Peace was at hand. A draft truce agreement was consummated. It included ways to establish ceasefires in future flare-ups.
Israel abhors peace and stability. It depends on conflict and violence. Jabari was murdered to assure what was planned.
Killing him, a 12-year old boy, and others assured retaliation. Israel planned it that way. Hamas and other resistance groups responded defensively. Blame the victim followed.
Self-defense is inviolable under international law. Israel calls it terrorism. So do Western leaders and media scoundrels. They support lawless aggression and denounce defensive actions.
Israel and America benefit from conflict and violence. Both claim added justification for large-scale regional military readiness.
Peace and stability are easily attainable. Achieving them subverts imperial aims. Enemies are invented to stoke fear. Conflict follows. Victims are blamed.
The same destructive cycle repeats. Israel and Washington prioritize it. Middle East tensions are on the boil. Full-scale Gaza war looms. Others rage across the region.
Israel and America assure permanent conflict. A cycle of violence is perpetuated. Gaza now shares regional ground zero status with Syria. How this ends who knows.
