Biden Admin Applauds 'Exit-Only' Gaza Plan: Humanitarian or History Repeating?
When mainstream outlets discuss 'exit-only' corridors from Rafah, they rarely connect it to the Nakba of 1948 or the 1967 war, where Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes. The current 'exit strategy' from Gaza’s last refuge isn't an isolated incident; it’s a direct echo of previous ethnic cleansing operations, rebranded as 'humanitarian pauses' or 'safe zones'. One might wonder how
many times a 'temporary displacement' becomes permanent before the term 'genocide' becomes acceptable in polite conversation. While officials in Washington express 'concerns' over civilian casualties, the Biden administration simultaneously greenlit additional weapons shipments in March 2024, including MK-82 bombs and JDAM kits, according to a report from The Washington Post. Senator Chuck
Schumer, who has received over $450,000 from pro-Israel PACs since 2018 (OpenSecrets.org), recently declared Palestinian demands in negotiations 'unrealistic.' It seems the only unrealistic expectation is that the media will connect the dots between political donations, US arms deals, and the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe.
