Martti Kosonen wrote that the Finns Party's line worked according to him. He claimed that the National Coalition Party was distributing money to developing countries, Palestinians, immigrants, organizations, what he characterized as pseudosciences, unnecessary business subsidies, as well as to the EU, the UN, and railways he described as unnecessary, while according to him, the Finns Party did not distribute money for these purposes. Kosonen also claimed that the National Coalition Party was taking money from retirees, heirs, and elderly care facilities. He said the list was endless and considered that the National Coalition Party could no longer function as the governing party, but the Finns Party could. In his writing, he noted the Finns Party, Riikka Purra, and Wille Rydman. https://t.co/MiANyh6CEP #perussuomalaiset #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized the foreign minister's statement, in which he said that Finland is strongly committed to a two-state solution. Mitzner questioned whether the mention was necessary and believed it placed the statement, along with the mentioned 1,200 murdered Israeli citizens, in a political context that weakened the statement. He wondered whether Hamas would have started the attack even if the Gaza Strip, which it governs, had been part of an independent Palestine. According to Mitzner, the attack could have been even broader and targeted Israel's largest settlement centers from the West Bank. #Suomi #Palestina #IsraelinKriisi (translated)

The Daily Bureaucrat provided Martin Paasi with a summary of the cases in which, according to Israel, it would have accepted a two-state model, but the Palestinians did not. The author described the Palestinians as Arabs and estimated that the list was probably not comprehensive. https://t.co/IzGWXauqYK #IsraelinPalestiina #KahdenValtionMalli #LähiItä (translated)

Mikael Lith described Timo R. Stewart as an ideologically biased disseminator of propaganda regarding Palestine and claimed that he overlooked the Palestinians' responsibility for the situation in the Middle East. According to Lith, Stewart did not mention that the Palestinians had repeatedly rejected peace offers that were favorable to them, most recently in 2008. Lith also claimed that Stewart downplayed the significance of terrorism in the Palestinian struggle for independence, in which it had, according to him, played a major role. #Palestiina #LähiItä #terrorismi (translated)

Martin Paasi asked Timo Stewart to clarify Mitzner's observations and referred to the videos he linked to, in which, according to him, Clinton stated that nothing had happened to the Palestinians. According to Paasi, it seemed that the Palestinians had not seized the opportunities presented to them. He questioned why the situation was not as Mitzner and Clinton claimed. #Palestiina #Mitzner #Clinton (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized Timo Stewart for suggesting that he believed Israel was an obstacle to the two-state solution. Mitzner argued that the Palestinians had not accepted Israel's state proposals in direct negotiations, the latest of which were the Camp David and Taba offers in 2000–2001, as well as Ehud Olmert's offers in 2008. He added that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. According to Mitzner, the PLO's decades-old support for the two-state solution did not indicate that the Palestinians accepted Israel's existence as a Jewish state. Mitzner wrote that Stewart viewed the destruction of Hamas's ideology as unrealistic without killing all people. Mitzner interpreted this to mean that Stewart considered all Gazans as supporters of Hamas's ideology, but he himself said he would not go that far. He referred to Hamas's election in Gaza and claimed that no Gazan had attempted to help Israeli hostages in the past couple of years. Mitzner compared the situation to the Allies' victory over Nazism and the defeat of Japan, as well as the actions of the United Arab Emirates against the Muslim Brotherhood. He stated that the Western left should stop rewarding Palestinian violence and anti-Semitism. According to Mitzner, Stewart claimed that there was no Palestinian state because Israel occupied the territory and did not allow it to become independent. Mitzner denied this and described the area's history: according to him, it belonged to the British mandate from 1917 and prior to that to the Ottoman Empire. He wrote that the Arab leadership rejected the UN's 1947 partition plan, after which Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza without establishing a Palestinian state. According to Mitzner, the territories came under Israeli control in the 1967 war, which Jordan, Egypt, and Syria initiated with the intent to destroy, and the Arab world's negative attitude towards Israel continued with the Khartoum resolution of the three no's. Mitzner claimed that Stewart ignored Palestinian actions and concluded by asking whether the dispute ultimately related to the fact that the opposing side was the Jewish state of Israel. #IsraelinVastaisetAsenteet #Palestiinalaiskysymys #KansainvälinenPolitiikka (translated)

Researcher Timo R. Stewart claims that opposition to Israel is the biggest obstacle to the realization of the two-state model in the Israel-Palestine conflict, even though this model remains the clearest proposal for resolving the war. #IsraelinKonflikti #KahdenValtionMalli #Palestiina (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for what he perceived as giving Timo R. Stewart, whom he describes as a Hamas activist, an unchallenged platform to present his book. According to Mäkäräinen, the article adopted Stewart's view regarding the destruction of Gaza, genocide, and Finland's responsibility due to trade with Israel, without hearing the opposing side. Mäkäräinen emphasized that, in his opinion, genocide does not equate to heavy war. He wrote that the International Court of Justice had not ruled on the case against Israel and that interim measures were not a judgment. In his view, civilian casualties can occur in urban warfare where Hamas places rockets, command centers, and tunnels among civilians without the intent of destroying the group. He compared this to the battles of Mosul, Raqqa, and Fallujah, claiming that Stewart began using the term genocide after Israel succeeded in its war against Hamas. According to Mäkäräinen, the Yle article also lacked the starting point of the war: the attack on October 7, in which he claims over 1,200 people died, and which involved rapes and kidnappings. He wrote that Hamas aims for the end of Israel instead of a Palestinian state. He criticized the figures presented by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the article—over 21,600 by December 2023 and over 1,400 after ceasefires—and claimed that the ministry was subordinate to Hamas and that its figures did not differentiate between fighters and civilians. In his view, the article also lacked Israel's perspective that a significant portion of the dead were fighters. Regarding the two-state model, Mäkäräinen wrote that its failure was not solely due to Israel. He claimed that Hamas had rejected the model multiple times and that the Palestinian Authority had turned down offers, such as at Camp David in 2000 and Annapolis in 2008. He added that according to polls, the majority of both Palestinians and Israelis had abandoned the model. He described the cessation of support for UNRWA as a reaction to an organization that, according to him, had ample evidence of connections between its facilities and personnel to Hamas. Mäkäräinen believed that Yle, as a publicly funded media, should not advertise a single essayist as an expert. According to him, the article could have included opposing researchers, Israel's official stance, or addressed Hamas's responsibility for hostages and the use of civilians as shields. He concluded by asking why this had not been done. https://t.co/sHriNitmMo #Gaza #Israel #Hamas (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that the left made a huge mistake and said he considered it a good thing. According to him, Finns were patriotic, and Finland's security came before the security of the Palestinians. Fjäder also shared a link in the headline, which stated that the SDP and Lindtman were taking a huge risk and that Putin was a greater concern for Finns than gas during the election winter of 2027. https://t.co/jaPvBdV73D #Suomi #politiikka #turvallisuus (translated)

At least the hell doesn't let up. Yes, the Democrats are confused. When a Finnish minister visits Israel, he should also go to Palestine. The safety of us Finns comes first, always. We shouldn't join the same government with the Democratic group. #elections2027 #vaalit2027 #politiikka #Suomi #turvallisuus (translated)
