Australia's absurd recognition of a Nonexistent State

 Let’s not sugarcoat this — Australia’s Labor government is about to gift-wrap recognition to a so-called “Palestinian state”, and it couldn’t look more ridiculous.

Let’s break down just why this move is a total farce.

1. No State Exists — Only Wishful Thinking

According to the UN’s own criteria, to be a legitimate state, you need:

• A defined territory with agreed borders

• A permanent population

• A functioning sovereign government

• The capacity to engage in diplomatic relations

• To be a peace-loving entity

Guess what? Palestine doesn’t tick any of those boxes right now. There isn’t a single, unified government—Hamas rules Gaza, the PA controls parts of the West Bank, and both are at odds with one another. No borders have been agreed upon, there's a conflict with Israel ongoing, and diplomatic consistency? Nonexistent.

2. Albanese Wants to Reward Before Conditions Are Met

Anthony Albanese wants Palestine to meet demilitarisation, recognition of Israel, and peaceful coexistence, yet he’s paving the way to recognise them first. That’s like giving someone your car before they pass the driving test and insisting they’ll obey all the traffic laws… someday.

It’s absurd. The conditions he says matter could easily just evaporate after recognition because there’s no mechanism to enforce them. It’s not just weak leadership—it’s political theatre.

3. The Timing Stinks — This Is Rewarding War, Not Peace

By fast-tracking recognition now, sweet on the heels of the Hamas-instigated war, Australia is rewarding violence. Hamas attacked Israel, sparked a conflict, and Australia applauds.

Imagine a burglar breaks in, and you hand them the keys to your house in peace. That’s exactly what this move feels like. It sends a twisted message: violence yields diplomatic recognition.

4. The Woke Choir Isn’t Thinking It Through

Yes, some will chant that this is a stand for justice, given the number of civilian deaths in Gaza. Of course, all the deaths in Gaza are due to Hamas. After all, had they not started the war, there would be no death. And they could stop the war today by returning the hostage and laying down arms. But irrespective of these arguments, without statehood fundamentals—governance, borders, peace—recognition is symbolic at best, delusional at worst. It won’t help Palestinians; it’ll give legitimacy to infighting and terror endorsements. And it erodes our credibility on the world stage.

This isn’t a debate. It's a national embarrassment.

Australia, you deserve better than world-class virtue signalling. You deserve clarity, not chaos.
