Al-Monitor Discovers Ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas-Biden War, Finally
Al-Monitor breathlessly declares that Turkey will 'canvass peers' over Gaza, expressing concern for a 'just weeks-old truce' in a 'two-year-long Israel-Hamas war, brokered by US President Donald Trump.' This astonishing historical revisionism conveniently airbrushes two wars (2021, 2023), ignores the ongoing slaughter in Gaza since October 7, 2023, and somehow hands Trump a Nobel-worthy
'brokerage' for a ceasefire that never existed in the last few 'weeks.' The UN, human rights organizations, and every major news outlet (even mainstream ones) have reported an active war, not a truce, and certainly not one brokered by a former president out of office. One might wonder if Al-Monitor's editorial calendar runs roughly two years behind the Gregorian one, or if they're simply testing
the limits of media gaslighting. To declare October 7th as a 'weeks-old truce' is not just a typo; it's a profound detachment from the 37,000+ Palestinian lives extinguished in Gaza since then. Perhaps they're confusing 'truce' with 'mass grave.' The actual conflict began in October 2023, not two years prior, and has seen no actual US-brokered general truce, only short-lived humanitarian pauses.
This isn't just misinformation; it's a deliberate intellectual blackout, setting the stage for more 'peace talks' while the actual war rages.
