Supporters of Palestinian Statehood are Colonizers

The Palestinian idea, which emerged in 1920 after the failure of the broader Arab-Syrian project to establish control over British Palestine under King Faisal, was never about independent statehood.

From its inception and throughout its evolution into a particularistic Arab identity, Palestiniansm has remained a territorial-religious concept, not a political or national one.

The call to “liberate Palestine” was never meant to establish an independent, sovereign state in the Western sense, but rather to reclaim territory on behalf of the Islamic Ummah (nation) once it was realized Islam may lose ground to non-muslims. Whether the perceived occupier was Britain (Christian) or Israel (Jewish), the goal was the same: not national self-expression, but religious-territorial liberation. That’s why the rhetoric always revolves around "the land" or "the people", and never truly about national independence (which could have been established 9 different times since 1946).

To the European or Western mind, a sovereign state is the ultimate expression of national spirit - a structured culmination of a people’s will, identity, and history. It represents fulfillment, not just function.

But in the Arab and Muslim world, nationalism, as defined by the West, is largely absent. What exists instead is the Islamic Ummah: a religious-civilizational collective that transcends borders and tribes. Within this framework, Arab states serve as administrative units, not as rooted national entities. Identity is drawn not from the state, but from faith, tribe, and territory.

Think of it as a mystical, Islamic version of the EU, bound not by shared faith.

Loyalty is often rooted in tribal proximity and local affiliation, not in ideological nationalism - with Egypt as the lone partial exception.

Thus, to speak of a “Palestinian state” as a real ends to anything is to impose a foreign construct. It is, at its core, Orientalist and colonialist, a projection of European models onto a region where they do not apply. So why do Western “Palestine cheerleaders” push it so hard? and Why do the Arabs play along so well?

We shall answer this in the coming paragraphs.

Dr. Azmi Bishara, a former Arab-Israeli Member of Knesset who later fled to Qatar after being accused of espionage, said the following when asked about his very own Palestinian Identity: “There is no such thing as a Palestinian - we are Arabic tribes.”

Bishara admitted what anyone living in the middle-east knows. That "Palestinian", let alone "Palestinian Statehood" are merely tools adapted to western language made for advancing broader Tribal-Muslim interests of reclaiming hegemony over a piece of land conquered in the 7th century by the followers of Muhammad (With the help of Jews).

This carefully crafted illusion of a Palestinian State is sold to the Europeans and Americans who can't speak or read Arabic.

It is marketed as a step toward “liberation,” or "Justice", while its aim remains a re-Islamization of the territory under a modern pretense.

Western observers often play along, some genuinely naïve enough to believe that the Arabs just want a state, while Arab leaders understand they have crafted an elegant and effective tactic of diversion that masks deeper ambitions.

For both sides, (West and Arab) the fake call for a Palestinian state, paired with the very real impossibility of its existence, (due to the persistent refusal to recognize a Jewish Israel) creates a working-tension under which the broader Islamic struggle quietly persists. Meanwhile, externally, the conversation remains fixed on the notion of 'statehood,' though in truth, no ordinary Arab in "Palestine" truly yearns such a state at all.

Most Arabs know that once this "state" is secured, the patch of land will be swallowed by one of the larger clans of the Ummah organized within an already established nation-state - either Egypt, Jordan, or Syria.

Therefore, there is no logic in speaking of a sovereign entity which is in reality a hollow rhetorical tool made for white and brown ears in the west, used to mask the deeper goal - dispossession and expulsion of Jews from their ancestral homeland and Islamizing the land of the bible.

That is the real Arab narrative, that those who do not speak Arabic will never know of.

The real question now is: Is Prime Minister Netanyahu sharp and precise enough, at this critical moment, to articulate this truth? And will this core issue stand at the forefront of discussions between the two leaders?
