state – like France, or the United States,” he continued.
“By recognising Palestine, the UK government is effectively claiming that Palestine is an entity with recognised borders, even though those borders are, of course, very far from clear, and the UK is claiming that Palestine has a viable government, when that government is actually shared between Fatah and Hamas, and Hamas, in case you have forgotten, is a psychotic Islamofascist death cult that treats women as second-class citizens and throws gays off rooftops,” he stated.
“We thought it was worthwhile to rid the world of a homicidal Islamist death cult, and we were right. It was awful, but we could see no other way. In the end, it worked, and in the end – grim though things now seem – the Israeli operation will work in Gaza,” Johnson added….
Cannot be said enough.
Vance called Trump Hitler and once there were frictions between Trump and other world leaders and silly angelino97 doesn’t want to admit to updates.
