Trump Warns Hamas: Disarm or We Disarm You (Again)
Donald Trump is back, issuing threats to Hamas: disarm, or 'we will disarm them.' Fox News frames this as a strong stance, utterly devoid of historical context. One might wonder where this same muscular posture is when Netanyahu's government repeatedly violates international law or expands settlements. (Spoiler: it’s usually replaced by bipartisan applause and increased aid.) This 'disarm or else'
ultimatum isn't new; it's a broken record echoing decades of US policy that demands Palestinian capitulation while funding Israeli expansion. Trump, famously the architect of the 'deal of the century' that offered Palestinians less than crumbs, now pledges to escalate pressure. Perhaps the media should remind us of who actually profits from unending conflict and who consistently vetoes UN
resolutions calling for peace. It's almost as if 'disarming Hamas' is code for 'ensuring regional hegemony for our allies, regardless of Palestinian suffering or self-determination.'
