Egypt Hosts 'Peace Talks' While Gaza Bleeds
Mainstream news frames Egypt's hosting of Israeli and Hamas delegations as if 'peace talks' are a fresh development. What they consistently omit is the historical pattern: 'talks' frequently coincide with or immediately follow heightened Israeli military campaigns, offering a veneer of diplomatic engagement while the bulldozing continues. This isn't a new strategy; it's a decades-old tactic, a
revolving door of 'negotiations' that rarely alters the fundamental power imbalance or the ever-shrinking Palestinian land. One might wonder how many more 'deadly attacks' and 'peace summits' are required before the world acknowledges the performative nature of these cycles. Critics argue these talks often serve to legitimize ongoing actions and delay accountability, rather than genuinely halt the
violence. How many times must Gaza be obliterated, only for the perpetrators to then sit down at a 'peace table' as if they're not actively causing the devastation they're supposedly discussing?
