Trump’s Twenty Miracles: How to Rebrand a Quagmire as Civilization’s “Great Day”

Introduction: A “New Gaza” or the Same Old Mirage?

Two years after Gaza was buried under its own ashes, the world is once again being asked to clap for “peace.”
Donald J. Trump, self-proclaimed peacemaker of the century, has unveiled his latest script — a 20-point plan to build a “New Gaza.It’s being hailed as a turning point in civilization, a triumph of diplomacy, a fresh dawn.

But scratch the gold plating, and it’s just the same machinery of  dressed in a new marketing campaign.
Yossi Alpher, a seasoned Israeli strategist, calls it what it is: another exercise in repackaging disaster as deliverance.


The Art of the Ceasefire Deal

Alpher breaks it down with surgical precision.
Trump’s points three through eight — ceasefire, partial withdrawal, hostage swaps, humanitarian corridors — might actually happen. Why? Because they’ve all happened before.

It’s déjà vu diplomacythe illusion of progress, choreographed by the same players who profit from the performance.
The victims remain the same. The ruins remain the same. Only the language changes.

Meanwhile, points one, two, and nine through twentythe lofty promises of “deradicalization,” “self-determination,” and “reconstruction” — belong to the museum of failed peace plans. Words polished smooth by repetition, emptied of meaning by time.




Spoilers, Convenient and Otherwise

In this tragic theater, every actor has a role.

  • Palestinian Islamic Jihad remains the catch-all villain.
  • Hamas is expected to surrender its arms and dignity simultaneously.
  • And Netanyahu’s Kahanist coalition? They cling to their seats, dreaming of “transfer” and “Riviera projects.”

If irony were a state policy, this would be Israel’s most successful export.


Trump’s Peace Theater

The casting is flawless.
Trump — the salesman-turned-savior demands applause for “ending” a war whose embers he helped fan. Netanyahu, humiliated yet unbroken, plays the reluctant actor pretending it was all his idea.

Meanwhile, Qatar and Turkey walk away as “regional winners,” not for championing justice, but for mastering the choreography of convenience. The Doha royals, now blessed with new U.S. guarantees, might as well hang a framed print of that infamous photoBibi apologizing, Trump smirking, and history sighing in the corner.

And then there’s Tony Blair, the ghost of Iraq’s destruction, resurrected to manage Gaza’s “reconstruction.” The same man who once preached democracy from a tank turret now promises reform through “stabilization.”

If absurdity were a development plan, this one would already be funded.


Israel’s Moral Defeat

Alpher’s verdict is chilling: Israel may have won militarily, but it has lost morally, internationally, and economically.

It’s a strange kind of victory — the kind that requires an apology to Trump, the loss of global sympathy, and a society unable to look its own reflection in the eye.

But the West has perfected the art of selective amnesia. The same capitals that armed the war now fund the “peace.” The same media that justified the famine now write about “hope.”



In the end, Gaza’s suffering is simply rebranded as another line item in the global charity ledger.





The Mirage of “New Gaza”

Let’s be clear: Gaza does not need a New Gaza.”
It needs justice, freedom, and a future not written by its oppressors.

No photo-op in Doha, no apology from Bibi, no handshake choreographed by Trump’s PR team can cleanse the rubble of its truth. What Gaza needs is not “stability” — it’s liberation from those who define stability as silence.



Trump’s twenty points might pause the bombs.
But if peace without accountability is the goal, then the plan is just another chapter in the long book of global hypocrisy.




Epilogue: The Repetition That Kills

Two years since October 7, the world still expects Gaza to rise from dust without demanding justice from those who made it dust.

Perhaps Trump will indeed make history.
But for Gaza, history has never been the problem.
It’s the repetition that kills.

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Ana Kasparian: The Voice That Won’t Be Silent — A Call for Truth in an Age of Power

  Ana Kasparian is one of the most recognized and outspoken voices in contemporary political media. As a co-host of The Young Turks — a trailblazing online news and commentary program — she has spent nearly two decades dissecting U.S. politics, media, power, and foreign policy with unapologetic clarity and fierce conviction. She is not just a commentator — she is a truth-seeker who challenges power at every turn , refusing to soften her words for comfort. Schooled in journalism and political science, Ana’s commentary continues to mobilize millions, especially younger generations who feel unheard in mainstream discourse. A Voice Against the Status Quo Ana’s rhetoric can be bold, controversial, and deeply passionate — because she refuses to accept narratives that obscure the underlying truth about power and influence. On American democracy and foreign policy, she strikes at the heart of what many hesitate to articulate: “ We don’t actually live in a true democracy here in t...

Gaza and the Collapse of World Order: When the Guardian of Human Rights Sounds the Alarm

There are moments when the language of diplomacy fails, when caution becomes complicity, and when silence becomes an accomplice to destruction. On January 9, 2026, Agnès Callamard—Secretary General of Amnesty International—crossed that threshold. Her words were unambiguous, unprecedented, and devastating: The United States is destroying world order. Israel has been doing so for the last two years. Germany, through complicity and repression, is helping govern its demise. This was not activist rhetoric. It was a diagnosis from the very institution tasked with guarding the moral and legal architecture of the modern world. The Collapse of the Post-War Moral Architecture The international order that emerged after World War II was built on a promise: never again . Never again genocide. Never again collective punishment. Never again impunity for powerful states. That promise was codified in international law, human rights conventions, and multilateral institutions. But Gaza has...

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

  There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

Citizens on Paper, Expendable in Practice Arab Israelis, October 7, and the Failure of International Law Inside the “Only Democracy”

  Israel tells the world it is the only democracy in the Middle East . Democracies, we are reminded, protect all citizens equally—especially minorities—especially in times of crisis. Now look at Palestinian citizens of Israel , roughly 20% of the population , in the months following October 7 . Then ask: what exactly does citizenship mean when the state will not protect your life? The Forgotten Fifth of the Population Arab citizens of Israel vote. They hold passports. They pay taxes. They are citizens in the narrow, bureaucratic sense. But international law does not define citizenship by paperwork. It defines it by: Equal protection Non-discrimination The right to life Equal access to justice On those measures, Israel is not merely failing—it is structurally violating its obligations . A Murder Epidemic the State Chooses Not to Stop Long before October 7, Arab towns inside Israel were drowning in violence: Illegal weapons proliferated Organized crime flourished ...
