Gaza Encampment Hit: Are There No 'Safe Zones' for U.S. Bombs?
Israel's military has again hit an area it previously declared a 'safe zone,' with an airstrike on al-Mawasi camp in Khan Younis killing five, including two children, according to Al Jazeera. This echoes countless previous incidents where civilians, told to move for their safety, found themselves under fire. Just last month, the U.S. approved another $14 billion in military aid, including bombs,
with barely a Congressional peep from politicians whose campaigns are amply funded by pro-Israel PACs. One might wonder at what point a 'safe zone' becomes merely a targeting coordinate for the next round of American-made ordnance. The world watches as the Biden administration expresses 'concern' while simultaneously greenlighting the very weapons used to ensure no corner of Gaza remains
untouched. Concern, it seems, is a purely rhetorical exercise when matched against a blank check for military hardware.
