Peace Or Piece

By Lucius Gantt

The United States President was recently smiling like the fox in the Israeli hen house, after he suggested that his "peace plan" would resolve a dispute that has lasted over a century.

But, as I understand it, the recent "celebrations" were not about an end to hostilities, any happy faces were about the freed hostages. I have heard about the incarcerated Palestinians who were supposed to be released. I know there are teen aged Palestinians who were held behind bars.

Before the terrorist attacks and the total destruction of Palestinian homes, businesses and communities, the Palestinian people lived like Black South Africans lived under aparthied. There was no free speech, no free travel, no judicial rights, and they couldn't even fish for food on the GAZA beaches.

Now, Trump's "plan" says Hamas should disarm. Well, it apears that every Palestinian is an active member of Hamas. New Hamas recruits will include many young boys and killed who had their whole families bombed unnecessarily. Civilians should not be bombed and attacked in Palestine, or Ukraine.

Let me tell you what I think. Always follow the money. There has never been a question about Trump wanting to develop hotels and casinos on Palestinian soil. The Israeli leader, Netanyahu, has been accused of crimes and has to keep bombing places to remain in office.

Arab countries want any Palestinian resources, minerals, and commodities,

and agriculture facilities preserved.

A ceasefire is good for the moment, but sometimes history repeats itself. I'll guess bullets will be flying again by Valentines Day.

Some Israeli citizens will build luxurious and beachfront mansions on the Gaza beach once the area is replacement activity is enacted.

Israel tells Trump what to do, not vice versa. Trump is a show horse, not a work horse. He make false claims daily and when reporters as k whe, Trump says,"I may not do it. I want tariffs."

What the reporters you love call "The Middle East", I call Africa! All of that area was Africa untin the Suez Canal was built, then, any country in the area could claim they were Middle Eastern..

Pray for all of the non-combatants in the area. No one is talking about the Palestinian "West Bank"

What impact does the Trump plan have on the Palestinians who live near Jerusalem? Palestinians who are West Bank residents fear zionist or right-wing attacks daily, or having their homes and land taken to build Jewish settlements.

At the end of the day, I don't see everlasting peace, I see some of "everybody" trying to get a piece of Palestine
