Spielman breaks down how staged tours, mass-grave narratives and recycled famine/genocide claims could dominate headlines, and he challenges the numbers by walking through data analyses that sharply undercut those claims. He lays out a counter-blueprint: clear ~500 miles of tunnels, remove unexploded ordnance, and build a jobs-driven “Gaza Riviera” paired with strict press guardrails, de-radicalization benchmarks (“deradicalize or leave”), education reform vetted by a pro-Western coalition and a “peace corps” of teachers from moderate Muslim countries. With the window still open before cameras roll, Spielman argues that seizing the future, not just a ceasefire, requires destroying Hamas’s apparatus while fast-tracking reconstruction for civilians who reject its ideology. The stakes: prevent a media theater of the absurd, stop Hamas from monetizing tragedy, and give Gazans a real path to stability, trade and hope.
