Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ is 21st Century Apartheid
Sheena Anne Arackal has penned an important piece for the Global Research Centre on Globalization. There, she skillfully dissects Donald Trump’s and Benjamin Netanyahu’s new dead-on-arrival supposed “peace plan.” This plan will ostensibly settle, once and for all time to come, the heretofore intractable Palestine-Israel conflict.
Yes, and in his most Trumpian fashion yet, Trump could not resist declaring this one-sided, unilaterally arrived at “plan” the “Deal of the Century.”
According to the “deal,” concocted and conjured up by the freshly indicted Israeli prime minister and the impeached putative US president, Palestinians will be allowed a kind of pseudo-“independence” within strictly designated and enforced (by Israel) “homeland” territories. This faux independence is necessary, according to Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and point man in the deal, because Palestinians are simply not yet ready to run an actual nation-state of their own and on their own behalf.
