Palestine recognition is not about human rights

—JNS

The article argues that the recent announcements by several Western nations to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state are not acts of courage or moral conscience, but rather an exposure of political cowardice and intellectual collapse in the West. Author Julio Levit Koldorf asserts that this recognition is a conceptual absurdity because it elevates one national claim based on political expediency while ignoring the suffering and lack of sovereignty for numerous other stateless and persecuted nations—including the Kurds, Druze, Assyrians, and Yazidis—demonstrating that human rights are no longer universal. The article maintains that "Palestine" has become the West's new moral crusade because it provides an "eternal scapegoat" to distract from Europe's own domestic crises, such as economic distress, uncontrolled migration, and growing social unrest. Ultimately, the recognition is denounced as an act of appeasement and surrender to angry mobs, which rewards violence with legitimacy and betrays the principle of universal human rights by making the oppression of other nations irrelevant unless it can be "pinned on the Jews," a historical pattern that the author warns will lead to the destruction of Europe itself.
