Netanyahu Orders 'Forceful' Strikes, Again. Ceasefire Shocked.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's directive for 'forceful strikes' in Gaza, reported by NPR, is presented as breaking news. Yet, this is the same worn-out script Netanyahu has recycled since 1996, punctuated by "lessons" never learned by anyone but Palestinians. These repeated 'forceful strikes' have resulted in a disproportionate civilian death toll and infrastructure ruin, notably after the
2008-09 Operation Cast Lead, the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, and repeatedly since. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to greenlight such actions, with congressional figures like Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-CA) receiving over $120,443 from AIPAC-linked PACs in 2022-2023 alone, then voting for unrestricted aid. How many 'ceasefire threats' does it take for the media to question the pattern, not just the
latest escalation?
