Dear Europeans: Don't be naive, Oct. 7 can happen to you too - opinion

Support for a Palestinian state strengthens the terrorists working to destroy Israel. So be sure that after the monsters are done with us, you will find them on your doorstep.

It is doubtful whether the European countries, which declared their support for recognizing a Palestinian state this week, delved into the chilling video that was revealed, in which the brutal abduction of our female observers to Gaza is documented.

If the Europeans spared a few minutes of their precious time, they would discover again what they seem to have forgotten: that on October 7, hundreds of terrorists infiltrated and massacred, raped, and kidnapped hundreds of innocent Israeli citizens.

Surely, the polite Europeans would have noticed that the terrorists belong to an organization known as "Hamas." The same organization that now warmly welcomes their decision to recognize the state of Palestine.

There is one fundamental difference between us and those countries: this brutal terrorism has already reached us, but not yet them. Anyone with eyes in their head knows it's only a matter of time.

They, who naively speak diplomatically, are convinced that the way to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East will come by giving a huge gift to a terrorist organization that was established with one goal - to destroy us. Well, our friends in Europe, peace is made with countries that really strive for peace, not with extreme, fundamentalist Islam.

They do not yet know

The leaders of the peaceful European countries do not (yet) know what an exploding bus is, what a giant bulldozer attempting to run over people, what a passing vehicle shooting at innocent citizens at a bus stop, what a family whose children are hiding, trembling in fear and terror in the wardrobe lest they be slaughtered by human animals.

If those prime ministers and government members were anxious for their lives and the lives of their families, or God forbid, if they woke up in Norway, Ireland, or Spain to a cursed morning like October 7 - then they would think differently.

If those same thousands of terrorists were to break into homes in Seville, Dublin, or Oslo, pull Carlos, Frank, or Jan out of their beds on a holy holiday morning while wearing pajamas, and drag them with blows and at gunpoint on a motorcycle into a bloodthirsty crowd, they must have internalized that the peace they are sure they will achieve with the help of the establishment of a Palestinian state is realistic only in dreams. Dreams in Spanish of an Israeli reality that they will never understand.

In Europe, they invest a lot in children's education and in the development of citizens' culture. In Hamas, on the other hand, they invest in educating children to kill Jews. Babies suckle this culture from the first pacifier that enters their mouths, and they grow up on the knees of a monstrous Torah of murder and slaughter.

Burning babies, raping girls and women, abducting civilians into tunnels and torturing them there, executions in front of family and friends, massacring young people who came to spend time at a party alongside documenting these moments of happiness with shouts of victory - for them, they are the fulfillment of the pathway to their main idea: establishing a state.

Support for a Palestinian state strengthens those who work for the destruction of the State of Israel. After they are done with us, they will continue and spread to the West, to classical and non-classical Europe, and in general, wherever they manage to set foot.

European leaders, don't be naive. Don't say, "It won't happen to us". Even here, with us, there were once Israelis who thought that this would not happen to them. They also found out the hard way that the terrorists are not asking for peace, only control that will be achieved by gaining territory.

And remember dear Europeans, none of these monsters will shed a tear for a decapitated head, neither in Beeri nor in Barcelona.
