I never trusted the ceasefire in Gaza to begin with, but was glad that at least the hostages were freed, and the Palestinian prisoners were released home. But Israel never keeps a ceasefire. They always break it with attacks that somehow don't count to international peace negotiators. There's no way to stop this shit until they actually get rid of Netanyahu and someone imposes actual consequences on Israel for being a rogue state that does whatever the hell it wants to do.
Look at what they did to Greta Thunberg for being in the flotilla, and wonder how much worse it is for non-famous people they torture and kill. People who have no access to the media.
No doubt Trump and his fucked up State Department will be as incompetent about this resumed war as they are about Ukraine. They only got this ceasefire in the first place because Biden's administration had been negotiating it before, and Netanyahu held out until Trump was in power. I'm not sure why he waited this long to get back the hostages, but I guess he had more killing to do. No one's getting a Nobel Peace Prize out of this. Fuck them. I can only hope that Europe and other countries might do something since they more clearly see that Israel has been guilty of genocide all along.
I'm glad at least that the No Kings protests went well yesterday, but I worry about what the Supreme Court will do with their new voting rights case. Early voting for November's election will start tomorrow on Oct 20th.
