As Trump scrambles to push his nebulous Gaza plan forward, the Palestinian resistance says Israel is continuing its pattern of abusing “peace” agreements to further its war of annihilation.
"What is happening in Gaza is not a ceasefire, but a lower intensity, slower-paced killing operation by an Israeli regime daring Palestinians to fight back."
Thanks for putting in simple terms the reality of this disaster intentionally mislabeled as a "ceasefire".
I'm also grateful that for the first time in my life I've been given a choice to hear what "the other side" has to say. Living in the US you get one monolithic narrative from the information brokers. Doesn't matter what your politics are, the tone of the message might differ, but the narrative remains the same - USA, wave your flags. Poor Israel. It's always poor, dear Israel. Arabs and Muslims, bad. Always.
So I just want to say thank you to Jeremy and Drop Site for giving us perspectives we otherwise wouldn't even know about, let alone consider.
@AnaG: may i ask, why "death to israel?" when there are israelis - in israel as well as abroad - who strongly oppose the israeli occupation, siege, ethnic cleansing and now genocide of palestinians.
imo, the int'l community should - decades ago! - have made sure that israeli occupation of palestinian territories remain temporary, pursuant to int'l law! the int'l. community also failed to prevent illegal israeli settlements from spreading ever further. israel was never held to account bc the int'l community ... i won't list the number of reasons for its failure to act.
i am appalled that my [EU] country still ships arms to israel, recently even at record level$, and i can only hope that my protesting against them - along with activists from palestine, israel and other countries - will one day, soon, effect changes in my country's policy bc we are sick to see that mass murder is being facilitated "in the name of [my] people"!
your comment ends with "end israel!", i.e on a different note than it started on. in his most recent book, 'israel on the brink. eight steps for a better future.' ilan pappe points out, and i quote from his publisher's summary:
"Israel is becoming a pariah state. Its worst enemy is not Hamas, but itself. [The author] paves a path out of the Jewish state, rooted in restorative justice and decolonization, including the return of refugees, the end of illegal settlements, building bridges with the Arab world. The future can be one of reconciliation, not endless war."
here's hoping that he is right! when i look at my country that takes pride in having come to grips and terms with its past, expansive - and expensive - arms supplies to israel, and rising right wing extremism, among other things, *sigh!*, tell me that not an insignificant number of people drew wrong conclusions from the country's holocaust and WWII past. there's still much work to do moving forward.
sorry for my rather lengthy comment! it looks as though i got carried away a bit ;-) but i do hope i was in no way offensive!
Thank you Jeremy and Jawa. The article is a timely summation. The genocidal "murder / theft machine" rolls onward and UN (UNRWA) gets little international support from warped governments to push crutial aid delivery into Palestine. The weather is worsening and hardship for those displaced, and those under seige and daily attack in Palestine and Lebanon continues under the worthless ceasefires. Keep up the top draw reporting that few are covering like DropSite. Resistance interviews / perspective is more enlightening than that of rows of Trump accomplices, imo. The final several paragraphs were worth the whole read.
Your comment suggests you think this conflict began in October 2023. It did not. It began in 1948, or one could plausibly argue it began even earlier, in 1917.

LONG LIVE THE RESISTANCE AND DEATH TO ISRAEL!
I WISH YOU ALL THE STRENGTH TO KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL YOU ARE FREE!
I AM YOUR BIGGEST SUPPORTER! LOVE YOU ALL AND WISH YOU THE BEST!
FREE PALESTINE! END ISRAEL!

If this was World War II and the Nazis were killing the Jews, would you be saying the same thing? Would you be upset if somebody said death to Nazis?
To get President Trump on thier side Hamas should promise to rename Palestine to Trumpestine.

Stand your ground, your soil composed of your flesh, your blood and your bone.
I wouldn’t call it resistance. The Palestinians deserve leaders that aren’t killers.

The leaders of the HAMAS resistance movement, are being assassinated by the leaders, of the genocidal US’s zionist proxy, in occupied Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
