It is hard to celebrate a ceasefire for Gaza when Palestinians are being killed and have no access to food, water, medicine, or shelter. Is this really a ceasefire?
HOW IS ISRAEL IN CONTROL OF GAZA?
HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?
HOW CAN AN ILLEGAL COLONIAL ENTITY CONTROL THE FLOW OF AID AND THE CONDITIONS OF THE CEASEFIRE?
Moments like these truly highlight how international law is only applicable when western powers want them to be applicable. There are no leaders condemning or decrying Israel’s continual airstrikes and shooting of innocent Palestinians or that Israel has closed down the Rafah crossing so that aid cannot enter Gaza.
ISRAEL SHOULD NOT CONTROL BORDER CROSSINGS BECAUSE IT IS AN ILLEGAL SETTLER ENTITY THAT HAS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY OVER THE SOVEREIGN STATE OF PALESTINE.
What blows my mind on top of all of these horrors, is the lack of action from the UN and the international community STILL. This continued impotency is disgusting because these countries and international agencies do have the power, they simply do not have the guts to stand up to the US who is still bullying the world into silence and submission so that Israel can carry out their genocide.
Has Israel kept the ceasefire with Lebanon? No.
And because of these actions, Israel should face real consequences from countries and international institutions but they do not take any action but remain silent while the Lebanese are terrorized and murdered, just like they are silent as Palestinians are terrorized and murdered.
Israel is testing the water right now to see how the world reacts when they break their ceasefire with Gaza because they are looking for a ploy so they can continue airstrikes and ground assaults in order to annex Gaza completely. Once all of the bodies and Israeli soldiers are sent back to their colonial settlement, Israel will continue the genocide.
Trump stated that if Hamas does not adhere to the ceasefire, “We’re going to eradicate them if we have to.” Trump is setting the stage for Israel to begin full-scale attacks again. Hamas did not break the ceasefire, it has been Israel and always has been Israel in breaking of ceasefires with any opposing state they have negotiated peace with but what Trump and western media are doing is painting the picture that Hamas is the one behind the breakdown of peace. Israel claims that 2 soldiers were killed by Hamas but they were killed when their military vehicle hit a land mine left behind by Israel (see articles below for more information).

It is up to us, the people, to keep fighting for a free Palestine. There are some absolutely amazing activists who have not stopped advocating for Palestine and human rights. Let’s all follow their lead.
All of the pro-Palestine protests have proven that there is unity on the left and are a crucial means of exercising the First Amendment right to free speech which is being challenged daily by the fascists in power. Protests aside, we have to do more, and that more is a strike. The lesson to learn from the No Kings protests is that the fascists in power are unfazed with rallies and speeches, even with the large numbers, because Trump’s response was to create an AI video where he shit on protesters. What will actually impact fascists and have an effect is a global strike. You want to destroy Trump’s crown? Then do not give him or his donors your money or labor and strike because that is how you dethrone a money hungry despot.
Even if the ceasefire is successful and Israel ceases airstrikes and ground assaults, the actual ceasefire deal does not create a free Palestine but a Palestine run by an illegitimate group of war criminals.
Palestinians deserve peace.
Palestinians deserve justice.
Palestinians deserve their human rights protected and upheld.
Fight for Palestine.
Strike for Palestine.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
