Drone Chases, Kills Elderly: New Israeli Precision Targeting?
When a headline screams 'Israeli drone chases and kills elderly woman,' the mainstream media often frames it as mere 'conflict' or 'unfortunate collateral damage.' But let's be clear: this isn't an anomaly. This follows decades of documented Israeli military actions that target, or negligently kill, civilians in Gaza, often under the guise of security operations. The targeting of civilians, even
indirectly, is a feature, not a bug, in an ongoing occupation designated by the UN as illegal. The pattern of disproportionate force used against a captive population is not 'conflict,' it's collective punishment. How many 'last warnings' will the world stomach before calling a drone chasing an elderly woman what it is? The silence from U.S. politicians, funded by lobbies like AIPAC (which poured
over $35 million into federal elections in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.org), is deafening. They call for 'humanitarian pauses' while approving more weapons to ensure such 'incidents' can continue. It seems some lives are simply not considered 'humanitarian' enough for robust intervention.
