"The Deafening Silence of Power: Arab Complicity and Global Indifference to Palestinian Liberation: How normalization, diplomacy, and selective outrage perpetuate occupation and erase Palestinian rights"

It interrogates the Abraham Accords, revealing normalization as a strategic betrayal of decades-long Arab solidarity and Palestinian liberation. The paper analyzes the collapse of the two-state solution, Gaza's siege as an instrument of collective punishment, and the intergenerational indoctrination that manufactures supremacist narratives. These developments are framed within the logic of transactional diplomacy, where Western and regional powers prioritize economic, technological, and security gains over justice, enabling occupation while presenting an illusion of "peace." The roles of the Christian Right, cultural appropriation, and international institutions in sustaining apartheid and erasing Palestinian history are critically examined. The article argues that diplomacy has become a tool of control, not resolution, and concludes by advocating for radical counter-power, global accountability, and cultural resistance as essential instruments for genuine Palestinian liberation.
