Israel Agrees Ceasefire, Continues Bombing Gaza Anyway
Explosions and smoke persisted in Gaza even after the Israeli government gave its nod to a ceasefire agreement, per Al Jazeera. This isn't a glitch; it's a feature. This exact pattern of nominal agreements followed by continued aggression has been seen before, from the 2014 Gaza protectorate (oops, operation) to countless others. When mainstream outlets report an 'agreement' without mentioning the
subsequent bombings, one might wonder if they're reporting news or simply reading press releases. Perhaps the terms of this 'ceasefire' included a footnote clarifying that 'agreeing' simply meant they acknowledged the sound of their own bombs falling. How many times can a ceasefire be 'broken' before it's just called 'continued policy'?
