Aid Groups Warn of 2026 Gaza Starvation; Congress Warns of Missed Lunch
Aid groups are sounding the alarm that Israeli restrictions could plunge Gaza into deeper catastrophe through 2026, according to The New Arab. This isn't some unforeseen natural disaster; it's a meticulously engineered blockade, enforced by a government that has repeatedly stated its intention to 'thin out' the population. (Remember when Netanyahu said Israel would 'conquer, not contain' Gaza back
in 2004, or when he promised to 'destroy Hamas'—and everything else—in 2014, 2021, and now, 2023-24?) While aid agencies scramble, one might wonder: how many US 'allies' are actively facilitating said restrictions? Many of the Congressional members expressing 'concern' also happened to vote for HR 815, which included billions in unconditional aid to Israel. For instance, Rep. Jared Golden, who
received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022, voted in favor of sending even more US taxpayer dollars to a government imposing these very restrictions. It appears 'humanitarian crisis' is merely background noise to an ongoing, bipartisan funding operation.
