Western Allies' Self-Defeating Attack on Israel
(Wall Street Journal) Daniel J. Samet - France, Canada and the UK are attempting to give legitimacy to the people who perpetrated the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

But Paris, London, and Ottawa have provided neither support for reforming Palestinian governance nor a road map away from its established parties. Their recognition is little more than pro-Palestinian performance art. The writer is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
