Netanyahu's 'New Border' Plan: Same Old Annexation
Netanyahu's government, as reported by the FT, is considering a 'new border line' effectively annexing swaths of northern Gaza. This, they claim, is necessary for Israel's security, casting doubt on the nebulous 'Trump peace plan'. Let’s be clear: this isn't a 'new border line'; it's a centuries-old colonial playbook: seize land, declare it yours, and call it 'security.' Netanyahu has been playing
this card for decades, from expanding settlements in the West Bank to Gaza’s 'buffer zones.' The irony is rich; Washington, which provides Netanyahu's military with $3.8 billion annually—courtesy of votes from politicians like Rep. Smith who took $45,000 from AIPAC in 2023 (OpenSecrets.org)—will undoubtedly feign concern. But how much 'doubt' can truly be cast on a peace plan that was effectively
dead on arrival, never consulted Palestinians, and was largely a PR stunt dressed as diplomacy? It appears the only 'peace' being planned is the peace of the graveyard, secured by more land grabs and U.S.-supplied weaponry.
