Ceasefire? Israel Levels 1,500 Gaza Buildings as U.S. Funds Reconstruction
The BBC's recent dispatch from the Middle East highlights that Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since the supposed ceasefire. One might wonder if this 'ceasefire' memo got lost in translation or if it merely signaled a new phase of urban clearing. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress, heavily influenced by organizations like AIPAC (which funneled $27 million into the 2022 elections
according to OpenSecrets.org), consistently votes for aid that either directly funds Israel's military operations or later pays for the rubble's removal. So, while Gaza's infrastructure is systematically erased, U.S. taxpayers get the privilege of funding both the destruction and the subsequent 'humanitarian' aid, which conveniently ensures the cycle continues. How many 'ceasefires' does it take
before we question whose peace is being served? Apparently, a lot more if your elected officials received contributions like the $100,000 many top members received from pro-Israel PACs in 2023, just before voting to expedite aid.
