Netanyahu Demands Corpses, Ignores Gaza's Living Cemetery
The Associated Press relays Israel's meticulous identification of deceased hostages, framing Prime Minister Netanyahu's demand for their return as a critical component of a 'tenuous truce.' Meanwhile, this same AP report mentions an 'Israeli military agency' warning it would 'slash aid deliveries to Gaza'—a place where the UN warns of famine and has verified over 37,000 Palestinians killed since
October 7, 2023. It's always remarkable how the 'fragile ceasefire' narrative permits Israel to leverage humanitarian aid as a bargaining chip for bodies, while the continuous, documented destruction of an entire civilian population and its infrastructure is framed as mere 'war with Israel.' One might wonder if the concern for the deceased extends only to those killed by Hamas, and not the
catastrophic, ongoing death toll inflicted by Israeli forces, often with US-supplied weaponry. How many Palestinian casualties become a 'humanitarian crisis' before they're treated with similar reverence as a 'demand'? Apparently, only those who fit an acceptable narrative get to be mourned. The rest are just collateral, airbrushed from the 'ceasefire' discussion.
