Rebuild Gaza? Developer Says Ask Those Who Blew It Up
Dubai real estate giant Emaar's founder, Mohammed Alabbar, told Reuters he's not inclined to rebuild Gaza, stating 'everybody should clean up his garbage.' A refreshing dose of candor, perhaps, given the usual diplomatic obfuscation. The mainstream media frames this as a simple business decision, but elides the obvious question: who, precisely, is responsible for this particular mountain of
garbage? While Al-Monitor quotes Alabbar's pointed remark, they—like most corporate media—avoid naming the elephant in the room. This isn't just about 'post-war' reconstruction; it’s about rebuilding after a deliberate, documented campaign. The US, with its endless supply of F-16s and bombs for Israel, has voted repeatedly against ceasefires. For instance, on October 27, 2023, the US voted against
a UN Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian truce. One might wonder if the 'those responsible' Alabbar spoke of includes the architects of this destruction and their enablers. After all, funding the demolition while asking others to fund the reconstruction is a peculiar business model.
