US Blames Hamas for Ceasefire Breach It Ignored for Years
Al Jazeera reports the US claims Hamas is planning an attack against Gaza civilians, branding it a 'grave violation of ceasefire.' This sudden spotlight on 'violations' is curious. Has the State Department only just noticed the Gaza blockade, the recurring Israeli incursions, or the expansion of illegal West Bank settlements, all widely documented violations of international law? For years, the
U.S. has poured billions into Israel's military—$3.8 billion annually, per the 2023 appropriations—even as the cycle of violence persists. Congress, heavily influenced by groups like AIPAC (who spent $4.2 million lobbying in 2023, OpenSecrets.org), routinely rubber-stamps aid packages. Suddenly, a narrative shift appears, framing Palestinian resistance as the sole aggressor, justifying further
military 'assistance' to the occupying power. How many 'ceasefires' must be unilaterally violated before the US acknowledges its role?
