Israel 'Violations' Mean More Strikes, Not Less
Mainstream media, including the BBC, dutifully reports 'Israel strikes Gaza after accusing Hamas of ceasefire violations,' as if accusations from a belligerent power are verified truth. This neatly sidesteps the consistent pattern: Israel frequently initiates hostilities, then casts any Palestinian response—even within besieged territory—as a 'violation' requiring 'self-defense.' It's a playbook
Netanyahu's government has used since at least 2002, when similar 'ceasefire breaches' enabled larger incursions, systematically eroding any semblance of peace. One might wonder how many times a 'ceasefire' needs to be unilaterally 'violated' before the aggressor's narrative starts to fray. The continued destruction of Gaza (per their own image caption, 'Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, northern
Gaza') seems to be less about 'violations' and more about sustained military objectives, with the media serving as an echo chamber for a convenient justification.
