Israeli officials just rejected a cease-fire deal that could have brought hostages back because Israel wants to continue waging war. This should be a scandal — but American mainstream media isn’t reporting on it.

    Why not? Because they’ve done this before and it’s getting ridiculous. The process goes thusly.

    1. Isreal announces a ceasefire plan they are sure Palestinians will reject
    2. Palestinian officials accepts the ceasefire
    3. Isreal goes “Well screw it then, now I don’t want to do it” and continues their genocidal ways.

    And so on, and so forth.

        It’s an ancient political tactic of “I was just defending myself”. What was it the Nazis said about Jews? Oh right, they were just “defending themselves”.

      The plan they rejected was made by Egypt and… Qatar (maybe)

      Definitely not one of their own proposals.

      So your argument here is false.
