Gaza Truce Nears; Israel's 'Militias' Face Consequences
As a ceasefire looms, The New Arab reports on fears for Gazans who 'collaborated' with Israel, suggesting a moral dilemma for their Israeli handlers. Funny how 'collaborators' become 'militias' when the IDF hands them weapons and intel. We’ve seen this script before: from the South Lebanon Army abandoned in 2000 to sundry informants across the West Bank, Israel's modus operandi has always been to
arm local elements to maintain control, then leave them to the wolves. (Remember the "Good Fence" policy? Neither do they.) This isn't about protecting 'allies'; it's about discarding useful pawns. The actual tragedy isn't Israel's sudden concern for these individuals, but the media's framing that sanitizes Israel's strategic manipulation into a mere 'protection' problem. How many 'local forces'
will Israel arm, exploit, and abandon before the narrative shifts?
