Trump's Board of Peace revives the British Mandate's order. It imposes foreign administration as "peace," makes aid conditional on disarmament, and so prepares the ground—once again—for dispossession.
Impressive historical framing. The parallel between British mandate structures and Trump's Board setup is sharp, especially the sequencing logic Kissinger laid out. I've seen similr patterns in corporate governance where consultants get hired to "reform" systems but end up maintaining the exact power dynamics they're supposed to fix.
Every line of this piece carries weight. It speaks of Gaza, of trusteeship, of despair that has been carefully engineered. A text that, if read attentively, makes it impossible to see things the same way again...
Incredibly informative and simply a stellar piece of writing, of past history and current events. And how they are one and the same. Thank you, thank you. As an American, I thank you with all my grateful heart. I'm thrilled to have read "The Return of Mandate Rule", and look forward to your other works. I'm happy to have discovered you, for me. Haha...Well aware, I didn't discover you.
Racist Ashkenazi Jews have long flung the "civilization versus barbarism" trope.
Here is a passage from p. 186 of the linked PDF.
"Thus Polish-Lithuanian Jewry, in maintaining the intellectual activity adopted from Germany and the German language, formed for itself a protective wall, lasting down to the most recent times, against Slavic unculture. Even if the literary creativity of German Jewry cannot display the brilliant achievements of the Spanish co-religionists—whose educational level, appearing more attractive in linguistic and philosophical respects due to their more favorable surroundings—yet they have in far greater measure produced a truly national culture which, in contrast to that of the Spanish Jews, which later almost entirely dissipated in the Orient, proved itself enduringly dynamic and fruitful even in other lands.”
sumud, until liberation.
You cannot plant peace
in soil guarded by others.
You cannot grow freedom
under someone else’s sky.
Palestine is not a project to manage.
It is a people
still breathing,
still resisting,
still home.
Truth. Exquisite. Thank you.
Not another mandate. Not another promise written elsewhere. Only a people, a land, and the right to decide their own tomorrow.
Great essay. Thank you
Peace without self-determination is just control with a softer name.
