It looks like the Gaza ceasefire was meant to last just long enough to get through Trump’s inauguration. From Ohio Barbarian at ohiobarbarian.substack.com:
We are being played. Pay attention, especially if you are pro-Palestine.
Israel has already broken the ceasefire in Gaza while simultaneously launching a new ethnic cleansing campaign on the West Bank. Jenin was reduced to mostly rubble within just a couple of days.
Trump, meanwhile, said he had looked at a, as ina grand total of one, picture of Gaza, which “looked like a massive demolition site,” and then went on to gush about what a great location it is. See for yourself in this short BBC video.
Well, he is a real estate magnate, and he knows great beachfront property when he sees it.
In the same clip, Trump also said he was not confident that the ceasefire would hold, and that this wasn’t “our war.”
Somehow he forgot to explain why if it’s not our war we are arming Israel to the teeth with the one hand, and protecting it from the consequences of its actions as much as imperially possible with the other.
Now, think about everything else that has been going on over the last few days that has been the subject of nearly every political news site extant, including my own.
