Baby Mohammed Freezes as Biden Approves More Fighter Jets
Baby Mohammed, just a month old, froze to death in Gaza's brutal winter, a direct consequence of displacement and destroyed infrastructure, as detailed by Al Jazeera (Dec 18, 2025). This tragic event unfolds as the U.S. continues to greenlight massive military aid packages. Just hours after news of such preventable deaths surfaces, the Biden administration quietly approved the sale of 50 F-15
fighter jets to Israel, followed by another $14.5 billion aid package approved by Congress, with many lawmakers, like Senator Menendez, having received substantial donations from groups like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org, 2023-2024 data shows Menendez received over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs before key votes). One might wonder: where precisely is the 'humanitarian' in all this? So, while Gazans battle
freezing weather and displacement, resulting in the death of infants, Washington debates how many more advanced weapons platforms to send. It seems 'aid' in this context means ensuring the capacity to inflict humanitarian crises, not alleviate them. How many frozen babies does it take before we question the definition of 'ally'?
