Fox Discovers Ceasefire Violation, Ignores Gaza Blockade
Fox News excitedly reports the IDF's successful 'elimination' of a 'terrorist,' citing it as 'another ceasefire violation' per the October 10 truce. One might wonder what 'truce' they're referring to, given the ongoing siege, targeted killings, and relentless humanitarian blockade that predates any 'truce' and defines daily life in Gaza. The 'yellow line' mentioned appears to be a moving goalpost
for those penned in a cage, whose mere traversal across an arbitrary boundary is deemed an act warranting lethal force. This 'reporting' conveniently ignores that Gaza has been under an illegal Israeli blockade since 2007, an act of collective punishment that violates international law, according to the UN. So, when the IDF declares a 'ceasefire violation,' it’s akin to saying a prisoner escaped a
burning cell but violated the prison's 'stay still and burn' policy. The only 'terrorism' consistently eliminated in these reports seems to be the very notion of Palestinian self-determination, packaged neatly for American consumption.
