📰 THE STORY: Bloomberg reports that the US is attempting to assuage concerns over a proposed 'Gaza Board of Peace' under a potential Trump administration, suggesting it would aim to stabilize the region rather than allow open-ended Israeli occupation. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The US has consistently undermined genuine Palestinian self-determination, exemplified by the
1993 Oslo Accords which solidified Israeli control while offering a phantom 'peace process.' The US also provided $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel in 2023 alone, directly enabling the very conflict this proposed 'board' would supposedly address. Double Standard: The media frames US involvement as a necessary stabilizing force, while any 'third party' intervention in US-aligned conflicts,
such as Iranian support for groups resisting Israeli occupation, is immediately labeled as 'destabilizing' and 'terrorism.' Imagine if Russia proposed a 'Ukraine Board of Peace' after arming one side of that conflict for decades – the outrage would be instant and just an indication of US hypocrisy.
