When a "ceasefire" in Gaza still somehow kills over 1,000 people

Original version ·

So apparently, the word "ceasefire" has a brand-new definition in geopolitics, and it doesn't involve actually ceasing fire.

Let's look at the math here. An agreement was reached last October between Israel and Hamas to pause the madness. But according to the local health ministry, more than a thousand Palestinians have been killed since that deal was made.

It turns out a modern diplomatic truce is less of a hard stop and more of a gentle suggestion. Military operations just kept rolling right through the "pause" button.

Calling something a ceasefire while continuing to drop things that explode is certainly one way to handle public relations.
