Groundhog Day in the Lincoln Office: Palestine and the Repetition of Betrayal
Author’s Note
This essay indicts Donald Trump’s October 2025 peace proposal for perpetuating the erasure of Palestinian history and reinforcing a legacy of partition and domination. It contrasts the plan’s framing — centered on the return of Israeli hostages and military withdrawal — with the lived reality of Palestinian dispossession, captivity, and denied return. By invoking “peace” while entrenching occupation and apartheid, the proposal distorts the Palestinian struggle and exposes the double standard through which American ideals are selectively applied. Abraham Lincoln’s vision of indivisible nationhood remains potent — but in Trump’s view of Palestine, it is hollowed, repurposed to justify partition rather than resist it. The essay invokes Lincoln’s consecrated ground — not as a site of fulfilled promise, but as a measure of betrayal — where Palestinian endurance is ritualized through recurring frameworks of containment, rendered a spectacle of managed subjugation.
Of course, they'll brake the deal. They always do...and blame everyone else.
"how dare you put your face in front of my fist!"
Fuck the cunt deal. Read real thinkers, please:
