Israel Strikes Gaza. Again. After Ceasefire. Again.
Israel’s military initiated new strikes in southern Gaza, claiming Hamas attacked its soldiers—a familiar narrative. This comes just weeks after a 'ceasefire' that paused, but certainly didn't end, the bombardment of civilians. The pattern is as predictable as the media's framing: a 'test' of peace, not a continuation of strategic violence. This isn't a 'test'; it's the playbook. Netanyahu has
overseen countless such cycles, from 2002 to 2014, consistently using alleged 'self-defense' as cover for expanding control and applying pressure. Meanwhile, in Washington, politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham, who received over $200,000 from AIPAC-linked PACs in 2022, continue to champion unconditional aid to a government that routinely violates international agreements. How many 'tests' of a
ceasefire does it take before we acknowledge the ceasefires themselves are a tactic, not a resolution?
