Today, Donald Trump, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Pedro Sánchez and others are meeting to: 'End the war in the Gaza Strip, enhance efforts to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East, and usher in a new era of regional security and stability' which would be amazing if it does but it does leave some unresolved issues.
In the coming weeks and months, a true picture of the sheer devastation of Gaza will come into view and accountability will need to be sought.
Most, if not all, of the Hamas leadership responsible for the October 2023 attacks are dead but the ones behind the Genocide by Israel and their backers are still around and they and any remaining Hamas leadership need to be tried and punished.
The concerns are that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a man who had been reluctant to end the war ever since it began, will seek a return to the battlefield once all Israelis are safely home which is why Palestine not only needs to be rebuilt, but the root causes which stretch back 80 years are addressed
If the ceasefire holds, and who knows with Donald Trump leading the peace as he appears to get bored and move on to different toys very quickly, but if it does hold then the military occupation, annexing of Palestinian land and the illegal settlements will have to be discussed else we end up back where we started, the conditions that enabled it all allowed to continue to fester.
People are returning to where their homes used to be in Gaza City and the death toll of 67,000 will certainly rise as more bodies are pulled out of the rubble but the focus needs to be on protecting Palestinians from its warmongering genocidal neighbour just as much as protecting Israel from another terrorist atrocity from Gaza.
Donald Trump is due to take a victory lap for his peacemaking as if unaware that he enabled the genocide so the United Nations and International Criminal Court have to make sure that the war criminals are bought to book for their war crimes.
Most importantly though, after the clean up and the true devastation is shown once journalists are allowed into Gaza, leaders who aided and abetted the genocide which we witness before our eyes, must not be allowed to brush it under the table, to say let us move forward and not back because if we normalise this and return to the status quo where Palestinians continue to be killed and their homes and land stolen, then we may have ended one war only to keep in place the conditions for the next one.

80 years. really? try 4,000 years... or are you referring to when you brits dropped the ball? that would more like 100 years ago.
ReplyDeleteobama got a nobel because he told the world the US would treat inferiors and insignificant nations as equals - what a joke. then he bombed the shit out of syria and other places.
trump, like it not, combined with israel's unceasing military pressure has almost eliminated hamas. i say almost because hamas and everyone in gaza that supports/supported hamas is evil. evil never dies. it will reemerge which is why a 2 state solution will never work.
historically, it was all israel's territory. the people the left likes to call palestinians are essentially arabs that were rejected by other arab nations and were arbitrarily given a name by Brits. which is why egypt, syrian, iraq, iran, turkey don't offer them any help - they don't like the people the left call palestinian...
hamas made all this harm to the people gaza happen by attacking civilians. then, they enabled the ongoing destruction of gaza by refusing to release the hostages. the people enabled all this to happen when they elected hamas. then they enabled this destruction to continue by hiding and supporting the people they elected...
