Al Jazeera Discovers 'New Order' After 75 Years of Imposition
Al Jazeera, in what appears to be a startling revelation, questions how Palestinians should confront a 'new order' being imposed upon them. This 'new order' seems remarkably similar to the 'old order' of displacement, occupation, and strategic erasure that has defined Palestinian existence since 1948. Perhaps the 'new' part refers to the sheer audacity of presenting ongoing subjugation as a fresh
development, rather than the relentless continuum of what Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have both described as apartheid. While the article implies agency, it glosses over the systemic forces ensuring this 'new order' isn't actually new, but merely reinforced. The US, for instance, provides over $3.8 billion annually in military aid to Israel, a consistent policy supported by
politicians who receive substantial campaign contributions. According to OpenSecrets.org, pro-Israel PACs contributed over $27 million to federal candidates in the 2022 election cycle alone. This financial scaffolding is not 'new,' it's foundational, ensuring the 'order' remains precisely as intended, regardless of how many Al Jazeera articles ponder its novelty.
