US Media Wonders Why 'Ceasefire' Has Zero Actual Ceasing
An Israeli strike kills a Palestinian in Gaza, says The New Arab, noting that 'demolitions of residential areas and strikes...have continued despite a ceasefire agreement.' This isn't a glitch, it's the feature. For decades, 'ceasefire' has translated to 'temporary pause in full-scale Israeli offensive, while daily violence and land annexation continue unimpeded.' The media, meanwhile, frames it
as perpetual 'conflict' rather than ongoing occupation and systematic violence. While US outlets furrow brows over 'escalation,' they conveniently ignore the $3.8 billion in annual, unconditional military aid the US provides Israel. Congress members like Senator Ted Cruz, who took over $55,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs in 2022-2024 (OpenSecrets.org), consistently vote to greenlight these funds.
How many 'ceasefires' can be broken before we admit Washington isn't just enabling, but actively subsidizing, the 'attacks that continue'?
