"The U.S. sharply condemned the announcement by France's President Emmanuel Macron that he wants to recognize a Palestinian state in September, while several other countries, as well as Hamas, signaled their support.
"U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said his country "strongly rejects" Macron's plan.
" 'This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th," he wrote on X.
"U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee ridiculed the plan, noting on X that "Macron's unilateral 'declaration' of a 'Palestinian' state didn't say WHERE it would be. I can now exclusively disclose that France will offer the French Riviera & the new nation will be called 'Franc-en-Stine'."
"In another post, he wrote: "How clever! If Macron can just 'declare' the existence of a state perhaps the UK can 'declare' France a British colony!"
"France has mulled a public recognition of a Palestinian state for several months. According to reports in June, a diplomatic cable showed the U.S. opposes any unilateral recognition, threatening consequences as such a move would directly contradict U.S. foreign policy interests.
"The French AFP news agency said that 142 countries have now declared their recognition of a Palestinian state or intend to do so. Several countries, including Spain, Ireland, and Norway, announced their recognition last year.
"However, the U.S. and most major Western countries have not done so yet." . . .

"Hitler was transcribed as saying: "Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers […] then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world."[27]
"This exchange occurred when Hitler received Saudi Arabian ruler Ibn Saud's special envoy, Khalid al-Hud.[28] Earlier in this meeting, Hitler claimed that one of the three reasons why Nazi Germany had some interest in the Arabs was:Palestinians always have and look to be in the far future to kill every Jew in the world.
