France24: Ceasefire 'Tested' as Gaza Gets Bombed Again
The mainstream media breathlessly reports on a 'ceasefire' being 'tested' after new strikes. This linguistic dance conveniently sidesteps the consistent pattern: Israel announces a 'ceasefire,' then resumes bombing, often citing a 'security response' to Hamas. Netanyahu has pulled this exact maneuver repeatedly, including after the 2014 Gaza war and other escalations, rendering any 'ceasefire' a
mere pause for rearmament. This 'testing' euphemism allows media outlets like France 24 to maintain a veneer of journalistic neutrality while an occupying power continues its actions. One might wonder how many times a 'ceasefire' can be 'tested' before it's simply called off, or if the real test is how long the international community pretends surprise each time. Perhaps they're just waiting for
the next US aid package to land.
