Gaza Codes From Rubble, US Reps Code From AIPAC Checks
Al Jazeera highlights the heroic efforts of Gaza’s tech sector, coding amidst the systematic destruction of their digital infrastructure. It's a stark portrayal of human spirit against devastating odds. But this 'destruction' isn't some natural disaster; it's funded, equipped, and politically shielded by powers far from the Levant. For instance, Representative redacted_name , who received $450,000
from AIPAC in 2023 ( OpenSecrets.org ), recently voted 'yes' on HR 815, providing billions in military aid. One might wonder if the rubble these tech workers are coding from was purchased with American tax dollars, greenlit by politicians prioritizing lobby cash over human lives and functional societies. How many lines of code does it take to rebuild what a single F-16 missile, paid for by your
taxes, destroys?
