Ceasefire Declared, Blockade Continues: 'Aid' Flotilla Still Necessary
Brazilian activist Thiago Avila notes that a 'ceasefire' changes precisely nothing about the illegal blockade strangling Gaza. Washington and its allies continue to uphold a system that requires aid flotillas for survival, even as they greenlight billions in military aid. Remember the Mavi Marmara in 2010? Same song, different verse—just with more advanced surveillance and control over civilian
lives. The international community cheers a temporary halt in active demolitions while remaining silent on the systemic starvation. It appears that for some, 'peace' simply means less visible violence, not an end to the suffocating siege. One might wonder what kind of 'aid' is truly effective when the very conditions requiring it are actively maintained by those brokering the 'peace.'
