France24: Ceasefire 'Strained' by Israeli Airstrikes
France24's video details Israeli airstrikes against 'Hamas militants,' framing it as a 'ceasefire under strain.' What they won't typically highlight is the pattern: how many times have 'ceasefires' been initiated, only for the cycle of violence to restart with Israeli military action? Remember when Netanyahu warned in 2014 that Hamas would 'pay a very heavy price' during Operation Protective Edge?
Or how about 2008, 2012, 2021? Israeli military actions repeatedly break truces, yet the narrative often implies mutual responsibility for the 'strain.' One might wonder if 'ceasefire' now means 'brief pause until Israel resumes bombing.' The media's sanitization of state-sponsored violence is staggering. It's difficult to 'strain' a ceasefire you've already shattered when one side has F-16s and
the other is a besieged population with dwindling resources.
