    The Saudi crown prince claims to want a moderate Islam but Saudi prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against a Saudi religious reformist thinker on a host of vague charges relating to his peaceful religious ideas.

    لو تعلمين يا لجين مدى تأثيرك وحجمه الذي تضاعف بعد اعتقالك وتعذيبك وتجريدك من حقوقك كمعتقلة ودفعهم ليطلقون المطبلون لهم للاساءة لك لجهودك التي لم تخفى على متابع لنشاطك ما أعظمك يا حرة رغم قيودك وأسوار معتقلك اللعين

    You can't even make this up

    Oh one other thing. There's a whole section on the importance of sacrosanct property rights in the Palestinian territories which I simply lack the words to comment on 😂

    What it actually presupposes is that the Palestinians are squarely to blame for their own poverty and misery, because of course brutal military occupation and institutional racism don't matter

    I could go on but, again, Saturday night. Suffice it to say this is a pie-in-the-sky document that presupposes Israel will agree to everything, the occupation will stop massively distorting Palestine's economy, and all the other political considerations magically vanish.

    Kushner wants Palestine to achieve a World Bank Doing Business ranking of "75 or better." I sat with a Palestinian CEO last week who told me about having to transport his goods via donkeys when Israeli checkpoints closed the roads. That kind of stuff makes it hard to score well

    "Just as Dubai and Singapore have benefited from their strategic locations and flourished as regional financial hubs, the West Bank and Gaza can ultimately develop into a regional trading center." Like Dubai or Singapore, just without an airport!

    It goes on to suggest developing Gaza's coast by "drawing from examples like Beirut," which suggests that none of the plan's authors have ever actually seen the concrete monstrosity that is Beirut's coastline

    The plan will "help the Palestinians leap a generation forward in digital services" with 5G technology. Great! Except it was only last year that Israel let the West Bank install 3G (which the rest of us got in the aughts), for reasons no one can adequately explain.

    "Additional investment will finance the development of a transportation corridor directly connecting the West Bank and Gaza." Israel has undertaken to do this for decades. Never happened because, guess what, it's complicated! Not just a matter of building a monorail.

    Just to start, the website for the "Peace to Prosperity" plan includes a glossy photo of Palestinians walking past a USAID-funded school. Donald Trump cut USAID funding in the Palestinian territories.

    I'm reading the Kushner plan for economic peace—really, what else would I rather do on a beautiful Saturday evening in June?—and I'll tweet some thoughts on it as I go.

    What is the EU doing now about Sudan, a key country of 40+ million people that has risen for dignity and democracy, only to face virtual occupation by a brutal militia its policies have for years supported? Anything other than fake concern?

    Here's the kicker: The RSF (which I remind is a rebranding of the militias that committed genocide in Darfur) have received support from... the EU. For helping manage refugee flow.

    Let this sink in: The RSF, which is a rebranding of the Janjaweed militias that committed war crimes in Darfur, have effectively occupied Sudan's capital. Its head, Hemedti, is a close ally of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A Saudi/UAE ally has occupied Sudan's capital.

    Hemedti has rebuffed yet again another concerted plea from senior generals to step aside. With his RSF in control of Khartoum; army fearful of bloodbath if it…

    And yet even the so-called economic component is a tragicomedy, based upon racism, steeped in racism, and wrapped in layers upon layers of racism. Anybody who pushes this plan as a serious option we Palestinians should even consider is nothing less than a raging racist.

    This is exactly true. What has been announced, we must stress, is only the "economic component" of the plan. It's what they want to dangle so we can swallow the as yet undeclared bitter political pill.

    Media should stop misleading label: This is NOT an 'economy first' plan, as the White House's own announcement of Bahrain conference shows. It is about dangling pledges of potential economic investment, IF Palestinians swallow unacceptable political terms.
