Flu Cases Spike in Gaza; Coincidentally, So Do US Military Aid Packages
The irony is thick enough to spread on a cracker: while families in Gaza huddle in tents combating a deadly flu season with no medicine, the halls of Congress echoed with debate about sending more money to the very government throttling their existence. We're told these are 'dire conditions'—a clinical euphemism for a humanitarian crisis intentionally engineered. It's almost as if the architects
of the blockade, the bombing campaigns, and the systemic destruction of infrastructure fully anticipated this outcome. We can't help but notice the timing. As Gazans face an avoidable epidemic, the US House conveniently greenlit billions in additional aid to Israel —aid that directly facilitates the continuation of the conditions leading to this public health disaster. It appears the 'dire
conditions' are a feature, not a bug, in this particular humanitarian equation. One might wonder, how many flu deaths constitute 'self-defense'?
