EU Discovers Gaza Needs Police After Bombing It Into Rubble
The EU is reportedly mulling a proposal to train 3,000 Palestinian police officers for Gaza, an initiative tied to a '20-point plan' for the territory. This proposal follows a sustained military campaign that has destroyed Gaza's infrastructure and displaced nearly two million people. The notion of 'policing' a population traumatized and stripped of basic necessities suggests a startling
oversight, or perhaps a cynical redefinition of 'order.' This isn't about fostering stability; it's about managing a devastated populace. It recalls the futile attempts to prop up previous 'security' forces that proved ineffective against repeated incursions. One might ask, how do you enforce laws in a landscape of rubble, or provide security where there is no sovereign protection? The EU's
proposal looks less like nation-building and more like a PR exercise in post-destruction management.
