Game On: Israel’s Version of a Ceasefire

Israel announced it was ready to resume the ceasefire in Gaza now that they’ve unleashed another round of heavy airstrikes at Prime Minister Netanyahu’s request. You know what this reminds me of? It’s an inappropriate comparison, but I’ll share it anyway. In the movie Wayne’s World, when Wayne and Garth are playing street hockey, they keep having to stop for passing cars and then get right back to it. “Game on! Game on!” Car! Car! “Game on! Game on!” That’s Israel’s version of a ceasefire. It’s Game On because they can’t stop bombing civilians but they’ll stop for the “car” which is diplomatic pressure, only to resume when the “diplomatic car” has driven on. Over 100 people were killed in Gaza this week alone and two more after Israel announced that it would resume the ceasefire. This ability to alternate between the Start and Pause button was never part of the deal that President Trump brokered and yet they do it with impunity. On Wednesday night, Vice President J.D. Vance was bombarded with questions about U.S. support for Israel at a Turning Point USA event. While he did not criticize Israel, he also did not try to sell the “greatest ally” line most politicians do. Perhaps that is a signal that the Trump administration knows this “peace deal” is making a fool of us all. The post Game On: Israel’s Version of a Ceasefire appeared first on Redacted.
