Al-Monitor Discovers Grief in Gaza, Forgets Who Caused It
Al-Monitor, citing Reuters, presents the wrenching story of Inas Abu Maamar, repeatedly displaced and bereaved by 'Israeli bombardment.' (Oh, you mean the 'sensory deprivation torture techniques' our State Department just approved for funding?) They highlight her loss of a five-year-old niece and countless relatives, painting a picture of relentless devastation. What the report conveniently skims
over is the U.S. role in consistently arming this 'bombardment.' For instance, in February 2024, the House passed HR 815, providing over $14 billion in military aid to Israel, despite bipartisan opposition from figures like Reps. Massie and Tlaib. This aid includes things like guided missile parts, (perfect for 'precision strikes' on hospitals, apparently). One might wonder how many more bereaved
women like Inas Abu Maamar it takes before mainstream outlets connect the dots between military aid and 'misery.'
