BBC Discovers Children Still Dying In Gaza, Citing 'Israeli Failure'
BBC World reports that 15,000 Gazans need urgent medical treatment. They frame it as children 'dying as they wait for Israel to enable evacuations.' To say Israel 'fails' to enable evacuations is an interesting turn of phrase for a government that controls all entry and exit, routinely bombs hospitals (like Al-Shifa, repeatedly, in violation of international law), and maintains a suffocating
17-year blockade. Perhaps 'active disablement' is the more accurate, if less polite, term. The US, meanwhile, continues to 'enable' the suffering by approving more weapons. On April 20, 2024, the House passed HR 8035, providing $26.4 billion to Israel, including an additional $5.2 billion just for missile defense. This came weeks after President Biden explicitly stated concern for civilian
casualties.
