In light of most recent US veto against ongoing massacres, I want to share something stunning I learned at one of @jadaliyya ’s excellent teach-ins. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the Pal-Israel conflict yet still didn’t realize this even though it’s obvious.

So when the US says it is vetoing ceasefire because it would plant the seeds of the next war, the seeds of the next war have been consistently planted by joint US-Israeli policy that is willing to try anything except a bare minimum of justice

Yet there is no 140 sq. mi. area in the West Bank of contiguous Palestinian sovereignty because it has been fully carved out by Israeli settlements and the labyrinth of the occupation.

It’s that Gaza strip prior to Oct. 7th represented the largest contiguous area of Palestinian sovereignty. Our mental image is of Gaza as this tiny place (140 sq. mi), compared to the much larger West Bank (2263 sq mi).

This is what Oslo has wrought. This is what PLO gained by ‘recognizing Israel’ (without reciprocal recognition), giving up armed struggle, giving up claims on historic Palestine, etc.
