Palestine Doesn’t Need Another Oslo: Could Hamas Become the New Fatah? |

It stuck. Donald Trump nailed it. The impossible peace deal that will remake the Middle East in his own gawdy gilded image. After just over two years straight of total war, after billions of dollars of bombs and tens if not hundreds of thousands of dead civilians, the Master of the Deal brokered a truce between Israel and Hamas, and it stuck. Sort of.
You see, dearest motherfuckers, while the guns of Hamas have fallen mainly silent, Israel’s genocide against the people of Gaza never actually stopped, not that the document Trump and company signed at Sharm El-Sheikh required this. Under the official letter of the Donald’s 20-point agreement, Israel is essentially afforded every right to ethnically cleanse 58% of Gaza’s shriveling territory which is now governed by the IDF behind a largely nebulous “Yellow Line” while two million badly battered Palestinians are crammed into the ruins of the lower 42% of their walled ghetto.
Israel is just supposed to stop bombing these tent cities while allowing a few aid trucks to keep their denizens from starving to death on Tik Tok, but the IDF can’t even handle that peon to humanitarian colonialism. Those Zionist jackals have been blitzing refugees almost daily since before the ink even dried on Trump’s big, beautiful ceasefire, killing hundreds, while opening only two border crossings to a slow trickle of aid.
Israel has violated the shit out of this so-called peace deal. The only thing that’s really changed is that Hamas is no longer firing back and that was the real point behind that theatric signing ceremony on the Senai Peninsula. Neither Israel nor Hamas were even present for the shindig at Sharm El-Sheik. The papers were signed by Qatari Emir Sheik Tamin Bin Hamad al Thani and Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan; Hamas’ two largest foreign financiers, along with Pharoah Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, who polices Gaza’s western borders. The real deal was for those thugs to agree to pressure Hamas into giving up just so long as Israel allows them to share in the profits of the resort Donald Trump plans to build on the graves of 5% of the Strip’s Population
If you have a functioning soul, you are probably asking God right now, what the fuck kind of peace is that? Sadly, sickeningly, the only kind of Palestine it has ever experienced over the last century is Western imperial Nakba. Every single magnificent peace deal that the paler nations have ever celebrated themselves........
