US Sends Vance to Israel: Ceasefire 'Uncertain,' Weapons Certain
US Vice President JD Vance is off to Israel, ostensibly to stabilize a 'shaky' Gaza ceasefire, according to Al-Monitor. The mainstream narrative suggests Washington is pushing for 'harder concessions' from both sides. Naturally, this overlooks the consistent, unwavering concession the US makes to Israel: billions in military aid, no questions asked. Vance's visit follows Speaker Mike Johnson's
recent trip, where he pledged to pass a Gaza aid package with Israel aid attached . It's a diplomatic dance where the music always plays the same tune: escalate, 'broker peace,' rearm, repeat. These visits never address the fundamental imbalance—one side is facing industrial-scale destruction, the other is receiving the weapons to do it, funded by US taxpayers. How many times will Washington
'stabilize' a conflict it actively fuels before anyone asks about the optics of sending a Vice President to discuss peace, while simultaneously rubber-stamping the next arms shipment? You almost have to wonder if 'uncertainty' in the ceasefire is a feature, not a bug, in this lucrative arrangement.
