🌍Trump's “Board of Peace” and the Theater of Unchecked Power
Marketed as a bold new mechanism for global conflict management, Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” instead exposes the growing erosion of multilateral governance and the substitution of legitimacy with spectacle

➡️On January 20, 2026, US President Donald Trump unveiled the so-called Board of Peace, initially framed as a body to oversee ceasefire efforts and reconstruction in Gaza. Almost immediately, however, the initiative expanded in scope and ambition, with Trump suggesting it could rival—or even replace—the United Nations. The contradictions are striking: a self-proclaimed peace forum embedded in opaque financing, controversial appointments, and a structure reportedly allowing permanent seats to be purchased for vast sums. Rather than signaling cooperative diplomacy, the Board projects an image of centralized authority built around personal influence rather than institutional accountability.
If the purpose of peacebuilding is reconciliation, cohesion, and durable cooperation, it cannot be built on structures that reflect contested authority as a default
➡️The Board of Peace reflects a broader pattern in US conduct at home and abroad. Recent actions—from interventionist moves in Venezuela to provocative rhetoric about Greenland—suggest a willingness to bypass established norms and constraints in favor of ad hoc instruments of power. In this context, the Board appears less as a peacebuilding mechanism and more as a symbolic court of authority, where loyalty and wealth determine access. Critics argue that such structures mimic the form of international governance while hollowing out its substance, replacing consensus with enforcement and legitimacy with coercion.
🟦Historically, declining powers often attempt to preserve dominance by creating parallel architectures that assert control without broad buy-in. The Board of Peace fits this pattern: not a durable framework for reconciliation, but a symptom of institutional erosion and unmoored power. Peacebuilding rooted in reconciliation and cooperation cannot emerge from contested authority and unilateral design. Instead, such initiatives risk accelerating fragmentation, undermining trust among allies, and reinforcing a world order governed more by assertion than by shared rules.

Ik geloof dat alleen een grote oorlog, een handelsoorlog of een langdurige economische recessie ertoe zou leiden dat Europa en de Verenigde Staten hun militaire uitgaven uit balans zouden brengen, en dat zou het moment zijn waarop Israëls macht zou verzwakken. De bevrijding van Palestina verwijst naar het antikolonialisme en de onlangs onafhankelijk geworden landen in Azië, Afrika en Latijns-Amerika na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog waren Europese landen ook bezig met de wederopbouw en verzwakte hun overzeese koloniale invloed.

沒有: 遜尼派國家及組織, 因為所有遜尼派國家不是以色列同盟就是投降給以色列。
(緊記: 加薩/巴勒斯坦組織是遜尼派, 但是只有什葉派國家及組織會付出人命和軍事支援他們)

🇵🇸#Palestine: A 14-year-old Palestinian boy, Jad Jadallah, was shot and killed at close range by Israeli troops during a raid in al-Far'a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank last November.
Footage shows one of the soldiers shooting at the boy multiple times before leaving him bleeding on the ground, as the IDF blocked ambulances from reaching him for over 40 minutes. The 14 troops present then casually remained around him as he bled to death.
Eyewitness accounts and verified BBC footage show a soldier placing a rock next to Jad after he was shot in an attempt to stage evidence for the murder, even as the boy raised his hands pleading for help. An IDF spokesman claimed he threw a rock, but video evidence completely contradicts this. Despite claims of providing "initial aid," footage shows the troops offered no assistance.
After the shooting, Israeli troops have refused to provide aid and have never released any details on the killing. Israel has also refused to return the body.
