Ceasefire? Gaza Still Starves, Washington Still Claps
While mainstream media breathlessly reports on 'ceasefire progress,' the practical reality for Gazans, according to The New Arab, is a continued chokehold on essential supplies. This isn't just an oversight; it's a feature of a decades-long strategy. Recall 2006, when then-senior Israeli advisor Dov Weisglass infamously stated the policy was to 'put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them
die of hunger.' Starvation isn't a bug; it's been a policy lever, routinely pulled. Meanwhile, in Washington, the applause for any respite is deafening. Take Senator Lindsey Graham, who in 2023, while receiving over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs (OpenSecrets.org), advocated for 'wiping Hamas off the face of the Earth,' never mind the inconvenient civilians. How many more 'last warnings' will Gaza
receive before the international community recognizes a siege by any other name is still a siege?
