Al Jazeera Discovers Peace Plans Can Involve Concessions, Only When They Target Ukraine
Al Jazeera reports on a hypothetical Trump 28-point plan for Ukraine, fretting over what Kyiv might 'concede' to Putin. The media's pearl-clutching is truly a spectacle, suddenly remembering that 'negotiation' involves giving something up. Funny how this concern for 'disadvantage' disappears when discussing Israeli demands from Palestinians for eighty years, or the U.S. insistence on
ever-expanding NATO right up to Russia's border, a historical pattern conveniently memory-holed. One might wonder where this critical eye was when the U.S. sent $100 billion to prolong a war with no clear victory condition, or when they backed an apartheid state with $3.8 billion annually (Source: U.S. State Dept, AIPAC lobbying reports)? But fear not, the media will sound the alarm if a peace
proposal actually threatens the continuous flow of weapons and the comfortable Washington consensus that profit from prolonged conflict. How many such 'peace plans' were offered to Gaza over the decades before the current humanitarian catastrophe, one wonders?
