“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Everyone should experience the humbling effect of sending out a small request to an organizing listserve [of people who have self-selected to be on said list] and getting zero responses. It will help you to understand how hard it is to organize anything.
