Trump and Netanyahu vs. Humanity

The Trump-Netanyahu meeting at the White House offered nothing new. Rather, it contained sinister assertions that the two men agreed on a policy of genocide and ethnic cleansing, and repeated the delusion of mass expulsion from Gaza and its subsequent appropriation, in accordance with Trump's wishes and Netanyahu's ambitions.

A harmonious meeting between two allies came to confirm both sides' agreement to continue killing us and perpetuating the genocide, ignoring the voices of bereaved mothers, the tears of children, or the calls of the world that watches from afar, motionless, as if they were not witnessing the hundreds of thousands of martyrs and wounded.

The meeting was not merely a political gathering; it was a clear declaration of their disregard for all human values and a blatant disregard for the daily suffering of the people of Gaza under bombardment and destruction. Moreover, the statements they made, even though cloaked in diplomacy, carried within them the promise of more bloodshed and the harbinger of more devastation, destruction, and siege.

In front of the cameras, they smiled, shook hands, and exchanged pleasantries, while on the other side of the world, bodies were being pulled from the rubble, mothers were saying goodbye to their children, and the night in Gaza was darker than ever. Trump did not see those images and that suffering, but rather saw it with the eyes of a thieving investor who aspires to own Gaza and displace its people.

This meeting is not a passing event, but rather a stark reminder that we are facing an alliance that sees us only as numbers to be erased, land to be stolen, and rights to be silently buried.

This is the policy of the new US administration headed by Donald Trump, which is not ashamed to support the occupation by all means and methods. Rather, it is intent on arming it and justifying its crimes, and falsely claims to be defending "peace" while sowing chaos and fueling conflict. Trump, who views the Palestinian cause as a mere bargaining chip, treats Palestinian blood as if it is worthless, and treats the tragedy as if it is an opportunity to strike deals and counter-deals, all based on endless colonial ambitions.

As for Netanyahu, he found in Trump an ideal partner for the same project: the project of uprooting an entire people, erasing their identity, and redrawing the map of the land by force and arrogance. While houses collapse on their owners' heads, and electricity and water are cut off from innocents, they are building a shared dream together, built on the ruins of a people, the remains of a homeland, and the blood that never dries.

What is happening is not just a human tragedy, but a full-fledged crime, a crime the world clearly sees but chooses to remain silent about. The eerie silence, the silence that kills twice: once with shells, once with indifference. What a miserable time this is, amidst what we are witnessing, living, and seeing.
