A-Infos (en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova #29-25 - A Peace That Doesn't Exist. Gaza - Just Business and Oppression (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

These days, we're witnessing a bitter paradox: while television and 
mainstream media are trumpeting the "peace" reached between the 
Nazi-Zionists of Israel and the tormentors of Hamas, thanks to the 
American fascist of the moment, we must look beyond appearances to 
understand the true nature of this so-called "solution." The peace in 
Gaza, desired by the Trump administration and concluded under the guise 
of a 20-point "peace plan," is nothing but a deception of epic 
proportions, a script written at a desk and disguised as unprecedented 
progress. It's a complex of compromises imposed on the Palestinians, of 
economic and geopolitical interests that strengthen the Israeli 
occupation and that of the world's rich capitalists, criminalizing any 
Palestinian resistance, which is now left with a piece of paper with a 
thousand clauses that smack of deception.

The American peace plan, announced on October 8th by Trump, the talking 
wig, is actually a full-blown international business plan, strongly 
supported by Trump's friends international property developers like 
Webuild SpA, private security firms, and big tech companies like Tesla 
but also by Arab countries like Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the 
United Arab Emirates, which were beginning to feel threatened by the now 
uncontrolled Zionist state following the attacks in Qatar, the eighth 
nation Israel has attacked since the start of the genocide in Gaza. Even 
a fearful Jordan bowed down and offered to do its part in training the 
new Palestinian police force, to ensure further Zionist benevolence. The 
concern is always the same: to enforce obedience, submission, and 
control. Social justice doesn't make money.

But even unscrupulous gas companies like Eni and the new Italian 
fascists in black linen shirts have played their part in trying to share 
a piece of the Palestinian pie with the big murderers, a piece that 
everyone covets. A project that serves exclusively colonialist logic, 
the interests of multinationals, and geopolitical elites, who see this 
region as a battleground for control of resources and strategic routes. 
This "peace agreement" represents a brutal attack on the freedom and 
autonomy of the Palestinian people, an attempt to further consolidate 
the oppression and exploitation of a people who have suffered systemic 
violence and military occupation for over 70 years. This is not a 
question of state sovereignty or borders, but of liberation from 
authority and exploitation. The true solution lies in the destruction of 
the capitalist and state system that perpetuates oppression and 
exploitation, and in the construction of a society based on freedom, 
equality, and solidarity among peoples.

In this operation to dismantle rights, where "Heads of State" are 
perfectly at ease posing for photographs with the criminal Netanyahu, 
convicted by the International Criminal Court, figures like Tony Blair, 
the infamous "Butcher of Baghdad," play a leading role. Blair never 
stopped on his path of war and destabilization, contributing to the 
conditions of chaos and destruction that are now being used as a pretext 
for further military interventions and policies of repression. His 
presence in the processes of "reconstruction" of occupied territories or 
diplomatic mediation is an example of how the imperial system 
shamelessly exploits the faces and words of those who have already 
proven themselves emblems of violence and injustice.

And what about international property developer Jared Kushner, Trump's 
son-in-law, who, in his role as special advisor and through the 
so-called "Deal of the Century," attempted to provide a diplomatic 
framework for a project of partition, colonization, and ethnic 
cleansing? His presence and his moves demonstrate how economic and 
geopolitical interests are at the root of every attempt at "peace." This 
plan does not seek justice, but rather the perpetuation of a status quo 
that allows the plundering of resources, the repression of rights, and 
the acceptance of the Gaza genocide as a normal step toward imposed 
peace, conditional on total extermination. Its moves are perfectly in 
tune with strategies of global domination, in which control of resources 
and the repression of resistance movements are indispensable tools to 
maintain the status quo. This Gaza agreement reminds us so much of The 
Leopard... everything changes so as not to change!

Seeking peace without equality is an illusion. Israelis today enjoy 
security, freedom, and one of the strongest economies in the world, 
richer per capita than France, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, or the 
United Kingdom. Palestinians live under military control and are 20 
times poorer. This immense imbalance in a tiny territory the size of the 
cities of Enna or Caltagirone is a recipe for recurring conflict. Gaza 
was impoverished well before 2023, not by fate but by the lack of 
freedom of movement imposed primarily by Israel with the help of Egypt 
and other international actors who looked the other way. If the 
Palestinian people can achieve the basic freedom to travel, manage their 
own economy, and build a grassroots society without politicians or 
political parties, they will be able to prosper. But the Trump 
administration's peace plan adopts a different strategy: on the one 
hand, it calls on Israel to renounce any intention of annexing Gaza, 
guaranteeing Gazans the right of return, and on the other, it envisions 
Gaza ultimately being governed, along with the West Bank, by a 
"reformed" Palestinian Authority one that is, even more corrupt and even 
more under Israeli control.

Amid this farce, the reality remains that, to this day, humanitarian aid 
destined for Gaza is still largely blocked or heavily controlled by 
Israel, which limits access to food, water, medicine, and resources 
essential to the population's survival. The notorious 600 trucks a day 
that were supposed to enter since the truce have now shrunk to just 
300-350. People continue to die of hunger, while drinking water supplies 
are now nearly exhausted, leaving millions of civilians in dire straits. 
This strategy of siege and systematic blockade worsens the humanitarian 
crisis, confirming that repression and total control are tools of 
oppression that slowly kill an entire population, mercilessly.

Along with all this, we must consider the dramatic escalation of settler 
violence in the West Bank, with villages like Masafer Yatta almost 
entirely destroyed by the Zionists in the last two years. Furthermore, 
in recent days, the territory (patrolled by the famous UN peacekeepers) 
of southern Lebanon has suffered some of the most intense and 
indiscriminate attacks against civilian areas by Israel, which has 
proven, once again, to be an unscrupulous occupier, willing to sow death 
and destruction to maintain its rule. These attacks are not random; they 
are part of a broader Israeli strategy aimed at destabilizing the entire 
region, keeping oppressed peoples under violent pressure, and 
strengthening its plan to create a Greater Israel. A plan of 
colonization and annexation that stops at nothing, fueled by war and 
repression, and aimed at limitless expansion, erasing any possibility of 
self-determination for the region's peoples. These acts of aggression in 
Lebanon are a warning to all those who oppose this vision of conquest 
and domination, and must be firmly rejected as part of a global plan of 
oppression.

The resistance in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the solidarity 
mobilizations, are a breaking point with this project of oppression and 
colonization. From squares around the world, it is now clear that the 
time has come to unite our voices and our struggles against this threat, 
to defend the freedom and dignity of all oppressed peoples. Protests are 
multiplying worldwide, and support for the "Freedom Flotilla" and the 
mobilizations against the genocide in Gaza represent a concrete, though 
still insufficient, response to a system that thrives on suffering and 
oppression. The mobilizations in Italy, such as "Blocchiamo tutto," are 
the expression of a collective will to raise our voices against the 
indifference and complicit silence of governments and international 
institutions, and to connect all forms of oppression and all peoples. 
The street protests have spread rapidly to many countries, from Spain to 
France, from the United Kingdom to the United States, from Greece to 
Brazil. This international solidarity is consolidating as a powerful 
weapon against the system of global oppression, which perhaps prompted 
this farcical peace. These are not simple protests, but a true cry of 
revolt against a system that allows, and indeed encourages, the massacre 
of a defenseless people. Solidarity is becoming internationalist, 
anti-fascist, and anti-capitalist, reconnecting with the struggles of 
all oppressions around the world: against racism, colonialism, state 
repression, extractivism, exploitation, and patriarchy.

In this context, the Global Sumud Flotilla emerges as an example of 
civic mobilization that has allowed long-dormant civic energies to 
emerge. Despite all the criticisms that can be leveled at an NGO from 
its potential dependence on international funding, to its communication 
strategies, to the ambiguities of some of the actors involved this 
initiative had the merit of rekindling the fire of solidarity and 
offering a symbol of resistance. The flotilla brought the reality of 
Gaza to global attention, broke the wall of silence, and raised the cry 
of "Free Palestine" and "Stop the genocide."

The impact of these mobilizations cannot be underestimated: they 
reawakened forgotten energies, bringing together people of diverse 
backgrounds and ideologies around a common goal of justice. In an era 
dominated by cynicism and the collapse of ideologies, these solidarity 
initiatives became a revolutionary act, an act of rebellion against 
injustice, against the system of domination that keeps us divided and 
passive.

This mass mobilization, expressed through protests, marches, boycotts, 
and direct initiatives, represents the most powerful antidote to the 
lies of those who would have us believe that peace can be imposed with 
bombs, sanctions, or treaties signed by the puppets of the powerful. 
True peace comes from justice, from the end of the occupation, and from 
the Palestinian people's freedom of self-determination.

In an era when large multinationals and globalized governments seek to 
monopolize every space for resistance, civil mobilizations and mass 
demonstrations are the only possible response. They express a desire for 
freedom, self-determination, and justice that is making its way through 
the rubble of a rotten system. The struggle in Gaza, like the protests 
in Italy, Spain, France, Nepal, Indonesia, Peru, the Philippines, and 
the United States, are part of a process of rebuilding a different, more 
just, and less oppressive world. They are an example of how solidarity 
can become a weapon of global revolution, capable of challenging 
everything that divides us and building a common front against 
oppression. Eight billion against that handful of imbeciles who want to 
control us.

Let's not forget that this battle isn't just about Gaza or Palestine. 
It's about all of us; it's about our ability to resist, organize, and 
fight against global injustice. Solidarity with Gaza and its people is a 
gesture of rebellion against the system of oppression that keeps us 
divided and passive. It's an invitation to all dormant civil energies, 
to all consciences that delude themselves into thinking they can change 
things without a true collective effort.

Only the struggle of a people who have become aware of themselves, and 
only class struggle, can lead to true freedom for all.
