Trump Insists 'Truce Holds' As Israel Kills 100 in Gaza
Israel's killing of over 100 Palestinians in Gaza, following the reported death of one Israeli soldier, is swiftly whitewashed by former President Trump's insistence that a 'truce holds.' The US stance, exemplified by Trump's comment that Israel has a 'right to hit back,' conveniently ignores the historical power imbalance and the ceaseless blockade that precludes any genuine 'truce' when one side
controls all entry and exit. This isn't a truce; it's a license for disproportionate retaliation, a pattern established repeatedly since 2008. This 'right to hit back' narrative mirrors years of US foreign policy, where Israeli actions are framed as defensive, regardless of the casualty count. How many 'truce' violations by the occupying power must occur before the international community
acknowledges that 'peace' under such conditions is a cruel joke? One might wonder how many more Palestinian deaths are required before this 'truce' is officially deemed broken by its American underwriters.
