My latest piece on Ceasefire in Public Square Amplified
I wrote about how the US failure to achieve ceasefire is both unsurprising, and a distraction from the real problem.
A ceasefire can’t dismiss the history of land theft and occupation. A ceasefire cannot absolve murder. A ceasefire cannot cleanse those of us, citizens of countries that are sponsoring this human horror with our tax dollars. It cannot bring a right to return to stolen lands. Stolen first by Jewish militias, then by the Israeli Army, and now “officially” stolen by the Israeli government, with tacit approval by Israeli courts. A ceasefire may bring a brief reduction of the noise of bombs, and the screams, and then silence, that follow, but cannot end this long war.
How has the United States been so wrong about a Ceasefire in Gaza?
