Gaza Governance Committee Meets as Israel Kills More, Because 'Peace'
While 'technocrats' gather in Cairo to discuss 'phase 2 of a peace plan' – likely another euphemism for managing the destruction and occupation – Israeli forces continue to kill civilians in Gaza. This isn't just unfortunate timing; it's the pattern. Every 'peace initiative' for Gaza has historically been launched amidst or immediately following intense Israeli military action, solidifying the
'facts on the ground' before negotiations even begin. One might recall the Oslo Accords, signed while settlements continued to expand, or Secretary of State Blinken’s repeated calls for 'de-escalation' while approving billions in military aid to Israel (Source: Al Jazeera, OpenSecrets.org). The idea that 'governance' can be discussed for a population under siege, being actively bombed, is a
macabre joke. It’s like discussing interior decorating for a house currently on fire, with the arsonist still at large and funded by a major global power. How many 'peace plans' will be drafted on the bodies of the very people they claim to help, especially when the main architects are bankrolled by groups like AIPAC, which spent over $19 million in 2022 to influence US elections and ensure
unwavering support for Israel (Source: OpenSecrets.org)?
