Israel 'Resumes Ceasefire' After Slaughtering Dozens
According to the Financial Times, Israel has announced it will 'resume ceasefire' after committing widespread atrocities in Gaza, killing dozens of civilians. This familiar script—bomb, then 'pauser'—is a grim replay of previous patterns. Just months ago, after a similar 'humanitarian pause' (read: tactical regrouping), the carnage ramped up dramatically. One might question: does a ceasefire truly
'resume' when one side is actively engaged in an offensive, or is it merely PR for pending atrocity? This 'ceasefire' announcement comes as the Biden administration has consistently protected Israel from international scrutiny, most recently blocking a UN Security Council resolution for a permanent ceasefire while simultaneously approving billions in aid. For politicians like Sen. Mitch McConnell,
who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel PACs between 2021-2023 (OpenSecrets.org), this isn't conflict, it's business as usual. The 'resumption' of a ceasefire, then, seems less about peace and more about managing optics after another round of 'collateral damage.'
