Palestine: When the Criminal is Declared a 'Peace Maker'

The most dangerous thing facing the people of Palestine today is not just the continuation of war, but the ability to deceive by labeling this war as peace. Gaza is being destroyed daily, children are still being killed, civilians are being displaced, hospitals and schools are being targeted, electricity, water, food, and all means of life are under siege, leaving the population to starve and suffer from disease and death in a collective extermination that is the worst since World War II, while the West Bank is targeted with land annexation and people being confined to ghettos, where their cities and properties are Judaized, their land and means of livelihood are confiscated, and the overall daily life opportunities are curbed by imposed restrictions, siege, and suffocating economic policies. At the same time, Trump, the criminal who commits these crimes and is wanted for international justice, is proclaimed a 'peace maker', as if a crime of extermination can be whitewashed with a false title. This is the largest moral fraud in contemporary history, where the executioner is marketed as a savior bringing a false promise of peace that is nothing more than a greater illusion, while he continues to commit violations, killings, and extermination. Not to mention the ongoing fragmentation both in terms of identity and representation, occurring under the supervision of the deceit called the 'Peace Council'. It is extermination that targets not only Palestine but also the principles of international law and the preservation of global peace in a world that is being desired to be devoid of justice.

This international fraud and deception is double-edged; it attempts to conceal the crime from the world by covering up the criminal in the name of peace, creating an illusion that there is a political solution or a real conflict management, while extermination continues without protests that used to fill the capitals and cities of the world. At the same time, the criminal is whitewashed instead of being held accountable, receiving the title of peace maker, which puts the victims in an impossible position and turns them into secondary victims in a misleading global discourse. This deviation is not merely a political or linguistic deception, but a moral and historical crime that distorts values and justice, turning power into the measure of right while injustice is marketed as legitimacy. In Palestine, this fraud is clearly manifested, and the Trumpian game is nothing but this deception to circumvent the international public opinion that has begun to worry Trump and his fully engaged administration, which is still involved in the arrangements for the political extermination of the Palestinian destiny in preparation for subjugating the entire region.

Politics without justice turns into a tool for managing power, not for establishing rights or protecting humans, but for normalizing crime and hiding the killing and reshaping the public conscience in a way that makes the daily tragedy tolerable. Success at the expense of right is not strength but a moral and historical weakness, and realistic politics that justifies crime in the name of survival or stability is a policy without direction, without spirit, and without moral legitimacy. Here lies the responsibility of peoples; whoever agrees, remains silent, legitimizes, or extends a hand for killing becomes a partner in the crime and a sponsor of moral and historical deviation.

Justice is a condition for peace and the legitimacy of power, and any authority without fairness is incapable of persuasion, as violence emerges when legitimacy fails to convince the governed. In Palestine, the absence of justice is not just an injustice but a fertile ground for genocide and the systematic politics of abolishing an entire people, with a gradual global complicity in the name of interests or silent complicity. When moral conscience collapses, rights are not directly abolished but redefined; the victim becomes a security file, the demand for accountability is called obstinacy, necessity is marketed as a supreme value, and victims become hostages of a misleading global discourse. This is not just a linguistic shift but a restructuring of public awareness and conferring legitimacy on violations, as the absence of justice generates a continuous cycle of violence, turning daily life into institutional hell.

Peace is not merely the absence of fighting, but the existence of a system in which a person feels seen and recognized, a system that guarantees their rights and dignity. Separating politics from justice means managing interests devoid of human value, based on coercion rather than voluntary compliance. The most dangerous thing Palestinians are experiencing today is not just the continuation of the war but normalizing the moral paradox, protecting the executioner in the name of realism, demanding the victim to be patient in the name of stability, and redefining peace away from stopping the crime and holding the perpetrator accountable.

Politics that protects power at the expense of right may manage the scene temporarily, but it loses its moral and historical legitimacy; deferred justice does not disappear but returns as a more urgent question facing humanity as a whole. Naming things differently is not neutrality but engagement in the creation of a deadly illusion. Peace that does not stop the killing, does not acknowledge responsibility, and does not restore rights to the victims is not peace but a civilized management of genocide and political extermination. The responsibility of the peoples here is clear; whoever agrees, is silent, or turns a blind eye in the name of their state or interests becomes a witness to the extermination of a people and responsible before global conscience and history.

Moreover, the danger of ignoring the centrality of justice, including in Palestine, is not just a temporary injustice but portends a dark future world. A world ruled by power without a standard of right, where violations and systematic policies become tools of false legitimacy, and a culture spreads that justifies injustice in the name of interests or security. Any complacency with justice today generates ongoing moral and political crises tomorrow, leaving all humanity hostage to a new cycle of violence, where evil becomes an accepted project, and the concepts of rights and dignity are lost for future generations.

The question that faces the world today is: Does power define right, or does right grant power its legitimacy? In Palestine, the answer determines whether we are witnessing the beginning of true peace or a deeper phase of moral and historical decline, and the extermination of an entire people recorded in the memory of humanity, and a world where humanity awaits the consequences of ignoring justice everywhere.
