On the neocons all over again – Amir Tibon in Haaretz:
The experiment would ‘go something like this: American companies will begin operating in southern Gaza, under the supervision of the Israeli military, in a "humanitarian compound" surrounded by barbed wire. Two million Gazan citizens will be concentrated in this compound to get food and aid, while Israel will take over the rest of Gaza and use the pressure put on Gaza's population in order to topple the Hamas regime.’
(…)
‘If all this sounds familiar to you, that means you've probably lived through the Iraq War and the "happy" days of American contractors operating under military guidance in an attempt to "separate the local population from the terrorists" and replace the regime, but it's unclear with what exactly.’
(…)
‘Two decades later, they are promoting their Gaza plan in similar fashion – and so far, despite all the rage about the "neocons disrupting his agenda," the president seems to buy it.’
