Trump Suggests Iran-Israel Normalization, Forget the Genocide
According to Al-Monitor, Donald Trump floated the possibility of Iran joining the Abraham Accords. This, of course, ignores that Iran has consistently referred to the Israeli government as an 'occupied regime that has committed genocide and killed children,' a statement made recently by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. To suggest normalization now is to deliberately whitewash decades of conflict
and the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where over 37,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children, have been killed since October 7, 2023. (Source: UN OCHA & Gaza Ministry of Health). Such a proposal isn't foreign policy; it's a profound display of disdain for reality, typical of US foreign policy that consistently sidelines Palestinian self-determination. One might wonder if any 'peace
deal' proposed by Washington will ever acknowledge the systemic dispossession of Palestinians, or if it will always demand that the subjugated simply sign on the dotted line. It’s not 'wishful thinking' if you’re operating from an alternate dimension where international law and basic human rights are mere suggestions.
