The Ceaseless Ceasefire
Gaza, “peace,” and surviving a zombie conflict. The post The Ceaseless Ceasefire appeared first on The Intercept .
People worldwide are trapped by forces beyond their control, according to a recent article in TomDispatch. The author spent time talking to individuals in Southeast Asia and North Africa, whose situations varied greatly despite their shared experience of organized, armed violence. Modern war zones are largely composed of civilians, not combatants.
War has a significant impact on soldiers and civilians, with civilians often suffering the most. In her piece, Safia Southey examines the plight of Gazans, who are caught in a ceaseless ceasefire cycle. The ceasefire agreement, meant to end the war, has instead left Palestinian governance and Israeli withdrawal dependent on decisions made by outside powers.
This arrangement may further entrench Israeli control over Gaza, trapping Palestinians in a "zombie conflict" with little control over their future.
