The US press has it wrong: The
Trump’/Kushner peace deal is not so much Israel’s apartheid blueprint; it’s
the other way round. Here in
the U.S., brainwashed by the corporate state organ press, we still imagine Israel to be our colony. The reverse is the case:
the U.S. is a colony of Israel.

It’s even hypothesized that that
trillion or so still unaccounted for at the Pentagon (the books were kept in
the Pentagon section that sustained all that unfortunate damage from an airplane crashing into it without burning up
the outside lawn) went directly to Israel to defend itself against the bad
reputation it’s getting for shooting to blind, kneecap, or kill all those uppity
Palestinians who still think that Palestine belongs to them.
I used to suspect (silly me) that Israel was blackmailing
the US over 9/11 because it knew too much (like why Building 7 collapsed even
though no plane managed to hit it) but lately I have come to understand that a luxury
mansion in New York’s East 70s with hidden cameras in every room, fueled by the
Lolita Express, are much more powerful forms of blackmail than an insignificant
event like 9/11 ever could be, because boys just love their toys, especially
when they are underage and nubile, and two of those boys just happen to be
Presidents of the U.S. (Other world figures like Prince Andrew rate fewer
points.)
Anatomy of a peace
deal
But why dwell on the camouflage of scandal? Such distraction
obscures the more important
facts such as:
•The so-called peace plan was cobbled together by Jared
Kushner without any consultation with Abbas, or any Palestinian input.
•It conveniently puts
an end to the International Criminal Court’s investigation into alleged war
crimes committed against Palestinians in the
Occupied Territories.
•The Palestinians will be granted
limited autonomy within a Palestinian homeland that consists of multiple
non-contiguous enclaves scattered throughout the West Bank and Gaza, which
have been compared to the apartheid South African system of Bantustans.

| What Palestinians think of Bibi 's peace |
•The government of Israel will retain
security control over the Palestinian enclaves and will continue to control
Palestinian borders, immigration, security, airspace, aquifers, maritime
waters, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
•Israel will be allowed to annex vast
stretches of the Palestinian West Bank (which
has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967) into Israel, including
all of the illegal Jewish-only settlements in areas colonized by Israeli
settlers as well as Arab East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley.
•The Palestinians will be allowed to
select the leaders of their new homeland but will have no political rights in
Israel, the state that actually rules over them.
Meanwhile back at the
(colonized) ranch:
At the same time, the Israeli-owned corporation, Elbit
Systems , a defense contractor, has been hired
by the U.S. government to turn the Tohono O’odham reservation (4,460 square
miles) into a total surveillance prison camp. They tout their products are
“field proven” on Palestinian people.
And municipal
police of countless American Cities, among them D.C., go to Israel for “law enforcement” training,
or Israel sends their “law enforcement” IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) experts,
whose skills-to-kill have been honed in the practice shooting ranges of Gaza
and the West Bank, to the U.S. to train them in population control.
