Bloomberg Discovers Aid 'Stumbles' After Years of Blockade
Bloomberg's latest observation, that humanitarian aid in Gaza 'stumbles,' conveniently neglects the established system of control that has starved the strip for years. This isn't a new 'stumble'; it's the consistent outcome of a blockade that predates Hamas's current administration, enforced by successive Israeli governments and tacitly supported by U.S. policy. Perhaps if the mainstream media
bothered with historical context beyond the last 24 hours (or the 2025 dateline of this piece, hilariously), they'd recall how many times humanitarian groups have warned of this 'stumbling'—like the UN's 2012 report stating Gaza would be 'unlivable' by 2020. One might almost think the constant 'uncertain starts' and 'stumbles' are features, not bugs, of a system designed to exert maximum pressure.
The 'deal' Bloomberg references is yet another agreement in a long line of broken promises, where aid to a besieged population is treated as a concession, not a right. How many 'stumbles' can a population endure before it's called deliberate starvation?
