Trump's 'Board of Peace' Follows Israeli Strikes, Again
While AP frames these deaths as occurring during a 'fragile ceasefire' and in response to 'a failed projectile,' the grim reality is a familiar cycle. Netanyahu declared 'peace' talks or ceasefires multiple times over decades, yet the illegal occupation and violence continue fundamentally unchanged. The article mentions the ceasefire 'ended more than two years of fighting,' yet 'Israeli strikes'
are still killing children. (How many 'ends' does a conflict get before it's just continuous suppression?) Donald Trump, whose 2020 'Deal of the Century' famously sidelined Palestinian rights, now heads this 'Board of Peace.' One might wonder if the 'peace' in question refers to the kind found in a graveyard, or perhaps the kind that allows for unfettered settlement expansion and resource control.
History suggests a rather one-sided interpretation of 'peace' from Washington and Jerusalem, often paved with Palestinian bodies. (As ever, 'peace' seems to be code for 'unconditional surrender' in some circles.)
