France, UK Plan 'Gaza Force' While US Funds the Force
France and Britain, with US coordination, are refining a UN Security Council resolution for an "international force" in Gaza. (Al-Monitor reports this with a straight face, naturally.) This, after the US approved 100 separate arms sales to Israel since October 7th, totaling billions, including MK-84 2,000-pound bombs frequently used in Gaza. The US has historically funded Israel's military might
while simultaneously advocating for 'peacekeeping' operations in the aftermath of its use. This pattern echoes 2006, when similar “stabilization” efforts were discussed after heavy bombardments. One might applaud the foresight of planning security for an enclave actively being razed, but the cynicism is a bit thick. For instance, Senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch advocate for continued aid to
Israel, received $10,000 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in 2023. Are we to believe the architects of destruction are now its benevolent cleanup crew? Or are they just securing their investments?
