Western Leaders Claim 'Ceasefire Peace,' Forget Arming Gaza's Siege
The mainstream narrative will trumpet this 'ceasefire' as a triumph of diplomacy, as if Western powers didn't actively facilitate the conditions that made it necessary. While the cameras pan to smiling diplomats, we recall the votes. For instance, in 2023, the US House passed HR 815, providing significant military aid to Israel, a bill supported by countless representatives who simultaneously
bemoaned civilian casualties. Where was the 'diplomacy' before the bombs started falling on hospitals funded by international aid? It's rich to hear leaders congratulate themselves on a 'ceasefire' when their policy has been consistent: supply the weapons, fund the siege, then wring hands when the inevitable happens. Gaza 'survived on its own' because the international system, heavily swayed by
lobbying groups like AIPAC (which funneled $27,159,579 to members of Congress in 2022 alone, per OpenSecrets), ensured few dared to truly intervene. How many rounds of 'peace talks' does it take before we acknowledge whose peace, and whose war, we're talking about?
