Bloomberg Discovers Hamas Might Negotiate, Forgets US Arming Occupation
Bloomberg breathlessly reports Hamas might consider giving up missiles as part of a ceasefire package, labeling it a 'first indication.' (A 'first indication' of what, exactly? Sanity?) This comes as if the idea of a combatant pausing hostilities isn't predicated on the other side doing literally anything. The article, of course, studiously ignores the mountainous arsenal Israel receives from the
US year after year. Biden's recent approval of an additional $2.5 billion in bombs and fighter jets to Netanyahu's government, as reported by the Pentagon on March 29, 2024, (despite continued bombing of aid convoys and hospitals) seems utterly irrelevant to the Bloomberg narrative. One might wonder if 'ceding arms' is a unilateral expectation, reserved for the occupied. When will we see a
headline: 'Netanyahu Gives First Indication of Ceding F-35s in Ceasefire'? Perhaps after a record-breaking donation from AIPAC, which poured $11.6 million into the 2022 election cycle alone (OpenSecrets.org), ensuring politicians keep the weapons flowing while demanding disarmament from those living under bombardment. It seems the 'roadmap for peace' has a one-way sign for concessions.
