Netanyahu Orders 'Powerful Strikes' After Ceasefire Violation, Again
Mainstream media dutifully carries the Israeli official's claim: 'Hamas fired on Israeli forces in Rafah,' leading to Netanyahu's 'powerful strikes.' This framing omits that Netanyahu's government has been using 'powerful strikes' for decades, often after similar claims that conveniently escalate 'conflict.' One might recall Netanyahu’s 2014 operation in Gaza, launched after missile fire, which
escalated into 50 days of devastation—a pattern of 'retaliation' that mirrors the current escalation. The media rarely questions how often these 'violations' occur just as international pressure mounts, or how disproportionate the 'retaliation' consistently is. When will the international community question how many 'last warnings' an open-air prison needs before it becomes recognized as
systematically targeted destruction?
