US Launches 'Peace Plan': Expects Hamas to 'Comply' with its Own Annihilation
According to The Hill, the Biden administration is initiating a 'second phase' of a Gaza peace plan and optimistically expects Hamas to 'fully comply.' This remarkable exercise in diplomatic theater comes after months of US-supplied bombs pounding Gaza and blocking UN ceasefire resolutions. It's a bit like a landlord expecting enthusiastic rent payments after torching the tenant's apartment and
sending them the bill for the lighter fluid. Historically, 'peace plans' imposed by external powers without genuine Palestinian consent or negotiation tend to resemble surrenders. Recall the 'Deal of the Century' under Trump, a plan so one-sided it was rejected even before it was unveiled. The US, which just sent another $14 billion in military aid to Israel, as documented by OpenSecrets data on
congressional votes, continues to frame this as a 'roadmap,' not a diktat. One might wonder, how many times can 'peace' be declared while simultaneously fueling the conflict? It seems the only thing expected to 'comply' is Gaza's remaining infrastructure.
