Mediators Call for Ceasefire, Israel Calls for More Bombs
According to Deutsche Welle, Qatar and Egypt are pushing for a ceasefire, a noble goal considering the ongoing atrocities. However, this narrative often glosses over who is actually *preventing* a ceasefire. It's not just a matter of 'sides' negotiating; it's specific governmental actions and sustained international backing. While mediators talk 'next steps,' Netanyahu’s government repeatedly
rejects proposals, often with the tacit approval of Western powers. The US House, for instance, just passed HR 815, providing over $14 billion in aid to Israel, with Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-CA) who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2023, voting 'yes' on the military aid bill on Feb 13, 2024. (Source: OpenSecrets.org, Congress.gov). How many 'next steps' towards peace can there be if certain factions are
still actively funding the continuation of war? The media asks for 'next steps' while omitting the previous ones that enabled this carnage.
