After President Donald Trump held a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House released the “comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza” agreed upon by the leaders. Of the 20 points contained in the document, only one (point 12: no one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave may do so and return freely) does not represent nonsense or a crime against humanity.

The vertigo and harshness of the events that overwhelm us leave, as a result, the dissolution of evil: it is erased by habit, it becomes trivial, a nonsense.
