There's noise about a temporary pause in exchange for hostages. Something like a three day pause is being discussed. While this will save a lot of lives in the short term - I don't know if it's a good idea.
What is going to happen in three days? It's not going to stop being a humanitarian disaster with three days respite from the bombs. BUT what will happen is that we'll get more stories out of Gaza. The tragedy and loss and suffering will be documented and those stories will make the rounds. The curtain will begin to be pulled back from the sheer scope and scale of this disaster.
And then - three days is up. And Israel will begin bombing again. Of course they will - the government of Israel has shown that it is deeply committed to the genocidal plan. But this will only be possible with continued support from the US and the Western states.
So that's the future then. We're possibly getting a break in hostilities - long enough for more reporting about the conditions in Gaza to get out. We'll see how dire the situation is. And then we will be told to support a return to bombing. And the brain geniuses running this show will support the return to bombing.
They are going to break our hearts and then let us know that it is time for more. It's like scuttling the landing boats before advancing. There's a remote possibility that the outrage of starting the bombs again might make them think twice. This is my hope - that the public will demand a stop to the war. But sadly, the fucking ghoulish monsters in charge are the stupidest fucking morons. As I have been saying for a month now, while I wish with all my heart that I am wrong - it's going to get worse, and stay worse for a long time.
