Netanyahu Joins Trump's 'Board of Peace' – A masterclass in Orwellian newspeak
📰 THE STORY: Al-Monitor reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted Donald Trump's invitation to join a new 'Board of Peace,' proposed as an initiative to end the conflict in Gaza and potentially expand to other global flashpoints. The announcement was reportedly made via Netanyahu's office on X. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: This 'peace initiative'
comes from figures who have presided over, endorsed, or actively escalated conflict. Donald Trump unilaterally moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018, defying decades of international consensus and igniting further tensions. Netanyahu's tenure as Prime Minister has been marked by multiple major military operations in Gaza, including the 2023-2024 genocide where over 40,000 Palestinians have
been killed, 70% of whom are women and children. His government has consistently rejected a two-state solution and overseen aggressive settlement expansion. Double Standard: Imagine if a leader, responsible for bombing civilian infrastructure and blockading a population for 17 years, joined a 'Board of Peace' proposed by a Russian president. Western media would universally condemn it as a farcical
propaganda stunt. Yet, when Netanyahu, who has overseen the methodical destruction of Gaza, is invited by a former US president, it's presented as a legitimate news item. The term 'peace' is grotesquely redefined when applied to actions by allied states, whereas adversaries committing lesser (or even fictional) offenses are branded 'war criminals.'
