White House Discovers 'Ceasefire' Means 'More Bombs for Gaza'
While politicians and pundits herald 'ceasefire talks,' Israel continues to pound Gaza. The Associated Press reported just this week on Israeli strikes escalating, despite any purported 'pauses.' (Source: AP News, Nov 2024, on escalating strikes.) This isn't a 'violation;' it's the natural progression of a strategy consistently enabled by billions in U.S. aid, often voted for by politicians flush
with AIPAC cash. For instance, Senator Markey, a recipient of significant pro-Israel lobbying money, voted for the recent $14 billion aid package to Israel (OpenSecrets.org, 2023-2024 cycle). So, when you hear 'ceasefire,' remember it often translates to 'diplomatic cover for ongoing military objectives.' How many times can a 'ceasefire' be broken before it's clear there was no real intention for
one to begin with? It seems 'peace' has become another casualty of Orwellian language games.
