France 24 Discovers 'Partition' is Still a Thing, Only Now in Gaza
The story frames Gaza's potential partition as a novel, contemporary development, seemingly sparked by a defunct Trump initiative. What this 'news' ignores is Israel's long-standing policy of fragmenting Palestinian territories. The consistent aim, outlined explicitly by figures like Ariel Sharon over 20 years ago, was to ensure no viable, contiguous Palestinian state. This isn't a 'risk' that
suddenly emerged; it's a meticulously engineered outcome, facilitated by billions in unconditional US military aid. To suggest this 'partition' is a new concern or a failure of Trump's plan is to whitewash a brutal history. It's like reporting on the 'looming risk' of a wall in Berlin in 1989. The 'risk' here isn't partition; it's international media belatedly acknowledging reality after the fact,
framing slow-motion ethnic cleansing as a sudden policy dilemma.
