Trump's 'Gaza Peace': Just Another Ceasefire Before the Next War
Mainstream media now delicately pokes holes in Donald Trump's self-proclaimed 'Gaza peace' credentials. But they often miss the actual point. His 'peace' was less a lasting solution and more a temporary lull in bombardment, often preceding, or indeed creating the conditions for, the next major escalation. Remember, every Israeli 'peace' initiative from Oslo to Abraham Accords has coincided with
increased settlement expansion and the continued dispossession of Palestinians, as documented by groups like B'Tselem. This isn't peace; it's managed conflict. Suggesting Trump ushered in 'peace' requires conveniently forgetting the blockades, the military incursions, and the ever-tightening siege that defined Gaza long before and long after his term. For decades, what gets labeled 'peace' by
Western media and politicians is often just a strategically timed pause while more land is taken, more homes are demolished, and the conditions for the next eruption of violence are carefully cultivated. It’s a recurring cycle, and celebrating a 'peace' that merely resets the clock for future conflict is propaganda, not journalism.
