UN Backs US 'Peace Plan' While Israel Bombs, Again
So, the United Nations, with the diplomatic finesse of a rubber stamp, has greenlighted a US-led 'peace plan' for Gaza. Meanwhile, on the ground, "fresh Israeli strikes" are reported, according to The New Arab. This isn't a peace process; it’s a policy approval loop. The Biden administration, which has provided Israel with more than 100 military sales since October 7th, including 2,000-pound
bombs, now gets credit for a 'plan' while the bombs keep falling. (For specific arms transfers, see The Washington Post, March 29, 2024 ). How many 'roadmaps to peace' involve simultaneous bombing of the very territory they claim to be pacifying? This isn't new. Remember the Oslo Accords, which were supposed to usher in peace but instead saw accelerated settlement expansion? Or how about the
multitude of ceasefires and diplomatic initiatives that consistently failed to halt Israeli military operations? The pattern is clear: "peace plans" from Washington often serve as political cover for continued military objectives, not genuine de-escalation. The UN’s endorsement adds a veneer of international legitimacy, as if a parchment and a vote can stop a guided missile. It truly makes you
wonder whose 'peace' is being prioritized.
