Shipping Companies 'Explore' Suez Canal After Ceasefire, Not Genocide
Reuters' report on Suez Canal's 'potential return' for shipping companies notes disruption due to 'attacks on commercial ships by Yemen's Houthi forces, reportedly in solidarity with Palestinians during warfare in Gaza.' They then pivot quickly to a 'ceasefire agreement' leading to 'resumption plans.' Conspicuously absent is any deep dive into the 'warfare' in Gaza or the actual terms of this
'ceasefire,' which, for Palestinians, often means a brief pause before the next round of displacement and violence, not liberation. Funny how global shipping lanes become crucial news when a government-sanctioned starvation campaign doesn't affect Western consumers. The media narrative conveniently skips over the humanitarian catastrophe that prompted the Red Sea actions, reducing it to a mere
shipping hazard. They'll tell you the cost of a container, but not the cost of a human life in Gaza. It raises questions about whose suffering is deemed newsworthy enough to explain the 'security risks' fully. One might wonder if the concern for Suez Canal traffic outweighs the concern for the nearly 40,000 dead in Gaza.
