Might makes right . . . until it doesn’t. From José Goulão at strategic-culture.org:
It has long been clear that no world leader – none – intends to take effective action against Zionist expansionism.
The world looks on, largely impassive and silent, cultivating omissions while peddling false hope, as the farce surrounding Donald Trump’s so-called “20-point plan” for “peace in Gaza” unfolds. From the outset, the plan has been little more than a media contrivance — a propaganda device which, nearly two months after the announcement of a bogus ceasefire, has already delivered several strategic wins for its architects. These gains form part of a wider Western campaign, in collusion with Israel, to push the genocide in Gaza out of public view by persuading global audiences that a path towards “pacification” has somehow been opened. In reality, almost nothing has changed: there is not even a genuine ceasefire in place.
It is, without doubt, the most effective manoeuvre yet by those who perpetrate and endorse the extermination of Palestinians, and who, after two years of systematic destruction, realised that the course they were pursuing — especially after 7 October 2023 — had triggered an ever-growing wave of worldwide indignation. That anger threatened, at least hypothetically, to rebound against its instigators. Israel’s diplomatic isolation was becoming so marked that even Trump and the increasingly disoriented institutions of the European Union could see it.
A further victory for this elaborate deception, crafted to ensure that the essentials remain unchanged — or, at the very least, that conditions remain in place to continue the destruction of Palestinian life — has been the apparent “credibility” acquired by the “Trump plan” itself. As though, by some miraculous conversion, the supposedly “unbreakable bond” between the United States and Israel had suddenly been tempered by a moral awakening it has never shown; as though Washington had been moved by Palestinian suffering to devise a way out that might save face.
Global media outlets dutifully played their part. Governments and international institutions — shamefully including many in the Arab world — pretended to mobilise around the initiative, helping transform a political conjuring trick into something presented as humanitarian. The UN Security Council, now reduced to a custodian of the imperial order, eventually adopted the plan as its own — despite UNCTAD having concluded that conditions in Gaza are the most catastrophic ever recorded.
The Council’s position simply confirms — unnecessarily — that Russia and China, through their opportunistic abstentions, could not muster even the slightest expression of humanitarian solidarity with a population still condemned to death. No official in Beijing or Moscow can plausibly claim ignorance of the fact that the “Trump plan” bears no relation whatsoever to International Law as it applies to Palestine; it even disregards, ostentatiously, the right to establish a Palestinian state. Hence, when any government — not least within the EU — proclaims support for “a two-state solution” while simultaneously aligning itself with the Trump scheme, it is, more bluntly than ever, engaging in outright deceit.
It’s showtime as Trumpstein, Maduro and Putin won’t back down.
The banksters are loving it as they profit off of all sides and practice the AI NSDAP slave state in 404.
Doubtful that RF can help Venezuela as they are kind of busy.
