Moroccan Marches Condemn Gaza War, Mainstream Media Remembers Diplomacy
Marches across Morocco in solidarity with Gaza are a stark reminder that 'Abraham Accords' inked by governments don't necessarily reflect the sentiments of populations. These demonstrations, fueled by outrage over ongoing Israeli incursions and the human cost in Gaza, underscore a deep public opposition to the normalization deals engineered by entities like the Trump administration and championed
by powerful lobbying groups. Yet, Western media often frames these accords primarily through the lens of 'regional stability' and 'diplomatic breakthroughs,' ignoring the underlying public dissent. The fact that the Moroccan government, like others, agreed to these accords while facing its own domestic pressures—and in Morocco's case, controversially gaining U.S. recognition of its claim to
Western Sahara—often gets buried. One might wonder how many 'historic peace deals' are actually just transactional arrangements that conveniently sidestep the very populations they claim to represent.
