“Maybe now they’ll shut up and pay their maintenance fees, which they haven’t in like two years.”
Ramat HaSharon, August 20 – Hamas scored another resounding diplomatic victory today with its genocidal violence as two housing units in this Tel Aviv suburb have elected to recognize the State of Palestine as a legitimate sovereign entity, a representative of the two flats announced today.
The flatmates who inhabit Apartment 3, and the middle-aged couple who reside in Apartment 4, at 35 Herzl Street in Ramat HaSharon, announced this morning that following the declarations of France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia that those governments will recognize the State of Palestine in just a few weeks, they, too, have seen fit to issue such recognition, and they expect it to have the same effect as those of France, the UK, Canada, and Australia.
“We must offer encouragement to the forces of moderation,” explained Bar Shani, a musician, of Apartment 3. “The only way forward is a State of Palestine. That will sideline the radicals. Our only regrets are that we did not do this sooner, and that the other units in this building did not join us in issuing this long-overdue recognition of Palestine as a state.”
Dafna and Richard Siegel, both academics, live in Apartment 4. “The others will come around to the inevitability,” predicted Richard. “We’ve known for decades that a State of Palestine is the only viable outcome of anything. I’ve heard the argument that this recognition is a reward to Hamas for October 7, but to accept that, you have to abandon the axiom that everything bad is Bibi’s fault, and we will not abandon that axiom.”
Other residents in the building either ignored or dismissed the move. “Those two have tried to hijack every Residents’ Committee meeting since 2018,” observed Sasha Frimov of Apartment 6. “Maybe now they’ll shut up and pay their maintenance fees, which they haven’t in like two years. That must be Bibi’s fault too, somehow, right?”
“And people say Haredim are parasites,” he spat.
Analysts believe residents in at least two more apartment buildings in the greater Tel Aviv area will make a similar announcement in the coming weeks, though the timing of the recognition may differ. “The governments planning to recognize Palestine plan to do so as part of the UN General Assembly gathering in September,” explained political commentator Itai Spivak. “The people here, though, don’t need to time their recognition of a State of Palestine for any such demonstrative effect. They just do it to feel virtuous.”
