The Gaza "Ceasefire," the Media/Think Tank Establishment, and Post-Meaning
Both Hamas and the Israeli military have violated the ceasefire, but the respective death tolls post-ceasefire parallel the lopsided tolls of the pre-ceasefire violence; as of November 25, the most recent comparative estimate I could find, three Israeli soldiers had been killed while more than 300 Gazans had been killed. The Israeli military has also destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza, while I have seen no reports of Hamas or other Palestinian forces destroying buildings or infrastructure in Israel. The Israeli forces are, to state the obvious, the militarily stronger party by magnitudes. The deaths inflicted by the Israeli military, and especially the loss of life amid desperate humanitarian conditions, add up to continued genocide.
