AP Reports Rain in Gaza, Forgetting Who Flooded the Place
The Associated Press reports that Gaza's 'sprawling Muwasi tent camp' is being pummeled by winter rains, causing flooding and destroying shelters. One resident bought a 'new tent for 2300 NIS ($712.50)' on the black market —a testament to the thriving war economy. The AP notes the camp holds '425,000 displaced Palestinians' but conveniently forgets to mention that the UN identified this area as a
'humanitarian zone' only because Israel's relentless bombardment rendered the rest of Gaza uninhabitable. This isn't a 'natural disaster'; it's the predictable outcome of two years of systematic destruction of infrastructure, homes, hospitals, and displacement that pushes nearly a million people into a barren, low-lying coastal strip. The media frames a humanitarian catastrophe as inclement
weather, while US lawmakers, like Representative Steny Hoyer, who received $43,858 from pro-Israel groups in 2024 (per OpenSecrets.org) , ensure the siege continues. Apparently, the forecast for Gaza always includes 'acts of God' that look suspiciously like US-supplied bombs.
