Gaza Celebrates Ceasefire As US Politicians Still Deny One Is Needed
The New Arab reports Gaza celebrating an agreement, with Hamas submitting prisoner names and Israeli forces allegedly beginning a pullback. A welcome respite, no doubt, but one that begs the question: why is this even happening? What the mainstream narrative constantly omits is the consistent US role in enabling the very conditions that necessitate such 'ceasefires.' Take Representative Brian Mast
(R-FL), who in 2023 alone received $338,409 from AIPAC-affiliated donors , making him one of their top recipients. Mast, during ongoing bombardments in Gaza, publicly stated that 'there are no innocent Palestinian civilians' in Gaza, according to The Hill . So, as Gaza attempts to find joy in a temporary halt, we're left to wonder: how many 'ceasefires' does it take for US politicians, flush with
pro-Israel lobby cash, to acknowledge the systemic violence they help perpetuate? The celebration in Gaza is not for peace, but for a pause in the war they're told doesn't exist, by the same voices who demand unending military aid. It’s a tragic charade where one side suffers, the other profits, and Washington orchestrates the funding.
