Kushner as a colonial administrator: let’s talk about the ‘Israeli Model’
RAMZY BAROUD exposes Jared Kushner's 'deal of the century' as an accomodation with neo-colonialism

IN A TV interview on June 2, on the news docu-series “Axios” on the HBO channel, Jared Kushner opened up regarding many issues, in which his “Deal of the Century” was a prime focus.

The major revelation made by Kushner, President Donald Trump’s adviser and son-in-law, was least surprising. Kushner believes that Palestinians are not capable of governing themselves.

Not surprising, because Kushner thinks he is capable of arranging the future of the Palestinian people without the inclusion of the Palestinian leadership. He has been pushing his so-called “Deal of the Century” relentlessly, while including in his various meetings and conferences countries such as Poland, Brazil and Croatia, but not Palestine.
