Problems? What Problems?

Watching the images of Donald Trump envoy Steve Witkoff arriving at a peaceful, well-organised aid site in Gaza to see for himself what is going on there, reminded me of an incident in 2007 when American Senator and Iraq War cheerleader, John McCain, showed up at a Baghdad Market to show that Iraq was returning to normal thanks to the Iraq War he so vocally supported.
There he was confidently strolling down the middle of a Baghdad Street and then at the press conference afterwards he claimed: 'Things are getting better, there are encouraging signs' which was excellent news as long as the Iraqi's took the few minor precautions McCain undertook before his little jaunt.
All they needed to do to be as safe as McCain in their own nation whilst out shopping was to first send in soldiers to search for explosives, set up a perimeter and secure the neighbourhood, deploy snipers on rooftops, wear a flak jacket at all times, travel by a Humvee to the market and surround yourself with 100 armed soldiers while three Black Hawk helicopters and two Apache gunships patrol the skies above.
It really was that simple if the locals wanted to get back from the market-place in one piece and should be noted by the Palestinians who have been dying whilst being starved and forced to aid stations run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) where they are being shot at, over 1,000 killed so far by Israeli troops while waiting to collect food.
Witkoff, surrounded by Israeli troops, said it was an important gesture to show America cared about the humanitarian situation and 'to learn the truth' but as Mike Huckerbee who travelled with him later wrote that: 'GHF delivers more than one million meals a day, an incredible feat!' it doesn't suggest much confidence that what they report back to the White House will be entirely truthful.
You really do not need to go to a Gaza aid station to realise that driving a population to starvation and then offering them a morsel of food and then shooting at them in large numbers when they arrive for it is wrong in every way, then you have no business being involved in peace talks.
That said, as America has supplied the weapons, the funding and the political backing for the Netanyahu genocide, and that is exactly what it is, then nobody actually expected anything better from them anyway and the slaughter will go on until every Palestinians is dead or ethnically cleansed out of the place they call home, a process which will now be turbo charged as more nations including the UK say they will recognise a Palestinians State.
