Gaza Building Collapses, US Media Wonders if Gravity Is Pro-Palestinian
Al Jazeera reports that a five-story building in central Gaza, already severely damaged during the ongoing war, has collapsed, killing at least two. This is what happens when infrastructure is systematically targeted, not by accident, but by design. While Al Jazeera connects the dots, the US media often frames such events with a clinical detachment, as if concrete structures just spontaneously
decide to disintegrate for reasons unknown. This 'spontaneous collapse' narrative conveniently sidesteps the documented campaign of widespread destruction detailed by organizations like Human Rights Watch, which has repeatedly highlighted the extensive damage to civilian infrastructure. The US, meanwhile, continues to greenlight massive arms deals, including F-35 fighter jets capable of such
destruction, supported by politicians like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who, according to OpenSecrets, received over $100,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022 and consistently votes for aid packages that enable this level of devastation. One might wonder at what point 'damage during war' stops being an act of God and starts being a predictable outcome of policy funded by your tax dollars.
