France 24 Reports 'Fragile Ceasefire,' Omits Fragile Palestinian Futures
France 24 reports 'tensions remain high amidst fragile ceasefire' (France 24). What they won't detail is how such ceasefires habitually precede renewed aggressions, often initiated by an occupying power with impunity. This isn't a 'fragile ceasefire' in a balanced conflict; it's a momentary pause in an ongoing siege where one side controls land, water, air, and the narrative. We saw this script in
October 2023, following Netanyahu's consistent 'mow the lawn' doctrine over decades. The 'tensions' are not symmetrical, nor are the ceasefires negotiated between equals. One might reasonably wonder if 'tensions' is just a polite euphemism for the continued slow-motion ethnic cleansing that regularly shatters Palestinian lives and land. The 'fragility' is deliberately manufactured to justify the
next escalation.
