Occupier makes mockery of ceasefire terms – while still shooting civilians in Gaza

Israel has ended a day in which it received three released Israeli captives from Gaza, released ninety haggard Palestinian hostages and murdered at least three people, including a child, in Gaza in blatant breaches of the supposed ceasefire agreement, by rounding up and arbitrarily detaining at least sixty Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank:
This tactic is not new to Israel – previous captive-swaps have been closely followed by mass arbitrary arrests and so-called ‘administrative detention’, which can be and often is used to imprison Palestinians without charge for years who are often beaten and tortured, with complete impunity for Israel from so-called ‘liberal’, ‘democratic’ western governments.

No mention on our lying MSM (of course). The BBC Today programme described it this morning as a “fragile peace.” No, Netanyahu intends it to be the very opposite of peace and Trump has promised him yet more weapons. Continuing the true American way of fighting those incapable of fighting back, but when it comes to NK, Russia or China, it runs away.
