US Aims for 'Stabilization' After Funding the Destabilization
The Al-Monitor piece breathlessly reports that the U.S. wants an international force in Gaza early next year, framed as a "stabilization" effort. This news arrives after years of the US greenlighting, funding, and defending Israel's policies, including the 17-year blockade and recent bombardments that have decimated infrastructure and displaced nearly two million people. It's the classic strategy:
fund the arsonist, then send in the firefighters, and declare yourself a hero. Let's not forget the history here. Every 'peacekeeping' or 'stabilization' effort in the region, often backed by the US, has ultimately served to uphold the status quo of occupation and apartheid. One might wonder why there's a sudden international concern for 'stability' now, after tens of thousands of Palestinian
lives have been lost and Gaza rendered largely uninhabitable. Perhaps it's less about genuine concern and more about managing the optics of a catastrophic policy failure amplified by consistent AIPAC lobbying that ensures continuous US military aid to Israel, even as the humanitarian crisis deepens.
