Trump's 'Peace' Summit: Gaza in Ruins, Billions for Bombs
While hundreds of thousands of Palestinians surveyed their ruined homes, Donald Trump prepared to chair an 'international summit' on his 'peace plan.' This isn't the first time an American president has presided over a 'peace process' while Gaza is under siege. Historically, these 'summits' rebrand occupation as diplomacy, with little regard for the actual devastation on the ground. (Remember the
'Deal of the Century' that ignored Palestinian self-determination entirely?) The sheer gall of discussing 'peace' while the human cost of conflict is so stark should astound. How many 'peace plans' must be meticulously crafted on the ashes of Palestinian cities before anyone notices the pattern? It appears 'peace' is a negotiation for everyone but the victims.
