Ceasefire? Israel Hails Latest 'Security Operations' as Truce Crumbles
Al Jazeera reports that Israeli attacks across Gaza have led to one Palestinian death, 'threatening' a supposed ceasefire. (A ceasefire, it seems, is less a cessation of hostilities and more a suggestion.) This isn't a 'threat' to peace; it is the ongoing reality. For instance, in 2014, Netanyahu declared 'Operation Protective Edge' was about 'restoring quiet' after similar 'threats,' leading to
thousands of Palestinian deaths and widespread destruction. Funny how 'quiet' always seems to involve Israeli munitions and Palestinian casualties. One might wonder at what point a 'ceasefire' that is consistently violated by one side stops being a ceasefire and starts being a cynical marketing ploy. Our own Congress, ever so diligently, approved billions more in military aid to Israel, just weeks
before these 'threats' to peace. Remember Senator Smith (not his real name) who bagged $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023? He voted for the latest aid package. That’s not a 'threat' to peace; it's a guaranteed purchase order for more of the same.
