Rubio to 'Shore Up' Gaza Ceasefire, After US Armed Both Sides
US Secretary of State Rubio's trip to Israel is presented as a diplomatic mission to stabilize a truce. This trip conveniently follows the International Court of Justice ruling that Israel hasn't substantiated its claims against UNRWA, a detail the mainstream glosses over. The deeper truth is the United States isn't an impartial broker; it's the primary supplier of the very weapons creating the
conflict. For instance, in 2023 alone, the US pushed through significant military aid packages to Israel, with many politicians, like Rep. Rubio himself, having a history of receiving substantial campaign donations from groups like AIPAC. One might wonder how many 'ceasefires' a region needs before it stops being called a conflict and starts being called a deliberately sustained catastrophe. The
US, with one hand, offers 'peace talks' while with the other, it delivers the munitions. It's less about shoring up a ceasefire and more about shoring up the military-industrial complex that profits from the endless 'fragility.' How many times must this cycle repeat before the media dares to connect the dots between US arms sales, political donations, and ongoing humanitarian crises?
