Israel Turns Down Ceasefire - And Netanyahu’s Streets Explode in Fury

Tel Aviv has seen the largest protests in Israel's history erupt as Netanyahu orders the army into Gaza City whilst Hamas agrees a ceasefire.

Right, so Israel has been handed what should have been a lifeline, what should have been the answer to want they said they wanted when they moved into Gaza under the auspices of rescuing their hostages, but which of course has been proven to have been an excuse and a lie; therefore instead of grasping this option put before them with both hands, they have instead chosen to wrap it around Gaza’s throat.

While Hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal brokered by Egypt and Qatar, offering a sixty-day pause, prisoner exchanges, and the staged return of hostages, Benjamin Netanyahu responded not with diplomacy but with artillery. On the very night that Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square heaved with half a million citizens demanding peace, tanks rolled into Gaza City’s Sabra district and families were buried alive beneath the rubble. Not so much forced displacement but an acceleration now of the genocide that has already horrified us all for the last 22 months.

What should have been a moment of relief and restraint became instead a declaration that peace itself is now the enemy. Netanyahu dismissed the demonstrators as traitors, spurned the mediators who had delivered a rare chance for de-escalation, and pressed ahead with what Israeli and international human rights groups alike all now call genocide. This is avoidable, deliberate Israeli policy.

It is the strategy of a regime that would rather burn than bend, prepared to sacrifice its own captives, who were never a priority and remain ever thus so. its credibility, and ultimately its claim to legitimacy in a single blaze of destruction that heralds so much worse to come. But will the world ever act to stop them, because this is not the behavior of a state that believes it will.

ABOUT ME:

Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on: https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly

I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that are associated with that living in Tory Britain - both blue Tories and red ones - and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.

This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
