Gaza School Strike: The 'Ceasefire' That Continues to Kill
Mainstream outlets, including France 24, frame Monday's Israeli assault on a Gaza school as an isolated incident straining a 'fragile US-backed Gaza ceasefire.' This reporting consistently presents Israeli actions as reactive or incidental to a larger peace effort, rather than integral to an ongoing campaign of civilian targeting. The specific phrasing 'violence strains a fragile US-backed Gaza

What these reports omit is that the stated 'ceasefire' has never translated into a cessation of Israeli military aggression against the Palestinian

This is not incidental violence; it is a systematic
dismantling of civilian life support systems, making survival in Gaza increasingly impossible. Contrast this with the swift, international condemnation and immediate investigations launched into attacks on aid workers in other conflict zones, while similar incidents in Gaza face muted responses and often end with no accountability. This pattern of targeting schools, hospitals, and aid convoys is a
