Gaza Displaced Drown in Rain, West Yawns: 'Just Weather'
Al Jazeera reports that heavy rains have flooded the already-overwhelmed shelters for displaced Palestinians in Gaza. These are the same shelters the 'humanitarian' pauses directed civilians toward, often on the same land rendered uninhabitable by relentless bombing campaigns. While the media frames this as a natural disaster, one might recall the deliberate destruction of infrastructure—water
systems, roads, homes—that makes such 'natural' events so catastrophic. This isn't a freak accident; it's the predictable outcome of weaponizing siege conditions. Israel has repeatedly targeted and destroyed essential infrastructure, creating conditions ripe for disease and displacement long before the rain started. The 'international community' that greenlit this destruction, with politicians
like President Biden approving significant military aid packages like the recent $14.3 billion for Israel just last month, now gets to tut-tut at the 'humanitarian crisis' it helped engineer. Convenient, isn't it, how the news focuses on the rain, not the deliberate systemic dismantling of a population's ability to survive it?
