Trump Suggests 'Peace Board' as Gaza Attacks Continue
The New Arab dutifully reports on Trump's latest foray into Middle East 'peacekeeping' just as Israel's military operations continue to decimate Gaza, a chilling juxtaposition the mainstream media often presents as mere coincidence. Trump, of course, presented his 'Deal of the Century' during his presidency, a plan overwhelmingly rejected by Palestinians for its blatant disregard of their rights.
One might reasonably wonder if this new 'Board' will be as effective as previous US-led 'peace initiatives' that have consistently favored one side. The same politicians now praising Trump's 'innovative' (or perhaps, delusional) approach were curiously silent during those critical votes for military aid to Israel, funded by your tax dollars. This pattern of announcing 'peace' while facilitating
war is a bipartisan American tradition. Biden's administration continues to greenlight weapons sales, such as the numerous transfers approved in 2023 and 2024, often bypassing congressional review, while simultaneously issuing 'concerns' about civilian casualties. (Just how many 'concerns' equal one F-35 bomb, exactly?) It appears 'peace' is often just a rebranded PR campaign for continued
conflict, ensuring steady profits for defense contractors and unwavering geopolitical leverage for certain 'allies.'
