Gaza 'Reconstruction' Architects: Bombing Contractors, Ex-PMs, and Ivanka's Husband
CBS News dutifully reported that Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff are poised to oversee Gaza's 'reconstruction.' One might generously call this an interesting choice. Tony Blair, fresh from orchestrating the Iraq War's disastrous aftermath, now offers his unique brand of 'stability.' Marco Rubio, a stalwart recipient of AIPAC funds (taking $198,395 in 2022-2024 cycle alone
), brings the 'non-partisan' touch. Then there's Jared Kushner, whose 2020 'Peace to Prosperity' plan largely ignored Palestinian self-determination, and Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer. This isn't reconstruction; it's a development deal with a body count. The media frames this as a forward-looking effort, but it's really the same playbook: destroy, then install 'friendly' overseers to
manage the rubble. Given the coalition's track record – from Blair's 'dodgy dossier' to Kushner's desert island fantasies – one might wonder if 'reconstruction' is simply code for 'preparing the land for new investment opportunities.' After all, who better to rebuild what was demolished than those whose policies often led to the demolition in the first place?
