Gaza Not for Sale: Kushner's Ethical Quagmire Exposed

Not much can be said about Jared Kushner’s failing morality that doesn’t leave you incensed or shocked by his inhumanity and other dubious traits he possesses.

You don’t have to hark too far back to get a good sense of just what a special kind of person Kushner really is.

The smug billionaire brat also has a face that leaves you in no-doubt, not only does he look slimy but has shown all the hallmarks he is.

Kushner’s years of Saudi arse kissing, and murder-excusing, helped him secure $2bn worth of funding for his then newly established private equity firm, Affinity Partners, from the Saudi’s who believed Kushner and his firm were a joke and didn’t deserve a razoo.

Kushner has MBS to thank for authorising the funds. Doubt has always hung always over how Kushner acquired his wealth, even though maintains all his business dealings are legal.

However, Kushner's recent comments about Gaza's waterfront reinforces what a class act he really is.

It reveals his startling disregard for the plight and realities of the Palestinian people and the terror and of their humanity they have endured.

His suggestion Israel should "clean up" the area for its real estate potential, sees Kushner reducing one of the worst war crimes committed to economic opportunity.

Kushner’s insensitivity not only overlooks the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but the longstanding political, social struggles and oppression Palestinians have had to endure.

The former advisor to President Donald Trump, Kushner not only reflects a profound insensitivity to the suffering and rights of Palestinians but frames their homeland as an asset rather than a place of overwhelming historical and cultural significance.

Furthermore, his stance illustrates a clear disconnect he has with international norms and global consensus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The suggestion economic development could precede the resolution of critical political and human rights isn’t only a flawed premise but undermines all efforts toward achieving a fair and sustainable peace.

Ignoring the systemic challenges faced by Palestinians, including restrictions on movement, access to resources, and political autonomy, overlooks the broader context of the conflict and the deep-rooted tensions that fuel it.

Kushner's role helping shape US foreign policy towards the Middle East during the Trump administration contributed to a unilateral approach which favoured Israeli interests while marginalising the voice and aspiration of the Palestinians.

Policies Kushner enacted, like the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, are examples of a pattern of actions that have helped to exacerbate tensions and complicate a path to peace.

Furthermore, Kushner’s assertion the lives of Palestinian people will improve only through accountability from their leadership, fails to acknowledge the power imbalance between Israel and Palestine and the impact US policy is and has had.

Kushner not only oversimplifies the complex dynamics at play and for sidelining the significant external influences that shape the conflict's landscape but ignore the complex history and deep-seated emotions involved.

By reducing the issue to political manoeuvring, his perspective dismisses the experiences of those directly affected by the conflict. It not only undermines the possibility of genuine understanding and empathy but also risks perpetuating a narrative that may hinder efforts towards finding a lasting peace.

Kushner’s remarks according to critics, could be interpreted as disregarding the principles of international law and the rights of displaced people.

By viewing Gaza's humanitarian crisis as an opportunity to cash in on opportunities to purchase and develop real estate displays an incredible level of ignorance which disregards the suffering of the Palestinians.

The public reaction to Kushner's proposal highlights an overwhelming concern about the potential consequences of policies shaped by such perspectives.

The policies Kushner helped shape during his time in the Trump administration are reflective of a unilateral approach that has marginalised Palestinian needs and aspirations.

His policies not only failed to advance the peace process but contributed to deteriorating conditions on the ground.

The prioritisation of political and economic agendas over a comprehensive understanding of the conflict's historical, social, and cultural dimensions has, in hindered the search for a sustainable and equitable solution.

While controversy continues to mount around Kushner's remarks, it highlights the importance of international engagement that strives for solutions to bring about peace, security, and prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Simply, Kushner's remarks are indicative of a failure to engage with the Palestinian plight in a way that respects their rights, aspirations, and humanity.
