Gaza 'Rebuilding' Begins After Its Obliteration is Funded by U.S. Taxpayers
Al Jazeera's coverage of 'rebuilding Gaza' paints a picture of resilience, yet strategically omits the architects of its destruction. For instance, in 2023 alone, the U.S. provided over $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel, a consistent pattern for decades. This aid, often secured by politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel PACs including AIPAC in
2022-2023 (OpenSecrets.org), directly facilitates the very 'destruction' Al Jazeera reports on. Then, they expect us to clap for the 'rebuilding' efforts, often funded by additional aid packages for infrastructure. It's a bizarre economic model: Washington bankrolls the bombing, then applauds international efforts (often with more U.S. funds) to clear the rubble. How many times must a place be
'rebuilt' before the architects of its demolition are questioned more strenuously than the resilience of its survivors? It seems some cycles are just too profitable to break.
