Trusteeship assumes a world divided btwn “child-like” ppl incapable of looking after themselves-a characterisation now applied to the Palestinian ppl of Gaza-and “adults”,such as Blair et al,who r able 2rule over not only their own ppl,but also others Falling into the “child”category is the rationale 4 requiring trusteeship.In the League of Nations Covenant,the ppl of the mandates were“not yet able 2stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world”

Why the Trump-Blair Gaza plan is unlawful
I wrote the book on the (il)legality of international trusteeship. This colonial practice should not be revived in the Palestinian Gaza Strip

Well, I think you can interpret it lots of different ways. I’m not going to tell you how to interpret it, but to me, what it means is that all of our struggles are interconnected.” https://truthout.org/articles/computer-science-lecturer-at-berkeley-is-on-day-36-of-his-hunger-strike-for-gaza/
The WaPo subsequently reported on a leaked doc t proposed ethnically cleansing the region &creating numerous mega-projects in the Gaza Strip,including the“Gaza Trump Riviera & Islands,” described as“World-class resorts along the coastline & on small artificial islands” NBC News reported t in August,Blair & Jared Kushner hd presented the proposal to the White House."

"A video released in February by Middle East Eye showed footage of an elated Israeli soldier sharing a TikTok video of himself driving a bulldozer into that hospital, chuckling as his digger crushed a cinderblock wall. “The hospital accidentally broke,” he said. Evidence of Israel’s crimes was by then accumulating, much of it provided by the IDF itself." @Palestine فلسطين :verified: @palestine group #News#Press #IsraelWarCrimes #WesternComplicity #StarvationAsWeapon #Cruelty #ChemicalWar

“The collective trauma in Gaza is not a single moment, but a continuous accumulation over years,” Dr. Mohammad told me. “We are talking about a generation born and raised in an environment of fear, loss, and destruction. Everyone is affected to some degree. It is not an individual trauma, but a structural one that wounds the very social fabric and reshapes collective consciousness.” @DrALJONES https://truthout.org/articles/gaza-mental-health-professionals-warn-of-urgent-widespread-trauma-crisis/ #Press #Genocide #Palestine #WesternComplicity #IsraelWarCrimes #Starvation
At 1st, the psychological reactions were acute but predictable—fear, panic, anxiety.Today, we have entered a stage of chronic trauma fatigue, where ppl live in a state of emotional numbness, loss of meaning& internal fragmentation. Ppl don’t cry as they did in the early days;instead, they look at you w/ empty eyes,as if saying goodbye to life w/o leaving it.There is no expression of emotion(...)They speak and act as if death were just another story to tell. @palestine group https://truthout.org/articles/gaza-mental-health-professionals-warn-of-urgent-widespread-trauma-crisis/
"Within hours of the bulldozers’ arrival on July 31, 2025, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees’ seed multiplication facility lay in ruins—its propagation materials scattered, its infrastructure demolished, and with it, generations of Palestinian agricultural heritage reduced to rubble. What happened in Hebron fits the legal definition of ecocide — the deliberate destruction of ecosystems to undermine human survival" https://truthout.org/articles/israels-attacks-on-seed-banks-destroy-millenia-of-palestinian-cultural-heritage/ @palestine group @DrALJONES #Press #Genocide #Gaza
This is not “resilience.”This is refusal. WesternNGOs &donors love to say“resilience.” It is how they launder complicity.It is how they celebrate survival w/o ever naming the hand on the trigger. But nothing abt Taqat is resilience in t empty sense.Taqat is resistance.It is infrastructure under siege.It is solar panels standing in for a bombed-out grid.It is adolescents coding while their schools lie in rubble.It is Gaza insisting:we will not disappear.
