BBC Discovers 'War-Scarred' Gaza, Omits Who Did the Scarring
The BBC's recent article, 'Inside one battle-scarred Gaza building, displaced families tell the story of the war,' paints a picture of families moving through a shelled building, a poignant look at suffering. What it conveniently sidesteps is the 'who' and 'why' of the scarring. These aren't random acts of God; they are the predictable outcome of an assault conducted with billions in US-supplied
weaponry. One might recall that just last month, the House passed HR 8034, sending another $14.1 billion to Israel, with Rep. Smith, for example, having taken $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023 ( OpenSecrets.org ). So, while the BBC marvels at the 'battle-scarred' architecture, we're left to wonder why the architectural firm responsible for the destruction—funded in large part by American taxpayers and
supported by politicians flush with pro-Israel lobby cash—remains an unspoken character in this tragedy. How many more 'stories of war' will we read before we connect the dots between campaign donations, legislative votes, and the shattered lives on the ground?
