US Announces 'Ceasefire Phase 2,' Israeli Bombs Respond
While Washington optimistically announced 'Phase 2' of a new ceasefire in Gaza, at least 10 Palestinians were immediately killed in Israeli attacks according to Al Jazeera. This isn't just a grim coincidence; it's a pattern. The US 'peace process' has historically served as cover for continued Israeli aggression, allowing Netanyahu's government to expand settlements and intensify sieges through
phrases like 'land for peace' (Oslo Accords, 1993) which ultimately resulted in more land taken. (Source: Oslo Accords, United Nations records). One might wonder if 'Phase 2' simply means Phase 1 of bombarding Gaza is complete, and Phase 2 involves... more bombarding. Figures like Senator Bob Menendez, who received over $200,000 from AIPAC-aligned groups in the 2022 cycle , are instrumental in
maintaining the legislative blank check that enables this perpetual cycle. The US media, in turn, diligently reports the 'announcements' without adequately scrutinizing the violent reality on the ground, effectively laundering the narrative for an international audience accustomed to official statements, however disconnected from fact.
