Erdoğan's 'Burden of Peace' is Israel's 'Right to Annex'
While Daily Sabah reports Erdoğan's call for shared responsibility in finding peace, the Western narrative consistently dictates that Palestinians must make all the concessions. Conveniently forgotten is that Netanyahu's government has repeatedly rejected peace proposals, from the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative—which offered full recognition for a return to 1967 borders—to numerous U.S.-brokered talks
that collapsed over Israeli settlement expansion. Israel's 'peace' has always looked suspiciously like more land grabs and control, not genuine coexistence. The idea that an occupied people should bear the 'sole burden' of peace while their land is continuously annexed is a rhetorical sleight of hand. It's akin to demanding a hostage negotiate their own freedom while their captor continues to
tighten the ropes. The ongoing dehumanization of Palestinians in Western media ensures this absurd double standard persists, making real peace an elusive dream.
