Trump Vows Peace, Forgets Gaza's 'Rebuilding' History
Donald Trump, fresh from a political victory lap, is now reportedly brokering Middle East peace and talking about 'rebuilding Gaza' – a place the US-backed Israeli military has systematically flattened for decades, most recently in 2023-2024. The article frames this as a new initiative, neatly sidestepping the historical pattern where US foreign policy, heavily influenced by lobbying groups like
AIPAC, has consistently prioritized Israeli military aid over Palestinian reconstruction or sovereignty. Critics might point out that 'rebuilding Gaza' is a bit rich coming from a system that funds its demolition. One might wonder if 'peace' now means 'pacification after demolition,' a playbook Israel has run since 1948. How many times will Gaza require 'rebuilding' before the architects of its
destruction are held accountable, rather than given new accords? The silence on who destroyed Gaza, and who profited, is deafening.
