RapidcreekU.S. says Israel has agreed to the framework for a Gaza cease-fire. Hamas now must decide
I hope people will read past the propagandist headline.
The proposal, as it was last week, is essentially you Palestine give us everything we want and all your negotiating power, we Israel will stop murdering you for Ramadan, then we’re back in force after regrouping and no more threat of bad PR for killing our own…
That’s not a framework for a ceasefire or a peace deal. It also plays that Israel is ready for peace and it’s Hamas holding it back as always. When you’re not even close to an agreement of terms, and you “leak” such details, it’s an obvious ploy for media attention that it has received and straight out of the propaganda playbook.
That’s not hyperbole by the way. The IDF has one of the best “how to propaganda” books in the world that was developed with the US. It is freely available for anyone to read and talks about which words to use when. Which news to leak. How to frame negotiations to paint themselves positively while not allowing actual advancement. It’s a great read for everyone to be aware of when they see these methods used all over the world as it is widely adopted now.
As opposed to Hamas’ plan which is the complete destruction of Israel and all its people
Not true. Basically, they want an end to the apartheid.
Is is a complicated history but even the Hamas founding charter, which is certainly unreasonable in its fundamentalism with Sharia Law and is antisemitic, does not call for the extermination of all Jewish People. That’s a lie, and also intentionally ignores the 2017 Revised charter. Check Article 7 and 13 of the 1988 Charter to see yourself, compare it to Article 20 and 24-26 in the revised version too. Hamas has committed atrocious acts, there’s no need to make things up about Hamas to show they’ve done terrible things. Ending the occupation and having a Palestinian election for the Palestinian people to choose their own leadership is the way to diminish support for Hamas and other Armed resistance groups. Further terrorizing the West Bank and Gaza will only increase their support, which has been shown historically not only within the Occupied Palestinian Territories but throughout history.
