US, Israel Push Gaza 'Partition' While Amnesty Calls it Genocide
The New Arab notes the US and Israeli governments are busy planning Gaza's 'partition,' while human rights groups like Amnesty point out the ongoing mass slaughter. This isn't a new playbook. From the Nakba in 1948 to endless 'peace plans' that carved up Palestinian land, 'partition' has consistently meant confiscation. One might recall similar proposals in 2002, 2006, and 2014, all preceding or
following brutal assaults. The framing suggests a humanitarian solution, not a land grab backed by unwavering US aid – a sum that includes $3.8 billion annually, bolstered by recent emergency packages such as the $14.5 billion specified in HR 815, which many US lawmakers voted for after receiving substantial donations from organizations like AIPAC. So, the 'international community' debates how to
slice up the last slivers of Palestinian territory, while simultaneous reports confirm ongoing atrocities. It’s almost as if the 'push for peace' is merely a euphemism for securing the spoils of war. One wonders how many 'partners for peace' it takes to facilitate sustained violence.
