🕊️ A Pause Isn't Peace

Finally a ceasefire, but the work is just beginning.

📡 On my Radar

Finally a ceasefire in Gaza.

Families reuniting with hostages, the end of daily bombardment. I can’t stop looking at the videos of how joyful people are.

But relief and celebration are different things.

Over 67,000 Palestinians are dead. A third were children. Rania Abu Anza spent a decade trying to have children through IVF. Her five-month-old twins were killed in an airstrike, along with her husband and 11 family members. No ceasefire brings them back.

Beneath 60 million tonnes of rubble lie the bodies of an additional 10,000 missing people. The ceasefire doesn’t guarantee Gazans a viable government, Palestinian sovereignty, restore bombed hospitals and schools, undo manufactured starvation, or address the structural conditions that made this horror possible.

The systems that enabled this: unchecked military power, U.S. complicity, settlements, occupation - remain intact. A pause in violence isn’t justice. The work of building a world where Palestinian lives matter equally must now begin.

We can acknowledge relief without pretending the underlying unfairness has been resolved.
