Was US President Trump’s ceasefire agreement, signed by Israel and Hamas October 10, a step in the right direction? Many observers were skeptical, citing the pact’s vagueness and Israel’s record of shamelessly violating virtually every agreement it has ever signed.
Others extended Trump the benefit of the doubt. They pointed out that the US theoretically has complete leverage over Israel, which can’t survive without lavish American largesse. Given Israel’s complete dependence on the US taxpayer, Trump could easily force the Israelis to adhere to the agreement if he genuinely wanted to.
Thus far, the skeptics’ case has prevailed. Israel has violated Trump’s so-called ceasefire almost 800 times, killing nearly 400 people, the vast majority unarmed civilians. And it has refused to comply with the ceasefire’s key tenet: complete withdrawal from Gaza. That was supposed to happen in coordination with the establishment of an internationally-coordinated stabilization force, consisting of a unified Palestinian entity administering a technocratic government to which Hamas would defer as it disarmed.
But Israel is preventing the creation of the unified Palestinian administration that is central to Trump’s peace plan. The Palestinian leader who could bring together all the factions is Marwan Barghouti, who remains in an Israeli prison in ill health under incessant torture. Thus far, Trump has refused to force Israel to release Barghouti. So the ceasefire has not moved past phase one, which Hamas has honored while Israel has not, into the phase two that would end the genocide.
That failure is deliberate. Israel has systematically undermined the ceasefire in myriad ways, not only by continuing to massacre Gazans, but also by allowing vastly less food and humanitarian supplies into Gaza than Trump’s ceasefire obliges them to. According to the Trump-brokered agreement, Israel must allow 600 trucks per day into Gaza. The United Nations reports that Israel has violated that provision by limiting the number of trucks to barely over 100 per day. As a result, Palestinians are still dying of starvation and exposure. Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh of Bethlehem University reported last weekend that fourteen Palestinian children died of exposure in a single day, as cold winter rains drench communities that have been systematically denied adequate nutrition, clothing, and shelter after Israel bombed their homes into rubble.
What does Israel hope to gain from such cruelty? Real estate. The Israelis are committing genocide—massacring people by the tens of thousands with the intention of expelling the survivors—so they can steal their victims’ property. And that is what they have been doing continuously, sometimes quickly and other times more gradually, since the Palestinian genocide began in earnest in 1948.
Though the official number of Gazans murdered since October 7 is currently around 70,000, that number represents only people directly killed by Israel whose bodies have been identified. Countless others have died from starvation, disease, and exposure, while still more lie rotting under rubble that remains to be excavated. (Virtually all of Gaza has been bombed to rubble.) The real number of victims is undoubted well over 100,000 and probably closer to the nearly 700,000 estimated by Ralph Nader.
But Israel has failed to remove most of the population of Gaza, which still numbers at least 1.5 million, down from the 2.2 million before the genocide intensified in 2023. So rather than steal all of Gaza at once, Netanyahu has settled on a plan to gobble up half of Gaza under the guise of the ceasefire’s “Yellow Line” provision. Trump’s ceasefire required Israel to immediately withdraw from almost half of Gaza to behind a Yellow Line. Then it would permanently depart from all of Gaza as soon as Phase 2 began. But Netanyahu, as we have seen, is systematically violating the ceasefire and obstructing Phase 2. That’s because Israel has no intention of honoring the agreement and withdrawing. “The Yellow Line is a new border line,” IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has announced.
Zamir’s announcement represents a slap in the face to Donald Trump and his peace plan. By making the Yellow Line the new Israel-Gaza border, Israel would be stealing more than half of Gaza. That’s not what the peace agreement says. It requires Israel to withdraw from all of Gaza.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that a nation whose top leaders are wanted for genocide by the ICC is refusing to honor its ceasefire obligations. Israel is also continuing to bomb Lebanon even though it signed a ceasefire with that country. It is continuing to illegally occupy vast stretches of Syria. It is accelerating its genocide of the West Bank, where vicious attacks on Palestinian civilians by settlers and their Israeli Defense Forces protectors are a daily occurrence.
Why won’t Trump force Israel into a lasting peace? What do they have on him?

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg was arrested in London during a protest supporting Palestine Action prisoners who are on a hunger strike. The demonstration occurred on Fenchurch Street, with the activist seen holding signs in support of the prisoners and against israeli genocide.
Greta Thunberg, aged 22, was arrested by City of London Police on Fenchurch Street.
The arrest was made for displaying a placard in support of Palestine.

Lawyers are acting under racist legislation to sue the government
The Prisoners for Palestine group organized the protest outside the offices of Aspen Insurance, as the company provides services to Elbit Systems, an Israeli-linked weapons firm.

Not hard to work out these days who are the enemy of all mankind.
It tells us in the Bible at:
1Thesalonians 2:15
For you, brothers, have become imitators of the churches of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you suffer the same things from your compatriots as they did from the Jews,
who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and persecuted us; they do not please God, and are opposed to everyone,
trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles that they may be saved, thus constantly filling up the measure of their sins. But the wrath of God has finally begun to come upon them.
What are the Jews going to do with the Bible, it’s obviously way too antisemitic…
Oh Mr. Barret, you are far to kind to the wretched man, revealing now whom he really is. Was he not a cog in the entire Zio blackmail operation? Did he not use his hotel and gambling parlors to lure the rich and influential into the more sordid vices at Epstein’s island, such as having sex with young underage bimbos, or with “whomever they wanted”? Surely he was more than just a good friend with Epstein? Surely he was involved in much more than just some predatory lusts with the young? What about his lust for power and the real road to power with his tribal friends through blackmail?
So why did Israel sign an agreement almost every thinking person on Earth knew Israel would violate? Because every thinking person knows that Israel goes by their evil anti-Christ Talmud, which says Jews can lie to gentiles and murder gentiles as much as it wants….and oh yeah, that Kol Nidre of theirs….
LOL..
Merry Christmas all…
Israel doesn’t mock the yankee peace plan..it knows that it’s all a feint, a fraud, a bluff.. let’s face it the whirled has just stood around jiggling it’s balls as hundreds of thousands of expendable imbeciles were slaughtered by yankee ordinance..
who the fuck do you think arms Benny and the boys…
Israel and the yanks and to a lesser degree the limeys because they are getting less and less everyday..are like some fat bastard waiting for his Ozempic script..so he can go and stuff his fat fucking face on junk food.. because he’s a victim..
d’ya get it?…
lolo..
The Zionist International has no concern for anything but itself. Its operatives and operations range from the single dedicated fanatic who will write letters to a newspaper, to the billionaires like Larry Ellison, who “vetted” the candidate for American secretary of state, to AIPAC and its ilk.
The picture with this story aptly characterizes one of its many leaders. And the same gesture could have been by Jeffrey Epstein and Company, for that gesture signifies what they did and to whom. All financed by Izrael. No where else would the money and assets have been obtained. And who finances Izrael? All as to why…
Izrael is not an ally to America. It is the opposite.

Peace plan? With criminally insane Jews?? Hahahaha One would literally have to be dumber than dog shit to believe that a jew would honor any sort of agreement with anyone, ever. How terminally f*cking stupid to think you can make a deal with psychopaths…
The jew offers nothing to society outside of their satanic cult but robbery, slavery, rape, abject degradation, and destruction. (((They))) have proven that time and time and time again over millennia. (((They))) will never change their utterly wicked behaviors and actions, will never knock that shit off. (((They))) have been given opportunity after opportunity over thousands of years to stop trying to steal everything nailed down or not, shitting all over everything, and raping people in the ass, but, like the nigger, they always revert to their core behaviors.
To continue to think that the jew will simply change their behaviors is one of the definitions of insanity and an express ride to destination f*cked. The only fix is to remove the jew from non-jew society – round ’em up, banish them all to a remote island, and forbid any and all contact with the outside whirled under penalty of death. Or just shove them into active volcanoes and be done with it.
