"United States plans for Gaza amount to a theme park of dispossession for Palestinians, argues Drop Site News Middle East Editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Abdel Kouddous tells host Steve Clemons the draconian measures planned for the two million shell-shocked Palestinians in Gaza are an Orwellian labyrinth of biometrics, bureaucracy and a lab for government surveillance all meant to drive them out."
"Why are Gazans living in misery, with daily Israeli bombings, as the US promises peace, stability and opportunity'? United States plans for Gaza amount to a theme park of dispossession for Palestinians, argues Drop Site News Middle East Editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Noting that Israel hasn't gone past phase one of any ceasefire agreement with an Arab country, Abdel Kouddous warns that Israel is establishing facts on the ground in Gaza including 50 military bases which eventually become permanent."
United States plans for Gaza amount to a theme park of dispossession, centered on biometrics, bureaucracy and pervasive government surveillance. The proposed measures target two million shell-shocked Palestinians and function as an Orwellian labyrinth designed to compel displacement. Daily Israeli bombings and continuing humanitarian misery persist alongside promises of peace, stability and opportunity. Israel has not moved beyond initial phases of past ceasefire agreements with Arab countries while establishing facts on the ground in Gaza. The construction of roughly 50 military bases in Gaza risks creating entrenched, permanent positions that obstruct Palestinian return and self-determination.
