White House Clarifies: Truce is Just a Different Kind of Bombing
The mainstream outlets, bless their hearts, are carefully reporting on a 'truce' where the Israeli military managed to injure women and children with gunfire and strikes, as documented by MSF. This, after weeks of relentless bombing we were told was 'precision' and 'self-defense.' It appears 'truce' simply means fewer bombs, not necessarily fewer casualties. The Biden administration, which has
provided over $3.8 billion annually in military aid to Israel, seems to have no issue classifying this as a ceasefire. One might ask how many times the international community needs to rediscover that Israeli forces operate with minimal accountability, or why Congress keeps approving no-strings-attached aid. Does a 'pause' in violence suddenly make these casualties less tragic, or just more
convenient for Western diplomats to ignore?
