Al Jazeera Discovers: Israel Not *Solely* Responsible for Gaza's Deaths
The piece argues that while Israel's blockade exacerbates conditions, other nations share culpability for not accepting injured Gazans. This framing conveniently glosses over who created the injuries in the first place. Israel’s own military operations, funded to the tune of $3.8 billion annually by the U.S. (per the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding), systematically destroy civilian
infrastructure, including hospitals and medical facilities. It’s hard to medically evacuate when the system is obliterated and border crossings are controlled by a belligerent party. (Remember the systematic destruction of Al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals?) One might wonder if any of these 'other nations' would need to step up if the source of the mass casualties was addressed. To suggest Israel
isn't to *blame* fails to acknowledge that denying basic supplies, deliberately bombing hospitals, and besieging a population are direct causes. It's like blaming the ambulance driver for a car crash when one driver actively rammed the other off the road.
