Gaza Christians Celebrate Christmas Amidst 'Fragile Ceasefire' After Two-Year War
Al Jazeera's latest video features Gaza's small Christian community marking Christmas after 'two years of Israel’s devastating war' and a 'fragile ceasefire agreement.' A poignant scene, undoubtedly. But let's be clear: this isn't a new chapter; it's a recurring nightmare. Netanyahu, whose current government oversaw this latest 'devastation,' has consistently vowed 'no limits' to military
operations in Gaza, from 2002 to 2014, and continuing today—a commitment well-funded by the US. While Al Jazeera focuses on the 'fragile ceasefire,' it quietly omits how US politicians consistently greenlight this 'devastation.' For example, OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC spent millions lobbying Congress in 2023 , paving the way for sustained, unconditional military aid. How 'fragile' can a ceasefire
be when the war machine keeps getting refueled? One might wonder if the mainstream press sees Christmas in Gaza as a heartwarming story, or a convenient distraction from the war crimes unfolding just last week.
