“The Board of Peace “ , The Israeli Humanitarian Fund “ . 🤮🤮🤮Is it possible to be any more Orwellian than this further stage of Colonialism, with NO input from Palestinians ?? How does the Australian Prime Minister attempt to justify this

fabrication , and why does he insist upon insulting the intelligence of Australians with his continuing obedience to the US , UK and Israeli governments ?? He shames himself and this nation irredeemably .

While it would be great to see the fighting stop, the Netanyahu-Trump plan seems more like a demand the Palestinians unconditionally surrender.

As glibal opposition to Israel's genocide peaks, it is now Netanyahu-Trump vs the entire world.

Given that Netanyahu and Trump can't be trusted to even keep their own promises, the chances of a two-state solution - the only way to achieve real lasting peace - seem unlikely.

It is more likely that Netanyahu will invent some excuse to keep the IDF troops in Gaza indefinitely, and Trump will obediently pander to Netanyahu.

1) This unilateral, performative proposal completely fails the 'nothing about us without us' test.

2) This 'demilitarization' is actually a de-escalation tactic (in response to sufficient protests worldwide to get leaders to make statements of refusing Israel&USA, but before leaders actually have to act to do so) from the current explicit military genocide phase to the subtle, civilian ethnic cleansing phase (which is the quiet, slower, covert genocide Israel normally adopts). this will likely be under either explicit Israel/US orders, or via their obedient, quisling 'Palestinian Authority'.

3) Israel almost certainly still intends to kill or remove all Palestinians, and utterly destroy Palestine, (and probably other Arabs whose lands they feel like genociding), but they will act partly contrite, make token amends, and then quietly get away with another few decades of quiet genocide, disguised by apartheid laws, infrastructure destruction in Palestine, and regularly 'mowing the lawn'.

4) This happens because too many voters knowingly choose to be complicit, to not protest and petition their political representatives to Boycott and Sanction the Israel Genocide.

5) We don't have to sit in silence, we don't have to live in apathy. Instead, lets show government you're the voice, and you'll make a noise and make it clear:

To be honest a pox on both their houses. It is obvious that Israel’s attack on Gaza is disproportionate to the event that triggered the attack and Israel should cease heir military action. At the same time the unwillingness of Hamas to release the hostages taken during the attack on 7 October 2023 continues to legitimise Israel’s war in the eyes of many and definitely the majority of Israelis. Neither side seems willing to compromise. Both sides continue to pursue their own agenda seeking their perfect dream rather than accept the need to give ground to bring violence to an end. It is obvious to me neither side seems willing to accept the need for compromise and as a result this conflict will continue until either Israel or Palestine ceases to exist. Tragic.
