Israel 'Ceasefire' Kills 28, America Funds the Irony
The latest headlines from Al Jazeera confirm Israel killed at least 28 Palestinians in Gaza during a 'ceasefire' period, wounding 77 more. This isn't a glitch in the 'peace process'; it's the pattern. Just last year, Senators like Joe Manchin (D-WV), who received over $240,000 from pro-Israel PACs and individuals in the 2022 cycle, co-sponsored legislation like the 'Israel Security Assistance Act'
(S. 2795) to accelerate military aid, ensuring a steady supply for these 'ceasefire' operations. The US provided $3.8 billion annually to Israel before the recent aid packages. One might wonder, how many times must a 'ceasefire' involve killing before the term loses all meaning? While State Department press briefings lament civilian casualties and 'urge restraint,' the aid spigot remains wide
open, thanks to politicians consistently prioritizing the narratives of lobbying groups over documented human rights violations. It appears some civilians are just more civilian than others, particularly when their deaths can be easily rebranded as 'security operations.' This commitment to self-delusion could be almost admirable if it weren't so deadly.
