Aid to Gaza? Detained. Bombs to Israel? Approved!
Imagine the horror! A flotilla, laden with, gasp, humanitarian aid, heading towards Gaza. Naturally, Israel intercepted it. Because nothing threatens "security" more than medicine and food. Five Australians, now 'detained' – not 'kidnapped,' mind you, that's reserved for others – for their criminal act of caring. Their own government is "pushing for information." They'd push harder for an overdue
library book. Yet, those same governments happily rubber-stamp arms sales and aid *to* Israel. Funny how that works. Remember when aid flotillas were noble acts of defiance? Now, if you bypass the blockade of an open-air prison, you're a criminal. But funding the blockade? That's just 'foreign policy.' Make sense? Not if you're not an AIPAC lobbyist. So, next time your school gym leaks or your
health insurance premiums skyrocket, remember: your tax dollars are hard at work. Funding the detention of do-gooders, ensuring the 'right' side has all the firepower. What's a little humanitarian crisis when there's an endless war to profit from?
