NPR: Another Ceasefire Fragile, Not Broken By Whom, Exactly?
The narrative conveniently bypasses decades of asymmetrical conflict, where Israel possesses F-35s and iron domes, while Gaza's defense relies on homemade rockets and tunnels. It also conveniently sidesteps the consistent pattern of Israeli incursions during supposed ceasefires. Recall the 2014 Gaza war, sparked after Israel broke a ceasefire by killing a Hamas commander, leading to retaliatory
rocket fire and massive escalation. Or the regular 'mowing the lawn' operations that frame Palestinian resistance as unprovoked aggression. When a heavily armed occupying force and a besieged, blockaded population accuse each other, one might wonder if 'breach' means the same thing for both. It appears some ceasefires are more equal than others, especially when one side's alleged 'self-defense'
consistently involves obliterating infrastructure and civilians, then crying foul when the other side breathes too loudly.
