The Mirage of Transition, by Dennis J. Kucinich
4 October 2025
Gaza is an occupied territory. Its borders, airspace, imports, exports, and even calories are controlled by Israel and its Western backers. Gaza does not need another flag flown above its ruins; it needs the right to rebuild on its own terms.
Western governments are preparing a plan for Gaza’s postwar administration. The proposal, advanced through quiet coordination between Washington, London, and Jerusalem, would establish a new international body called the Gaza International Transitional Authority to govern the territory for several years following the conflict. The concept, promoted as a stabilization effort, is said to draw inspiration from earlier foreign-led missions in Kosovo and Lebanon.
At the centre of this “plan” is the risible suggestion that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair should lead the authority, overseeing Gaza’s reconstruction, policing, and governance on behalf of the self-proclaimed international community.
Gaza Governor Blair. “You What?!”
Tony Blair, then British Prime Minister, gave George W. Bush political cover for the invasion of Iraq which resulted in the deaths of over 1,000,000 Iraqis. On July 23, 2002, as recorded in the infamous Downing Street Memo, Blair’s government reviewed the case for the war and concluded that “the [U.S.] intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”
Put another way, President Bush was lying about Iraq being a threat.

The British government, led by Blair, knew Bush was lying. Tony Blair gave special legitimacy to that lie. The U.S. attack on Iraq commenced seven months later.
Blair’s slavish devotion to the Western narrative, no matter how totally corrupt, credentials him well to lead a proposed Gaza International Transitional Authority, an interim body that would rule Gaza for several years before handing power to a restructured Palestinian Authority.
This is an imperial project by definition, one that would embed permanent control, deepen division, and ensure that Gaza will be subjugated. What a surprise.
Enter Tony Blair as a peace envoy, illustrating the grotesque inversion of reality wherein an architect of war becomes an exemplar of peace for a people who have experienced the ravages of genocide at the hands of the very western interests Blair continues to serve.
More recent reports indicate President Trump or Trump-aligned representatives will also take part in this pretense of governance, but my guess is that the grim implications of such an endeavor will give the White House pause and provide even more encouragement for the appointment of Blair as Governor of the Gaza Occupation, packaged as reform.
The proper motto of this cynical rebranding of colonial rule by the same powers who drew the map of the Middle East, should be: ‘What is broken, stays broken.’ Under this condition, imperialism as humanitarianism becomes war as peace.
Who better to keep this wretched system in place than Blair, who as the envoy of the Middle East’s Quartet (composed of US, EU, UN and Russia) from 2007-2015, served Israel’s interests alone.
Kosovo: Occupation Disguised as Liberation
Let’s dive deeper into the proposition that Blair and his advocates present Kosovo and Lebanon as what they propose to do in Gaza, demonstrating that international administration can produce liberal democracy.
In their telling, NATO’s 1999 intervention was a triumph. Milosevic’s forces were expelled, the United Nations assumed control, and a stable state eventually emerged.
But history tells a different story. Under the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, foreign officials assumed full executive, legislative, and judicial control.
Local leaders were reduced to consultation. At first, this was accepted as liberation. Within five years, it was understood to be not liberation but occupation.
Riots erupted in 2004. The phrase “UNMIK equals governance by bullets” captured the truth of an unaccountable government imposed without consent.
Kosovo today is undergoing an even more rigid implementation of a failed and wrong headed model of forced fracture and sectarian governance masquerading as peace and democracy. It is a place where Western powers celebrate the illusion of stability while maintaining the reality of dependency. The Kosovo model, which institutionalized occupation under international management is proposed for Gaza.
Lebanon: The Architecture of Division
Both Kosovo and Lebanon were built on the same imperial premise: Divided peoples are easier to control than united ones.
The Lebanon model entrenched colonial sectarianism under local disguise. Under the French Mandate beginning in 1920, Lebanon became a testing ground for what the West still calls power sharing. France redrew borders to create a Christian majority state under Maronite leadership and wrote sectarian identity into the constitution.
The National Pact of 1943 later codified this arrangement, guaranteeing each religious community fixed control of the highest offices: The presidency to a Maronite Christian, the prime minister to a Sunni Muslim, and the speakership of parliament to a Shia Muslim.
What looked like balance was in truth a system of permanent division. This structure was not born from Lebanon’s culture. It was born from a French colonial strategy, designed to preserve influence by keeping the country internally fragmented.
Over time, sectarianism became not a reflection of society but its architecture. Patronage, corruption, and militia rule followed. Every community became a fiefdom, every ministry a prize for one sect’s elite.
When civil war erupted in Lebanon in 1975, the fault lines had already been laid by this colonial inheritance. The war was the logical outcome of a system that defined citizens first by confession and then by allegiance. Even the Taif Agreement of 1989, which ended the war, merely recalibrated the quotas. It did not remove the sectarian scaffolding that guaranteed paralysis.
The result is a nation where governance itself is gridlock, where corruption, inequality, and dependency masquerade as coexistence.
That Lebanon is now invoked as a plan for Gaza, manufactured fragility presented as multicultural harmony, endless negotiation sold as peace demonstrates the West knows nothing about Lebanon and even less about Gaza.
Repeating History in Gaza
Applying the Lebanon approach to Gaza is to deliberately reproduce the conditions of conflict and call it reconstruction. It is to confuse division for diversity, subjugation for security, and occupation for order.
Gaza is not a failed state in need of administration. It is an occupied territory. Its borders, airspace, imports, exports, and even calories are controlled by Israel and its Western backers. It has lived under blockade and bombardment for years. Its economy and infrastructure are systematically strangled.
An imported administration, armed, funded, and directed by outsiders would not bring relief. It would extend the existing system of colonial control, formalizing it under international management.
Such a mission would amount to the same outcome: Foreign rule as liberation.
Gaza does not need another flag flown above its ruins; it needs the right to rebuild on its own terms.
Lessons Unlearned: From Sykes-Picot to Blair
Western diplomats, custodians of the system that created the crisis, describe such missions as temporary. Gaza knows what ‘temporary’ means: Decades of interim arrangements that never end, checkpoints that never close, and an occupation that has metastasized into permanence.
From the Sykes-Picot Agreement to the Balfour Declaration, Britain and its allies carved the Middle East into artificial states, installed sectarian governments, and called it order, creating conditions for the sectarian government of Israel born of partition and maintained through military dominance.
The fossilized thinking of Sykes-Picot and Balfour creeps along through the hoary pretense that the so-called civilized West must oversee the unstable East, through an insidious colonial mission repackaged as a twenty-first-century imperative.
A Tale of Two Leaders
Tony Blair and I stood on opposite sides of history.

Blair used his office to justify the invasion of Iraq. I used my position as a member of the United States House of Representatives to try to prevent it.
I was not a head of state, but I used every power in the congressional parliamentary playbook to challenge both Bush and Blair, including helping to mobilize millions of people against the Iraq war.
That contrast matters. The same governments that waged that war based on lies now want to place Tony Blair in charge of Gaza, as if the co-author of one tragedy could administer the cure for another.
What Real Peace Requires
The attempt to manage Gaza as an isolated province under international administration is the latest stage in a century of colonial containment. It mirrors the British Mandate’s logic; to stabilise through control, to promise independence while denying it in practice.
This is not a conflict between two equal sides. It is a prolonged occupation underwritten by Western arms and Western diplomacy. To speak honestly about peace in the Middle East is to confront that reality.
A real peace cannot be built upon partitions, blockades, and externally imposed governments. It must begin with the recognition of Palestinian sovereignty, not as a concession but as a right. It must mean the end of occupation, the dismantling of apartheid systems, and the restoration of equality under law.
Until the world is willing to face the full moral and historical truth of Palestine, every transition plan will simply be another name for domination of what was once a single, continuous homeland concertedly reduced to isolated fragments.
The land of Palestine exists as disconnected enclaves, each surrounded by military checkpoints, walls, and settlements built as instruments of control, in defiance of international law.
Gaza is sealed from the sea and air. The West Bank is carved into zones of occupation, each overseen by Israeli forces and illegal settlers. East Jerusalem is being erased through bureaucratic strangulation and displacement. What remains of Palestine is a patchwork of prisons, the deliberate outcome of a violent colonial system which makes mockery of self-governance.
Israel’s government, shaped by apartheid policies and militarised expansion, has created the instability it now claims to fight. It has normalised violence, dehumanised millions, and extinguished any hope for peace.
A transitional authority in Gaza is not meant to change that underlying reality. The true transition, from occupation to coexistence, from apartheid to equality must begin inside Israel.

Unrest in Azad Kashmir can be disastrous. Pakistan needs to learn from the situations in KPK and Balochistan.
This new Book Exposes Pakistan’s Exploitation of Azad Kashmir’s Resources.
London, UK 7 October 2025 A powerful new book by political analyst and author Dr Shabir Choudhry sheds light on the decades-long exploitation of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) by Pakistan. The Price of Occupation, Power to Pakistan and Darkness for Us: Facts about the Exploitation of Azad Kashmiri Resources is now available worldwide on Amazon.
Drawing on years of research, firsthand insights, and verified accounts, Dr Choudhry uncovers how Pakistan has plundered AJK’s electricity, water, minerals, forests, and financial deposits — enriching itself while leaving the local population in poverty and underdevelopment. The book documents cases of missing billions, lack of transparency, and deliberate disempowerment of Kashmiri communities.
“This is not just about resources; it is about dignity, justice, and the right of a people to decide their destiny,” says Dr Shabir Choudhry.
The book explores:
• How electricity generated in AJK powers Pakistan’s cities while local villages remain in darkness.
• The systematic looting of gemstones, coal, gypsum, and rare earth minerals.
• Billions siphoned through banks, zakat funds, and state property.
• The wider political strategy behind keeping AJK dependent and voiceless.
By combining sharp political analysis with hard evidence, The Price of Occupation challenges prevailing narratives and offers a fresh perspective on the Kashmir question.

You were Muslims? By Dr Shabir Choudhry
· You claim that your nation was created in the name of Islam.
· Yet we are not your jugular vein. Jinnah never said such a thing.
· By staging the drama of the "jugular vein," you violated the Standstill Agreement.
· You attacked us with the intent to occupy us.
· Dishonoured our women, abducted them, murdered our men, and looted with recklessness.
· Which verse of the Quran permits you to do all this in the name of Islam?
· Which book of Hadith allows you to break treaties? To kill innocent people?
· To abduct and sell their women?
· I won’t dwell on the atrocities you committed in Balochistan.
· Nor will I ask why you are killing people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with jet fighters.
· Because you’ll say it’s your "internal matter."
· I didn’t know that killing women, children, and men could be an internal matter.
· Israel claims what it does in Palestine is its internal matter, a security issue to protect Israeli children. They lie.
· Who gave you the right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?
· According to the August 1948 UN Security Council resolution on the Kashmir issue, you were supposed to withdraw all your forces from Jammu and Kashmir.
· Only then was India to withdraw the majority of its forces.
· You neither withdrew your forces, and because of that, there was no need for India to do so.
· By violating the Standstill Agreement and attacking us, you forced our Maharaja to seek help from India.
· Out of compulsion, he acceded to India.
· As a result of the war between the two nations, our homeland was forcibly divided.
· The oppression, injustice, violation of honour, and bloodshed caused by this forced division—you are equally responsible for it.
· We acknowledge your expertise in killing Muslims.
· You are the remnants of British India—your services ensured the British Raj’s hold over all of India.
· Whose hands are stained with the blood of Muslims in a united India?
· In the First World War, Arab Muslims’ blood was spilt.
· In the Second World War, Muslim blood stained your hands again.
· From the moment of its creation, Pakistan’s first attack was on the Muslims of Kashmir.
· The second attack on the Muslims of Balochistan.
· Which atrocities should I recount?
· Honestly, I could write more books on this.
· I have never been your facilitator, nor anyone else’s.
· I write what is best for Jammu and Kashmir and its people.
· If that angers you or anyone else, what can I do?
· My homeland is dear to me; my people are dear to me.
· You could call white, black, and many pawns would say, “Sir, you’re absolutely right.”
· What you did in East Pakistan—who held you accountable?
· You made Mir Jafar’s great-grandson a Major General in Pakistan’s army. No one challenged you.
· You made him Defence Secretary. No one opposed you.
· You made him Governor-General of Pakistan, and no one batted an eye.
· When he became Pakistan’s first President. No one opposed him.
· When, after nine years, Pakistan finally got a constitution, he dismantled its constitution and the assembly. What did you do?
· After this long prelude, all I want to say is:
· We acknowledge, you are powerful.
· We accept you are the master,
· The creator of this new Pakistan.
· But stop treating the people of Kashmir as slaves.
· We have discarded the lessons of Pakistan Studies.
· Our political consciousness has awakened.
· We don’t want war with you.
· But we cannot abandon our rights just to please you.
· The resources belong to us; you control them, and this, we cannot accept.
· These resources are meant for our children’s future, and we cannot sacrifice them to you or your facilitators.
· I’m certain you’re not angry with me.
· Because I’ve spoken the truth.
· If I were wrong, your anger would be justified.
· One final point—reflect seriously on these words.
· The people of Azad Kashmir are beginning to understand my words.
· They realise we are not free; Pakistan is also an occupier.
· Our resources belong to us, yet Pakistan controls them.
· If you treat us the way you treated people of East Pakistan, the outcome could be the same.
· The choice is yours, what you want to do.
