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...
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.
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.
