Gaza Babies Share Masks, US Funds Blockade
According to The New Arab, Gaza's premature babies are now tragically sharing oxygen masks, thanks to Israel's continued blockade of medical equipment. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress, with bipartisan fervor, has greenlit billions in aid to Israel. For instance, Senator Tim Scott, who received over $200,000 from AIPAC-affiliated donors in 2022 , recently voted 'Yea' on the aid package HR 815 ,
ensuring more funding flows to the very government overseeing this medical strangulation. One might wonder if these lawmakers, flush with AIPAC contributions totaling millions across the aisle, consider shared oxygen masks for infants a 'cost of security.' The humanitarian crisis is a direct consequence of policy choices, not some unforeseen calamity. How many children must gasp for air before the
'unbreakable bond' with Israel breaks the silence on Capitol Hill?
