The Ceasefire 2025 That Exploded

By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com

History, it seems, is allergic to peace—especially when written in Hebrew and rubber-stamped in Washington.

On October 9, 2025, Israel and Hamas signed what the world was told was a “historic ceasefire.” Trump called it a “miracle of peace.” Biden mumbled something about “stability was dd like a weary parent rewarding a serial arsonist for promising not to light another match.

And then, almost poetically—before the ink on the ceasefire dried, before the displaced could even lift their broken children from the floor of UNRWA schools—Israel began bombing again.

The war, it turns out, never ended. It just changed its costume.

Ceasefire as Performance Art

The ceasefire was supposed to begin at noon on October 10.
By dawn, the skies over Gaza City, Khan Younis, Nuseirat were already on fire again.
Drones, artillery, tanks—each one humming the same old hymn of “self-defense.”

Nine Palestinians were killed that morning, dozens wounded, homes leveled, and the media handlers in Tel Aviv called it an “operational adjustment.”
Operational adjustment!—as if massacres were mere clerical errors.

Israel’s Southern Command insisted it was only targeting “immediate threats.”
Apparently, in Gaza, an “immediate threat” includes a woman boiling lentils or a child trying to retrieve his schoolbag from the rubble.

The Ceasefire That Shoots Back

The deal promised prisoner exchanges, aid convoys, and the slow resurrection of a dead land.
But Israel, ever faithful to its doctrine of deterrence-through-devastation, couldn’t resist the urge to remind the world who holds the whip.

Gaza City’s Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhoods were shelled.
In Nuseirat, families moving northward were caught in drone fire.
In Khan Younis, residential blocks were turned to ash again.
In the official statement, these were “security zones.”
In truth, they were kitchens, bedrooms, and the last shelters of the displaced.

The message was unmistakable: Ceasefire or not, we will decide when you can breathe.

The Art of Deception

Israel’s generals have mastered a peculiar craft—the art of making barbarity sound bureaucratic.
They never say bombing; they say neutralizing a cell.
They never say killing children; they say eliminating collateral threats.
They never say violating ceasefire; they say repositioning troops.

And every Western outlet prints it faithfully, without the courtesy of quotation marks.

Meanwhile, humanitarian convoys wait at Rafah, engines idling, as aid workers read statements about “technical delays.”
Technical delays—that sacred phrase that means people are dying, but the paperwork isn’t ready.

The Silence of the Civilized

No Western leader condemned the renewed strikes.
The same voices that roared when Hamas fired back now hum lullabies when Israel breaks its word.
Europe is silent, America is complicit, and the United Nations—poor thing—issues “urgent calls for restraint” as if it’s talking to a misbehaving child, not a nuclear-armed state that has learned immunity by repetition.

And so the farce continues:
A ceasefire that bombs.
A democracy that starves.
A superpower that shrugs.

The Moral Ruins

Every bomb after the ceasefire is not just a violation—it is a confession.
A confession that Israel cannot exist without its enemies, that the war is not about hostages or Hamas or rockets, but about erasing the very possibility of Palestinian life.
A confession that the real battlefield is not Gaza’s ruins, but the world’s conscience.

Because if this is what “peace” looks like, then what language remains for justice?

Postscript from the Rubble

As Gaza’s people pull bodies from beneath what’s left of their homes, the world scrolls past.
Diplomats tweet “hopeful progress.”
Israeli spokesmen hold briefings about “mistaken coordinates.”
And in Washington, another billion-dollar aid package quietly sails through Congress.

History will not record this as a ceasefire.
It will remember it for what it truly was:
a rehearsal for the next massacre, staged under the banner of peace.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed “ I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant. ” That’s not a horror-film script. That’s not medieval history. That is the testimony of an Australian medic standing in a Gaza hospital in 2025, describing what it means to “ practice medicine ” under Israeli bombardment. A nine-months-pregnant woman , decapitated , her body torn open so that the child she carried could be pulled out lifeless — and somehow this is still not enough to shake the comfortable democracies of the West into anything resembling a conscience. We should probably give the Nobel Prize for Creative Euphemism to the politicians who still call this “self-defense.” After all, there’s nothing quite as defensive as severing the head of an expectant mother and forcing foreign doctors to deliver her dead child in the rubble of what used to be a hospital . Bravo, civilization . The tragedy is not just the atrocity itself. It’s the smug perfo...

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Century of Complicity in Disguise.

So we’ve reached this moment: Keir Starmer’s UK “ recognises the State of Palestine. ” Applause lines up. Speeches made. Headlines dazzled. But behind the pomp, the guns, the exports, the intelligence, the training — history rings out in mocking laughter. Because Britain has been complicit since day one. This recognition is not redemption . It’s theatre. 1. The Original Sin: Balfour Declaration Let’s go back. Because if you don’t know your history, you’ll be fooled by the future. On 2 November 1917 , Arthur James Balfour (Britain’s Foreign Secretary) wrote to Lord Rothschild, and officially declared: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object , it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine , or the rights and political sta...

Gaza’s Medical Apocalypse: Numbers, Neglect, and the Farce of “Access”

If you ever needed proof that statistics can be more damning than bombs, look at Gaza’s health crisis . Behind the headlines and hashtags lies a cascade of bodies and broken systems. We have numbers, we have reports, we have PDFs— and yet the world stares, unmoved, at the collapse. Below is your ruthless, numbers-soaked guide to the suffering —and the institutional failure—behind Gaza’s medical implosion . 1. The Health System Is Already Dead. We’re Just Counting the Corpse. According to WHO, “The Gaza Strip faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with rising mortality and widespread displacement.” Between 1 January and 31 August 2024 , local health authorities reported 18,900 deaths and 38,916 injuries . Women, children, and the elderly account for over 50 % of fatal casualties . More than 53 % of Gaza’s 36 hospitals were non-functional as of August 2024, and many of the partially functioning ones lacked adequate water or relied entirely on fuel generators. ...

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...

The End of Zionism? Welcome to the Funeral Nobody Wants to Admit Is Overdue

Of course. Haaretz recently published an opinion piece by Ithamar Handelman -Smith titled “ Some Say It’s the End of Zionism, and I Say That’s All Right .” And what impeccable timing: as Israel carries out a near-two-year campaign of siege, famine, and bombardment in Gaza — slaughtering families, burying aid workers with their ambulances, and literally starving children to death — someone in Israel finally whispers the unspeakable: maybe Zionism, that 20th-century project of “ Jewish salvation ,” has outlived its moral shelf life. Bravo. The house is burning, bodies are scattered in the street, and the philosopher shows up with a garden hose . Zionism: Success Story or Crime Scene? Handelman-Smith argues that Zionism achieved its success : a Jewish state, a safe haven, a fortress against the ghosts of Europe’s crimes . But like every “ success story ” drenched in other people’s blood , it didn’t age well. What began as refuge turned into domination; what was called “ ...
