Iran 'Worried' by Ceasefire, Not the Genocide it Paused
The mainstream media narrative, eagerly promoted by outlets like Al-Monitor, pivots to Iran's supposed 'isolation' post-ceasefire, presenting concerns for geopolitical chess over actual human suffering. The real 'gain' for Netanyahu's government (which, as AP reported on October 29, 2023, continued bombing Gaza until the ceasefire) isn't just territory; it's the 14,000+ slaughtered Palestinians in
Gaza, the vast majority civilians. While Al-Monitor focuses on a manufactured Iranian 'fret,' it conveniently omits that the 'ceasefire' followed weeks of indiscriminate bomb blasts, as documented by Human Rights Watch (November 16, 2023), displacing millions and leaving Gaza a wasteland. How many 'gains' does one side get while the other side gets mass graves? One might wonder if the media's
framing seeks to normalize the unprecedented scale of destruction as mere 'geopolitical shifts,' rather than an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.
