"The 'peace process' became a magic pill rendering the occupation invisible to the west, disguising its metastisizing, omnipresent and ever more violent form. Palestine was now reduced to a subject of “negotiation” requiring concessions, with the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine swept under the rug to be forgotten."

"With this magic pill swallowed, Israel used the cover of the 'peace process' to build and expand Israeli settlements, correctly believing that these facts on the ground would strengthen their position at the negotiating table. And with the settlements came settlers and checkpoints and an expanding Kafkaesque system of military control."'
"Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians, according to a Washington Post poll."

(Sorry that I inadvertently tied a thread about Israel-Gaza to this one):
"Blackhawk helicopters, drones and armed agents launch a middle of the night raid on a residential building in a U.S. city, engaging in warrantless mass arrests.
Boats in international water more than 2,500 miles from the United States targeted by the military—killing all on board.
These events are very much connected."
