Gaza Truce Talks: How Many 'Last Chances' Does Genocide Get?
When Netanyahu's government — not 'Israel' — sends negotiators, it's worth recalling previous 'truce' periods: 2008-09, 2012, 2014, 2021. Each ended with more death, more displacement, and more land grabs. While the current reports of a potential agreement offer a flicker of hope, this isn't a negotiating table; it's a holding pen for a long-suffering population. The current talks conveniently
distract from the Biden administration's recent approval of $14 billion in military aid to Netanyahu, pushed through Congress by politicians like those who received millions from AIPAC. This 'truce' narrative allows media to ignore that one side has F-35s and carte blanche from Washington, while the other faces open-air prison conditions and starvation. How many 'peace talks' does it take before
we acknowledge that one party isn't interested in peace, but rather in perpetual siege?
