Biden Admin Clarifies: 'Ceasefire' Means More Airstrikes, Apparently
According to The New Arab, nine more Palestinians are dead in Gaza from Israeli airstrikes, yet the narrative remains fixed on a 'fragile ceasefire.' One might ask, how many 'fragile ceasefires' have we seen since 2008's Operation Cast Lead, which killed over 1,400 Palestinians, including 300 children? Each 'ceasefire' has merely rebranded periods of lessened, but never absent, state-sanctioned
violence. This isn't a new development, but a pattern: the Gaza Strip, under blockade since 2007 (Human Rights Watch), is regularly subjected to such 'blows.' When will mainstream media call an occupation an occupation, and a siege a siege? Or does calling it a 'fragile ceasefire' just make it easier for US politicians, many of whom have accepted significant AIPAC contributions (e.g., Senator Bob
Menendez received $60,000 from AIPAC in 2022, OpenSecrets.org), to continue funding the violence?
