51 h. ago Trump’s peace plan is everything Israelis dreamed of. But it’s a fantasy | Roy Schwartz

The president’s intervention promises a return to ‘normality’ – one that appeals to Israelis unconcerned with Gaza’s futureRoy Schwartz is a senior editor and op-ed contributor at HaaretzIt didn’t take long before the Gospel of Donald became a message that everyone in Israel could embrace.

It’s not likely we will reach Gaza. But until Palestine is free, we will show what solidarity we can from our vesselMy first task on the boat is to ease a red rope from the cockpit while a Danish participant opposite me tautens a white one.

There are seven people on board: three French, two Irish, one Dane and one Irish-Danish for good measure.Ours is the fastest boat of the Thousand Madleens flotilla sailing to Gaza just behind the Global Sumud ships. My boat was the last to depart; we saw off eight other ships at the port, having just shared a week of intensive training with those on board. All participants have been sleeping on our boats since we arrived, so we know their layouts well. I have found a space for each of my possessions to “live” in a cramped environment where everything must be kept in lockers. Continue reading...
