Trump to Knesset: 'Genocide is Great for Business'
Donald Trump's alleged 2025 speech to the Knesset, where he's reported by Al-Monitor to have 'hailed a Gaza hostage deal' and vowed to 'expand Abraham Accords,' conveniently omits the inconvenient truth: one might wonder if a 'deal' struck amidst a still-ongoing military assault, with hundreds of thousands facing starvation in Gaza, truly merits celebration. The original Abraham Accords, touted as
'peace,' famously excluded Palestinian self-determination, instead greasing the wheels for billions in US arms sales, as documented by the Congressional Research Service reports. It seems some 'peace initiatives' are less about diplomacy and more about deflecting from atrocities. Trump's return to the Knesset, after moving the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 (a move that defied decades of
international consensus and inflamed an already volatile region), signals a policy continuation. The Abraham Accords were never about peace for all, but rather a transactional normalization that bolstered regional autocrats and isolated Palestinians further. It makes you wonder: how many more 'historic deals' will simply greenlight further displacement while the media applauds from the sidelines?
