Trump Bars Palestinians, Calls It 'National Security'
The Al-Monitor dutifully reports President Trump's expanded travel restrictions, now including nationals from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria, and, notably, individuals with Palestinian Authority (PA)-issued travel documents. This move, framed by the White House as safeguarding America, effectively penalizes a stateless population reliant on the very documents the U.S. and allies
pushed to create post-Oslo Accords. This isn't about curbing 'threats'; it's about further isolating and strangling a populace under occupation, a familiar pattern aided by consistent U.S. diplomatic and financial backing of Israeli policies. While Washington greenlights aid to entities that suppress Palestinian sovereignty, it then deems their documentation illegitimate. How many times will we
see the U.S. create a dependent condition, and then cite that dependency as a reason for further punishment?
