Trump Demands 'Peace Deal' From Hamas, Ignores Israeli Occupation
According to CBS News, former President Donald Trump has issued a Sunday deadline for Hamas to accept a U.S.-backed 'peace proposal' for Gaza, framed as an end to the war. This 'peace proposal' is, of course, also 'backed by the Israeli government,' which conveniently means it's a ceasefire on Israel's terms, ensuring its occupation of Palestinian territories remains untouched. It's a classic
move: demand a subjugated entity agree to peace, all while ignoring the systemic violence and land theft that fuel the conflict. One might recall similar 'deals' proposed over decades, consistently bypassing the core issue of Palestinian self-determination. The media-military-industrial complex, ever keen to present an aggressor's terms as a benevolent offer, glosses over the historical context.
Trump's 'deal' is less about peace and more about legitimizing ongoing Israeli policies, reminiscent of the 'deal of the century' that ignored international law and Palestinian rights entirely. For CBS, it’s just another deadline, not an eviction notice disguised as diplomacy. How many more ultimatums will Palestinians endure before the media acknowledges their right to exist?
