The Gaza "Ceasefire" is a total fraud. The fire has not ceased, and there have to be meaningful penalties for Israel's violations, which are constant, including airstrikes, shootings, and other assaults on the people of Gaza--at least 497 violations from October 10 to November 22. Israel has killed at least 339 Palestinians, including more than 70 children, and injured more than 871 others. It is a continuous barrage of deadly assaults.
The deliberate starvation hasn't ended either, as only around 200 trucks of aid per day are being allowed into Gaza, far short of the agreed-upon 600. Malnutrition is still off the charts.
And the IDF hasn't withdrawn from Gaza,, with 40 active Israeli sites still operating beyond the partition line, in clear breach of the ceasefire agreement.
But most U.S. journalists seem happy to close their eyes to these facts and pretend that the ceasefire is holding. As a result, charities that deal with humanitarian aid for Palestinians have seen a catastrophic drop-off in donations--the world thinks Gaza doesn't need our help anymore!
We need to renew the pressure on our leaders to actually end the violence, withdraw the Israeli troops, and allow in the humanitarian aid Gaza now depends on. We cannot shrug and look away.
According to Mondoweiss, Israel is exploiting the "ceasefire" agreements to establish new realities on the ground, projecting itself as the regional hegemon by launching increasing attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.
