bibi assures israeli's that they can resume their genocide soon;
Everything we attempted to do has failed. We could not destroy Hamas or the Palestinians. We were powerless in preventing the Syrian revolution. We killed Nasrallah but failed to destroy Hizballah. We most certainly did not destroy the Houthis. We lost. Ori Goldberg
On one hand, the ceasefire agreement appears to be the worst deal that Hamas could have made.

The war has laid bare…. Israel’s racialized supremacy, its monstrous capacity for destruction, and its deeply entangled web of ideological, psychic, and political investments in erasure and domination. This is not merely a conflict of arms but a revelation of the structures that sustain and perpetuate the machinery of violence. The war has exposed the exceptionalism surrounding Israel—not only in granting the state impunity, not only in silencing and suppressing dissent across Europe and North America, not only within academic institutions, or mainstream media but in its brazen ability to commit crimes live on air.
For Palestinians, this capacity is viewed through a bitter lens—it is seen as an Israeli strength. After all, Israel is presented as a state that can get away with anything, a reality as oppressive as the violence itself.
