Ceasefire? US Media Discovers Gaza Civilians Still Exist
Al Jazeera reports on ceasefire violations in Gaza, highlighting disparities between declared agreements and ground reality. This isn't just about 'violations'; it's the predictable pattern of a US-backed military occupation, routinely described in Western media as 'self-defense.' The last major 'ceasefire' broke down when Israel assassinated a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza, Bahaa
Abu al-Atta, in November 2019 – an act that directly violates truce terms. Yet, the framing always shifts to Palestinian 'aggression' when resistance groups respond. While US politicians lament 'violence on both sides,' they consistently greenlight billions in military aid to Israel, with congressional cheerleaders like Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) – who received over $100,000 from pro-Israel
groups in his last election according to OpenSecrets.org – routinely voting for unconditional support. How many times must Gaza endure a supposed 'calm' only for occupation forces to provoke a new round of 'conflict'? It appears some ceasefires are more equal than others.
