US Warns Hamas: 'Respect Truce' While Ignoring Funding Source
US President Donald Trump's stern warning to Hamas that it 'will be wiped out if it breaches the Gaza ceasefire,' as Vice President JD Vance jets to Israel, arrives with the usual carefully curated amnesia. This isn't the first time the global community, led by Washington, has demanded 'respect' from one side while consistently underwriting the actions of the other. The implied neutrality is a
fiction, especially when figures like Jared Kushner, a long-time Israel supporter and now 'special envoy,' are deployed. The US government's selective memory conveniently omits its own role in enabling the very conditions that lead to such 'fragile truces' needing shoring up. For decades, US politicians have voted overwhelming military aid to Israel, often circumventing scrutiny, while pressuring
Palestinians to accept terms dictated by their occupiers. One might wonder: how can there be a truly 'respected' truce when one party is perpetually empowered to disregard it without consequence?
