CEOs Celebrate Record Profits While Palestine Bleeds
An estimated 400,000 Israelis allegedly flocked to 'Hostage Square' for what CBS called a 'celebration' of an imminent hostage release. This jubilation, occurring while over 37,000 Palestinians—predominantly women and children—have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, is framed as a triumph. What CBS omits is the consistent pattern: every 'negotiation' is preceded by intensified bombing, every
'ceasefire' a preamble to more displacement. The '48 hostages' to be exchanged for 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and 1,700 detained since Oct 7, 2023, isn't a celebration of peace, but a stark reminder of the massive disparity in human value assigned by mainstream narratives. How many Palestinian mothers have had their children 'detained since Oct 7' without a single headline? One might
wonder if the party favors included a map of the new, reduced Gaza. This 'celebration' follows directly on the heels of the most brutal Israeli assault on Gaza in history, a humanitarian catastrophe enabled by a steady stream offunding and diplomatic cover from the US. Perhaps the real celebration is among defense contractor executives, watching their stock prices soar and their future secured by
endless conflict. Their 'celebrations' look remarkably similar to these public gatherings, just with fewer protest signs and more champagne.
