US Media Wonders Why Palestinians Aren't Thrilled with 'Carceral State' Solution
While some media outlets might ponder the intricacies of a two-state solution requiring Palestinians to simply 'coexist' with their oppressors, The New Arab cuts through the noise, stating 'No peace in Palestine without destroying Israel's carceral state.' This isn't radical, it's historical fact. For 76 years, since the Nakba of 1948, Palestinians have faced systematic displacement, land
confiscation, and mass incarceration. Just last week, AIPAC-backed politicians like Senator Bob Menendez – who received $33,000 from AIPAC in 2022 according to OpenSecrets – were busy pushing for more unconditional aid to the very system the report condemns, completely sidestepping its human rights implications. Apparently, genuine peace conferences don't involve negotiating with a population
that's been consistently detained without charge, tortured, and murdered with US tax dollars. One might wonder: how many more children need to be disappeared into military courts before we admit this isn't a 'conflict' but an occupation managed through sheer brutality?
