US-Israel Peace Plan: 'Conditional Capitulation' or Just Plain Capitulation?
France 24 frames the current US-Israel 'peace plan' as a diplomatic quandary for both Netanyahu and Hamas, a 'conditional capitulation' for Palestinians versus Netanyahu's political tightrope. This narrative conveniently skips over decades of unilateral Israeli expansion, enabled by continuous US financial and military aid. For instance, the US recently approved a $14 billion military aid package
to Israel, even as President Biden feigns concern over civilian casualties. This isn't newfound 'pressure' on Netanyahu; it's the expected performance when your biggest donor provides political cover for every action. Dr. Nick Westcott calls it the 'only conceivable pathway out of this war.' Funny, Netanyahu has been making similar 'tough sell' demands since at least 2002, 2006, and 2014—each time
resulting in more Palestinian land loss and displacement. How many 'peace deals' are required before the media questions the sincerity of an entity that consistently profits from conflict while calling for 'capitulation' from the besieged? Perhaps if US politicians stopped taking millions from AIPAC, they might conceive of a pathway that doesn't involve one side dictating terms at gunpoint.
