Aid to Gaza: Floods, Famine, and Biden's Blank Check
While Al Jazeera details the latest misery in Gaza—displaced families now battling not just bombs but monsoon-like floods in makeshift camps—the White House is busy securing a $14 billion military aid package for Israel. ($14 billion, to be precise, as noted in the Senate's emergency aid bill HR 815, passed in February 2024). These aren't just 'weather events'; these are humanitarian catastrophes
compounded by deliberate policy. Remember, the deliberate destruction of infrastructure and forced displacement by Israeli forces (as documented by the UN and various human rights organizations since October 2023) ensures these people have nowhere else to go, no sturdy homes to return to. So, when the heavens open, their suffering isn't just an act of God. It's a direct consequence of policies
Washington staunchly defends. One might wonder if the U.S. believes in 'humanitarian aid' only when it comes in the form of bunker busters.
