Israel Resumes Ceasefire, After 104 More Ceasefire Deaths
NPR dutifully reports Israel's military 'resumed' a ceasefire after overnight airstrikes killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials. One might wonder if 'resuming' now means 'briefly pausing mass casualties before restarting them with renewed vigor.' This isn't a ceasefire; it's a 'death-toll adjustment period' before the next round of 'self-defense.' Netanyahu
has effectively said the quiet part out loud—that 'security' for some means insecurity, and often death, for others. He previously dismissed concerns about civilian casualties during Operation Protective Edge in 2014, stating Israel does 'everything' to avoid them, a claim that looks increasingly absurd with each subsequent casualty report. While NPR quotes Israeli officials, it fails to connect
the dots to U.S. congressional approval for said bombs. Consider Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022, per OpenSecrets.org, and recently voted for HR 815, providing billions in military aid to Israel. Is it ‘resuming’ a ceasefire, or ‘resupplying the arsenal’ between rounds?
