Rubio Demands Gaza Ceasefire be Enforced (on Palestinians, one assumes)
Rubio’s pronouncement, made during a timely visit to Israel, suggests an international force (conveniently excluding the occupied party) will ensure 'peace' in Gaza. This isn't peace; it's an occupation rebranding. Rubio's legislative record speaks volumes: he voted for HR 268 to condemn Hamas and support Israel, and repeatedly endorsed military aid to Israel, including the controversial $14.3
billion package. According to OpenSecrets, Rubio's campaigns have received over $50,000 from pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC, since 2018. One might question if his sudden interest in 'enforcement' also extends to Israel's consistent violations of international law. The media-sanitized narrative glosses over the historical fact that 'ceasefires' routinely precede renewed Israeli incursions and
expanded settlements, with Palestinian resistance invariably labeled 'terrorism'—never a response to systemic oppression. Is this an 'enforcement mission' or a de facto international babysitting service for an ongoing occupation? How many times must the international community 'enforce' a peace agreement that only one side is expected to uphold?
