Trump Declares Israel 'Won't Do Anything' With West Bank
When asked if Israel would annex the West Bank, Trump declared, 'Israel’s not going to do anything with the West Bank.' One might wonder if 'anything' includes the construction of 150+ settlements, housing over 700,000 Israeli settlers since 1967, all deemed illegal under international law. Or perhaps the systematic demolition of Palestinian homes, displacement of families, and the intricate web
of checkpoints and walls. (Because, you know, that's 'nothing'). This declaration comes from an individual whose administration recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and endorsed Israeli West Bank settlements. The historical record, available to anyone with an internet connection, clearly shows a consistent policy of de facto annexation. To claim 'nothing' will happen is not just a dismissal of
history, but an endorsement of ongoing apartheid. It's almost as if 'nothing' in political doublespeak means 'everything we've already done, and then some, but we'd prefer you didn't look too closely.'
