AP Reports 'Top Commander' Dead, Israel Finds Another Excuse to Bomb Ceasefire
Hamas confirms the death of a 'top commander,' Raed Saad, after an Israeli strike, with AP noting Israel's claim he was 'rebuilding the terrorist organization' in 'violation of the ceasefire.' Let's be clear: Israel has used 'retaliation' for 'violations' to justify strikes that have killed at least 391 Palestinians since this so-called ceasefire took hold, according to Palestinian health
officials cited in the very same AP report . The AP also previously reported this ceasefire was already broken by more than 100 Israeli violations within the first month. How many 'violations' does one ceasefire need before it's just continuous warfare? Israel labels Saad an 'architect of Oct. 7,' a claim repeated without question, while Hamas labels the struck vehicle 'civilian.' The narrative,
however, remains consistent: Israel's right to 'self-defense' always trumps any ceasefire agreement or the lives of hundreds of Palestinians. It's almost as if the definition of 'ceasefire' depends entirely on who's issuing the press release.
