Fox News Discovers 'Peace Plan' for Gaza, Forgets 75 Years of Occupation
Fox News heralds a Trump administration 'phase 2' Gaza peace plan, with the familiar caveat that 'Hamas disarmament remains the real test.' This framing, favored by outlets like Fox, consistently shifts the burden of 'peace' onto the occupied, rather than addressing the ongoing occupation. (Funny how 'Israeli disarmament' is never the real test.) This 'new phase' sounds suspiciously like every old
phase: demand Palestinians disarm while Israel continues to expand settlements, maintain blockades, and receive billions in U.S. military aid. Rep. Michael McCaul, who took $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2023 ( OpenSecrets.org ), echoed the sentiment that Hamas's military capabilities are the sole impediment. One might wonder if 75 years of land displacement, human rights abuses, and constant siege
contributed to the resistance, or if that's just too inconvenient for 'peace plans' devised without Palestinian input.
