A few days ago, I was walking with a friend through the tents in al-Mawasi, southern Gaza. We were heading to a small cafe I have frequented since my roof became fabric.

The ground beneath us was mud, the winter air heavy, and the faces around us heavier still. We were talking about the formation of the US-led “Board of Peace”, in a phase of the so-called ceasefire that is supposedly defined by stability and reconstruction.

At that exact moment, the sound of an explosion tore through the air. We stopped talking, and I found myself asking: how is this a ceasefire? How can peace be declared while explosions still echo above our heads?

A ceasefire according to Israel means “You cease, and we fire”. Fucking liars, killers and demons.

It was interesting how media went totally silent (at least here) about Gaza just as they started their “ceasefire”. No matter what, violations didnt matter at all. Maybe israel shouldve just done that in the beginning and avoided all the bad publicity

They’ve done it like a dozen fucking times. The media “falls for it” every time.

We all knew they won’t simply stop genociding. They have to be stopped.
