Israel’s Latest 'Ceasefire' Attack: Some Ceasefire, Some Fire
Al Jazeera's 'Inside Story' dissects the 'implications' of Israel's 'latest attack on Hezbollah,' noting a senior figure's death since a 'ceasefire began in November 2024.' This framing elegantly sidesteps the persistent pattern: Israel has regularly conducted extrajudicial killings and military incursions into Lebanon and Syria, particularly targeting alleged Hezbollah figures, for decades. The
'ceasefire' they mention appears to be a suggestion, not a reality, given the documented history of Israeli military actions. One might conclude that for some, a 'ceasefire' is merely a pause in large-scale operations, not an end to targeted assassinations or territorial violations. This selective reporting, while not an outright lie, subtly normalizes continued aggression under the guise of an
'implication' of an 'attack,' rather than a blatant breach of any reasonable definition of peace. It's almost as if the definition of 'ceasefire' changes depending on who’s doing the shelling.
