White House Pushes Ceasefire, Israel Bombs Anyway
Mainstream media dutifully reports another cycle: Israel bombs Gaza, claiming retaliation for killed soldiers, while the White House gently 'pushes' for the next phase of a ceasefire. This carefully curated narrative conveniently sidesteps Netanyahu's long-standing pattern of 'security operations' coinciding with diplomatic efforts, a tactic honed from 2002 to 2014, when similar 'retaliations'
derailed previous peace attempts. Meanwhile, politicians like Representative Steny Hoyer, who received over $100,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2024 (OpenSecrets.org), will likely echo the necessity of 'Israel's right to self-defense,' ensuring the perpetual flow of U.S. military aid. How many times must 'de-escalation efforts' be met with bombs before the media, and Washington, acknowledge they aren't
'efforts' but rather, a diplomatic charade? It seems the 'rules-based order' applies only to those who don't receive billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars and unchecked armaments. One might ask if the 'next phase of ceasefire' is simply the next phase of bombing.
