Just wait. It's simply a matter of time and circumstance before Israel resumes its genocidal acts against the Palestinians.

Think I'm kidding?

The Israeli media is reporting on a ‘secret clause’ in the Gaza ceasefire deal that no one is talking about

Hebrew-language Israeli media reports say there is a "secret clause" buried in the Gaza ceasefire agreement that would allow Israel to resume the war. Palestinians worry this is the pretext Netanyahu needs to get out of completing the deal.

 

 

The potential existence of such a secret clause has reinforced already-existing Palestinian concerns that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would seek to find a way to sabotage the deal. Already in March, Israel broke the first ceasefire after the release of all civilian Israeli captives in the first phase of the deal. Last July, Hamas accepted a proposed deal following talks through Egyptian and Qatari mediators, while Netanyahu completely ignored it as mediators waited for Israel’s response. 

Another Saturday of weekend work.

It's probably one of the reasons why I'm still presently employed.

Profiting off of death and destruction - the Western way.

So that's what 'short selling' is!

The suspicious timing of the stock market activity was revealed in a 67-page study first reported in the US by CNN.

The authors of the study found that unidentified investors in Israel and the US had sold their stocks in key Israeli companies just days before the Hamas attack. In a practice known as “short selling,” the investors later repurchased their stocks at a much lower price, reaping millions of dollars in profit.

The study – titled “Trading on Terror?” – was written by former Securities and Exchange Commission head Robert Jackson Jr., now a professor at New York University, and Columbia law professor Joshua Mitts, an expert in monitoring short selling activity on stock markets.

“Our findings suggest that traders informed about the coming attacks profited from these tragic events,” the authors wrote, adding “days before the attack, traders appeared to anticipate the events to come.” The study found that on 2 October, “nearly 100 percent of the off-exchange trading volume in the [Israeli equity market] … consisted of short selling.”

A perspective I've always had, but applies not only to the NHL, but really any sport that's run and controlled as a business.

Remember to forget October 7

We have also learned something, and this is perhaps the most important lesson: they are defeatable. 

Not only in some imagined future, but yesterday, today, and tomorrow — always. You can see it if you look closely enough. I saw it this morning in their eyes, in the way they carried themselves as they made an arrest. 

The movements of their bodies betrayed it: the stiffness, the over-gripping of their weapons, the rehearsed violence that covers over fear. Beneath the spectacle of power lies fragility, an unease that cannot be concealed. For all their weapons, their machines, their claims to permanence, they remain vulnerable, and it is this vulnerability that reveals the truth: they are defeatable.

Moonlight at Sunset Park.

So much for 'releasing hostages' the state of Israel never cared for anyways.

Israel continues airstrikes on Gaza after Hamas agrees to release all Israeli captives

While accepting the key point of Trump’s ceasefire proposal, the Palestinian resistance movement asked for further negotiations to be conducted regarding the details of the plan.

I completely agree with this -
 

Palestinian diaspora organization the Palestinian Youth Movement denounced the plan, writing that it is an “ultimatum between two unacceptable choices,” which are “continued genocide with refound legitimacy,” or “privatization and control over Palestinians by a wealthy elite who deprive them of all substantive rights.”

 

 

How did I miss this?

The ongoing genocide of the Palestinians truly is humanity's test of whether it can save itself from it's own hate-filled destructive ways.

The odds are low ... considering -

Let's face it, the Paris climate agreement was something agreed to because it was something that would never be adhered to by, well anyone.

Fact is, only a mass revolution of the majority of people to rise up against their oppressive systems that repress them - can save all of us.

And time is running out -

Twice as much fossil fuel as the 1.5ºC goal allows.

That’s the production level now planned by the governments of 20 major greenhouse gas emitters, according to the 2025 Production Gap Report, published this week by the Stockholm Environment Institute, Climate Analytics, and International Institute for Sustainable Development.
