The Ceasefire Charade
The Ceasefire Charade
Israel plays a cynical game. It makes phased agreements with the Palestinians that ensure it immediately gets what it wants. It then violates every subsequent phase and reignites its military assault.

i truly hope trump's ceasefire deal holds; there's been too much violence and death and it needs to stop.
i also wish i didn't need to call it trump's ceasefire since its success would make it starkly clear how far in the wrong the democrats were when they insisted on enabling the genocide despite their words to the contrary.
democrats use "both sides" as bad faith argument to stop discourse; but with a genocide enabling mark in their column: it does A LOT to even out the karmic scales with republican ghoulishness.

I mean, and this is the tiniest goddamn scrap of credit they could possibly muster at the fuckin last minute, but wasn’t this the current admin’s work? The incoming trump admin can’t negotiate yet because they’re not in office

the qatari prime minister literally thanked trump's emissary, witkoff, by name for being the deciding factor when he anounced the deal of the cease fire on wednesday.
i don't doubt that the biden's administration did a lot of the work; but it was trump's emissary that knocked the ball over the net where the biden administration couldn't/wouldn't for the last year and a half. i too see the western legacy and social media lol @ trump for taking credit for it. look it up on non-western sources like al jazeera for yourself since all of the other americans won't.

As the incoming admin (and previous) Trump was able to use soft power to pressure Israel to agree to the ceasefire. The Biden admin has had at least the same, but in all likelihood much more, soft power throughout this entire process and failed to apply any genuine pressure on Israel. So much so that Israel refused the deal the US put forth as Israel's ceasefire deal and instead broke every 'red line' with no pushback.
The Biden admin has been 100% complicit in facilitating this genocide, both in supplying arms and international support. Not to say that Trump is any friend of Palestine. The Abraham Accords were completely disasterous for Palestinian emancipation and greatly emboldened Israel's Settler-Colonial ambitions

USA deserve no credit for a ceasefire to a massacre they’ve pumped billions of $ worth of weapons into.
