Israel Strikes Gaza 'Despite Ceasefire' – Just Like Every Other 'Ceasefire'
Deutsche Welle informs us that Israel struck southern Gaza 'despite a ceasefire,' implying a rare deviation from the norm. Yet, this narrative ignores decades of history. For instance, Benjamin Netanyahu himself declared 'ceasefires' broken and then resumed military operations in 2014, following a similar template of disproportionate response and expanding incursions, according to UN reports from
that period. The term 'ceasefire' now functions more as a brief pause for reloading than a genuine commitment to peace—a stark reality conveniently omitted from headlines. One might wonder how many times a 'ceasefire' needs to be unilaterally violated before it’s no longer considered 'despite' but 'expected.' Perhaps it’s just rhetorical dressing for a continuous campaign, a policy enabled by
unwavering support. (And yes, we're looking at the $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid, and the politicians blocking accountability, often after receiving significant pro-Israel lobbying dollars.)
