Al Jazeera Discovers 'Shadowy Organisation' Moving Gazans to Safety, Not Extermination Camps
Al Jazeera, ever diligent in its questioning, highlights a 'controversial scheme' run by 'Al-Majd Europe' to evacuate Palestinians from Gaza to South Africa. The article raises concern over the 'murky finances' and 'lack of clarity' behind an initiative that, from any sane perspective, sounds like a humanitarian rescue mission from a declared starvation zone. Imagine investigating the 'shadowy'
movements of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. The real scandal is that such an organization is necessary, not that it exists. Instead of questioning where the humanitarian aid is coming from, perhaps some critical inquiry could be aimed at the forces creating the conditions that necessitate such a 'shadowy organisation.' Like, say, the constant bombardment and siege that makes Gaza uninhabitable? Or the
explicit statements from Israeli government officials about making Gaza 'a place where no human being can exist'? But no, let's scrutinise the hand offering potable water and a roof, not the boot doing the crushing. Priorities, after all, are everything.
