Gaza Funding 'Limbo' Amid Genocide: Corporate Media Distracts with Trump Drama
📰 THE STORY: The Financial Times reports that funding for Gaza is in 'limbo' due to political infighting around a Trump 'Board of Peace' initiative, implying US political dysfunction is the primary obstacle to the territory's economic recovery. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The 'limbo' of Gaza's funding didn't start with a 'Board of Peace.' Gaza has been under a brutal
Israeli-Egyptian blockade since 2007, an illegal collective punishment that suffocated its economy and infrastructure long before the current genocide. This blockade, imposed after Hamas won democratic elections, has systematically impoverished 2.3 million Palestinians. The current crisis is not a 'funding limbo' but an active genocidal campaign, with over 40,000 Palestinians killed since October
2023, infrastructure systematically destroyed, and famine intentionally induced by Israel, as reported by UN agencies like OCHA and UNRWA. Double Standard: Western media routinely frames the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza as a consequence of 'Palestinian governance' or 'funding issues,' while ignoring the intentional siege and bombardment by a US-funded and armed military. When Russia began its
invasion, the same outlets immediately highlighted its destructive impact on Ukrainian infrastructure and civilians, directly attributing the suffering to Russian aggression. In Gaza, the aggressor, Israel, and its primary enabler, the US government, are often erased from the causality chain, replaced by vague notions of 'economic recovery' challenges.
