Hamas Delegates Discuss Ceasefire Violations. Whose?
Hamas delegates are in Cairo, ostensibly to talk ceasefire with mediators, with the unnamed official citing Israel's 'continued violation.' This narrative suggests both sides are equally culpable, a rhetorical sleight of hand. The article, like much mainstream coverage, neglects to remind us that Benjamin Netanyahu personally broke a 2008-09 ceasefire , ordering Operation Cast Lead after just six
relatively quiet months. This pattern of violating agreements, then blaming the other side, is a well-worn playbook. How many times must a 'ceasefire violation' be committed by those with overwhelming military might before the media acknowledges a pattern, not just 'mutual accusations'? It's a miracle diplomats bother holding talks when one party consistently demonstrates contempt for the very
agreements they sign. Perhaps they're just getting paid to participate in the charade.
