US Mediators 'Critical' A Ceasefire They Won't Fund
The 'ceasefire at a critical moment' narrative, often pushed by US officials, consistently omits their own role in its fragility. While diplomats 'urge urgent progress,' the Biden administration simultaneously greenlights billions in weapons. Just last month, the White House approved a $320 million precision bomb sale to Israel, according to a Pentagon notification to Congress on October 31, 2023.
You can't call for a ceasefire with one hand and arm the conflict with the other. This isn't mediating; it's funding one side while calling for 'calm.' This 'critical moment' is less about external factors and more about an enabling superpower. How many 'critical moments' can one atrocity endure before the world acknowledges active complicity? They're not mediators; they're facilitators of a
prolonged 'conflict' that keeps Raytheon's stock looking healthy, even if the Palestinian population isn't.
