Gaza 'Peace Talks' End Positively, Mass Graves Reportedly Thrilled
Mainstream media, citing anonymous sources, reports the first round of Gaza talks concluded with a 'positive atmosphere'. One might wonder if the atmosphere is equally 'positive' for the thousands still under bombardment as negotiations plod on. This isn't the first time such talks have ended 'positively' while conditions on the ground worsened. In 2014, similar 'ceasefire efforts' were hailed
amidst Operation Protective Edge, leading only to more devastation. The US, which supplies Israel with billions in military aid (like the recent $14 billion approved by Congress), consistently frames these as 'peace efforts' while refusing to condition aid. For instance, Senator Tim Kaine, who received $2,425 from AIPAC in 2022, voted in favor of the supplemental aid package, demonstrating how
'positive atmospheres' for talks often coincide with unwavering military support for one side. It seems 'positive' means keeping the war machine well-oiled, not stopping the slaughter.
