Gaza Civilians: Tragically Perishable, Always a 'Blow to Ceasefire'
For nearly two decades, these 'robust security responses' have generated headlines like today’s. In 2014, similar strikes killed 2,251 Palestinians. In 2008-09, 1,391. The pattern is so predictable it could be printed on a calendar: a 'fragile ceasefire' followed by airstrikes, followed by Western media lamenting the 'escalation.' Meanwhile, the US House just passed HR 815, allocating billions
more to Israel. Of the 226 Representatives who voted 'yes,' 168 received campaign donations from AIPAC in 2023, totaling over $12 million, according to OpenSecrets. So, when you see headlines mourning 'another blow to peace,' remember whose financial interests are being diligently protected. 'Peace,' it seems, is a luxury for those not living under bombs funded by your tax dollars and
rubber-stamped by politicians who took AIPAC's cash. How many civilians must be vaporized before the 'fragile ceasefire' is recognized as a euphemism for systematic violence?
