Trump's 'New' Palestine Plan: Same Old Erasure, Different Decade
Donald Trump's alleged plan to further diminish any Palestinian say in their future is framed as a shocking new development. Yet, for observant critics, it's less a plan and more a rerun of every US 'peace' effort since the Oslo Accords, all while funnelling billions in military aid to actors fundamentally opposed to Palestinian statehood. Consider the consistent lack of accountability for illegal
settlements, the ongoing annexation through creeping expansion, and the routine vetoes of UN resolutions aimed at protecting Palestinian rights. This isn't innovation; it's just the steady beat of US foreign policy drumming to the rhythm of AIPAC. One might wonder when the media will recognize that 'peace plans' devised without the direct, sovereign input of the oppressed aren't peace plans at
all, but blueprints for continued subjugation. How many times must the US administration—regardless of party—propose a 'vision' that conveniently erases millions of people from their own land before we call it what it is: a continuation of a decades-long policy to deny Palestinian existence?
