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.

The Media Sold the War. We Watched It Happen.

What Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide reveals—and what the question of digital witnessing forces us to confront There is a disturbing question at the heart of the Gaza catastrophe that cannot be answered simply by asking what governments did, what armies did, or even what the media reported. There is another question: What did the world do while watching? Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, published by Pluto Press, approaches Gaza through the machinery of mainstream American media. His investigation examines how some of the most influential institutions in the Western information system—including The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC—framed the destruction of Gaza. It is an important question because wars are not fought only with weapons. They are also fought through language. Before bombs become statistics, they become headlines. Before civilian deaths become numbers, they become narratives. Before dest...

CLIMATE CHANGE

FOR STARTERS: WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE? The issues: 1. Are humans responsible for most of the global temperature rise of the past century or so, or is the increase just a typical fluctuation in global temperature? 2.  If most of the temperature rise can be attributed to increases in anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, what are the likely consequences if no action is taken to curb these emissions? What is the evidence?  Is it compelling? § What is the scientific consensus? § Climate models and their predictions § Consequences of the predictions § Strategies for change Chemistry we need to learn § The Earth’s energy balance - the greenhouse effect § The shapes of molecules - valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory § Molecular vibrations – how they absorb IR radiation § Masses and moles - weighing to count molecules Earth’s atmospher     a) The Earth is about 33 O C warmer than  expected  if we consider on...

The Price of Their Silence: How Islamophobia Became an Industry—and Muslims Its Global Collateral

  🖋️ By Malik Mukhtar 📍 ainnbeen.blogspot.com | 🗓️ June 28, 2025 They bombed Iraq for democracy. Tortured Afghans in the name of security. Waterboarded bodies at Guantanamo and called it “enhanced interrogation.” And now in Gaza—they bury children under rubble and whisper, self-defense . This isn’t a war on terror. It’s a war on memory, on names, on brown bodies that pray in Arabic. And Islamophobia has been its golden engine—powerful, profitable, and protected. 🧠 Islamophobia: Not Just Prejudice—A $Billions Industry Islamophobia is not just a bias—it’s a well-funded psychological operation . According to the Center for American Progress , over $42 million was channeled (2001–2011) into think tanks and media fronts to craft and normalize anti-Muslim sentiment. This isn’t random—it’s strategic. The goal: keep the public afraid —of Muslims, of mosques, of immigrants, of something called Sharia Law . 📘 Sharia Law: The Manufactured Threat That Never Was Let’s be c...
