Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

[Thylacine 2000]

You've seen all the recent summits and virtue-signaling "recognitions" that all agree Hamas must disarm and relinquish Gaza, right?

You've seen all the recent summits and virtue-signaling "recognitions" that all agree Hamas must disarm and relinquish Gaza, right?

But not with an "or else" attached to it. I'm sure they didn't say "If you don't disarm, we will let the Israelis continue to commit war crimes against you".

 

[wonko the sane?]

That's not really the kind of thing that you need to say out loud. Implied, of course, but not out loud.

Maybe that's how they got him on board with it?

Almost certainly. What I want to know is how they got Netanyahu on board. He's the one with the anti-Palestinian agenda here, and isn't just chasing clout.

Some reasons why the proposed "peace" deal may not be so "peaceful" or good for Palestinians.

Trump peace plan 'ignores interests of Palestinian people', Hamas official tells BBC

A senior Hamas figure told the BBC the group is likely to reject Trump's Gaza peace plan, saying it "serves Israel's interests".

I stopped reading at "a senior Hamas figure said."

"...In a previously unreported email released as part of a hack of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s email account, Oracle CEO Safra Catz explicitly expressed a commitment to influencing U.S. public opinion in favor of Israel...

...Catz...shared her own views on how Americans should be conditioned to support Israel, writing:

"We have all been horrified by the growth of the BDS movement in college campuses and have concluded that we have to fight this battle before the kids even get to college. We believe that we have to embed the love and respect for Israel in the American culture. That means getting the message to the American people in a way they can consume it."

“As Executive Vice Chair of the Oracle Board of Directors, Safra will be nowhere near the algorithm of TikTok,” sources familiar with the matter told Responsible Statecraft. The sources “could not confirm the authenticity of the email.”
