“Since October 7th the whole concept of a ceasefire is irrevocably broken. Because before October 7th we had a ceasefire. If that’s what a ceasefire looks like, then we can’t afford ceasefires. Also, for the last century, you can see the same dynamic in work: Whenever the Jews or, after the foundation of the state, Israel are on the losing side of the conflict, the outside powers accept Arab demand. But when the Jews or Israel are winning, there’s a call for ceasefire. Calls for ceasefires are never innocent. They are always in the context of trying to prevent Israel from moving forward.”
