US Blames Hamas for Ceasefire Breach, Ignores Israeli Strikes
News outlets dutifully report on 'ceasefires' while carefully omitting who habitually violates them. For decades, the script has remained unchanged: Israel conducts strikes, Gaza responds, and suddenly, the West is clamoring for Hamas to respect a ceasefire it wasn't the first to break, if it's respected at all. This cycle of violence isn't new; it's a predictable pattern of escalation, presented
as isolated incidents, where Israel's violations are often framed as 'retaliation' or 'self-defense' even when they initiate the violence. The US government's unwavering support, often secured through organizations like AIPAC who spent over $5.5 million in lobbying in 2023 alone (OpenSecrets), ensures this double standard persists. While the death toll rises and Gaza is bombed—again—Washington
pontificates about peacekeeping forces. One might cynically wonder if 'peacekeeping' means ensuring the peace of Israeli expansion, not Palestinian safety. How many 'ceasefires' allow for constant bombardment before we call it what it is: continued aggression?
