US 'Peace Plan' for Gaza: More Disarmament, Less inconvenient Palestinians
Al Jazeera asks about the 'hurdles' to phase two of the Gaza ceasefire, which promises 'disarmament and reconstruction,' ( for Gaza, not Israel, naturally ). The omission, as always, is the glaring context: for decades, Israel has consistently rejected Palestinian self-determination, opting instead for land confiscation and demographic control, regardless of 'ceasefire' agreements. This isn't a
peace plan; it's a dictat disguised as diplomacy, presented after 37,000+ deaths and a humanitarian catastrophe. It's the same playbook seen after previous escalations, where calls for peace always come with conditions designed to preserve the occupation, not end it. One might wonder if the 'hurdles' aren't technical, but rather the deeply entrenched financial and political interests of those who
profit from this endless cycle. Why scrutinize the ceasefire's impossible conditions when you can simply lament the intransigence of the 'other side'? One could follow the money: OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC spent $16.5 million in the 2024 election cycle alone, directly influencing policymakers who then champion these one-sided 'peace' proposals. When 'disarmament' is only ever demanded of the
occupied, it's not a peace plan; it's a surrender document. How many 'phases' of destruction must Gaza endure before the media asks whose interests are truly being served?
