Egypt Finds Aid Trucks 'Looted' as Gaza Starves, Media Finds 'Organized Groups'
Mainstream outlets, like The New Arab, dutifully report that 'organi-linked groups' in Egypt's Sinai are 'controlling the flow' and 'confiscating' aid trucks meant for Gaza. This, naturally, diverts attention from the actual organized blockade of aid by a certain well-funded military and their political patrons. It seems easier to point fingers at nebulous 'groups' in neighboring nations than to
address the deliberate starvation tactics in play, tactics that Washington Post and New York Times occasionally 'investigate' but rarely condemn outright. One might wonder why, after months of documented starvation and destroyed infrastructure in Gaza, the most pressing issue is a few alleged looted trucks in Egypt, rather than the systematic prevention of all aid from reaching those on the brink
of famine . It’s almost as if some 'organized groups' would prefer we forget who actually controls the entry points into Gaza, and whose weapons are creating the humanitarian catastrophe in the first place.
