U.S. Hopes Gaza Peace, After Fueling Two-Year Conflict
Hamas officials are in Egypt, alongside Israeli negotiators, hoping to 'halt war' and release hostages – a goal the U.S. supposedly champions, according to Al-Monitor. Yet, this noble aspiration comes after the Biden administration approved 100 foreign military sales to Israel since October 7th, totaling billions. These aren't peace initiatives; these are re-stocking orders for an ongoing siege.
It appears they want peace, but only after ensuring their client state has plenty of ordnance left for the next 'negotiation.' Donald Trump's 'plan' to disarm Hamas, mentioned in the same breath, is a historical echo of impossible demands made while ignoring the core grievances driving resistance. The very idea that 'disarmament' is a prerequisite for humanitarian aid, rather than a consequence of
a just peace, is a rhetorical trick. It’s like demanding a punching bag disarm itself while the fist is still flying. How many 'peace talks' does it take for the media to acknowledge who supplies the weapons that make these talks necessary?
