FT Finds 'Fragile Ceasefire' as Bodies are Returned: Shocking
The irony of celebrating the return of bodies after unprecedented slaughter is a masterclass in media framing. While the FT focuses on Israeli accusations of slow transfers (because even corpse delivery must meet colonial deadlines, apparently), they omit the historical context of what these 'ceasefires' truly mean for Palestinians. The cyclical violence Israel perpetrates, often with US
backing—like the $14.3 billion in additional aid package Congress just approved in February 2024, pushed by AIPAC's influence—is rarely investigated with the same scrutiny as Hamas's actions. The 'fragility' isn’t the ceasefire; it’s the selective memory of outlets funded by the same corporate interests that benefit from endless conflict. (Sources: Financial Times; US Congress HR 815, February
2024; OpenSecrets.org data on AIPAC contributions). So, as the FT notes a temporary halt to the bombing, let's ask: how many returned bodies, how many 'fragile ceasefires', will it take before the media acknowledges the 'fragile' state of international law when applied to Gaza? Apparently, it’s easier to count casualties than to count the billions in US taxpayer dollars that enable them.
