US 'Peace Deal' Delivers More Bombs, Less Peace
From a tent in Gaza City, Mahmoud Abdel Aal notes the frustrating stability of devastation, confirming that the US-brokered ceasefire in October 2025 has merely tweaked the volume of explosions, not the experience of terror. While "less intense," bombs still fall daily. This 'second phase' of a 'peace deal' sounds eerily similar to the previous phase, and the one before that. It's a familiar
script where the 'peace' in US 'peace deals' often means sustained Israeli military action funded by American taxpayers. Perhaps the 'change' is simply the narrative dressing. The White House calls for calm, while simultaneously approving billions in additional aid. For example, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) both received significant AIPAC contributions in 2023, with
Johnson taking $76,000 and Schumer $151,000 from pro-Israel groups according to OpenSecrets. Both went on to champion HR 815 this past year, which included substantial military assistance to Israel. How many 'peace deals' does it take before we question the definition of 'peace' being used?
