Gaza’s Aid Disappears: Is It the 'Bermuda Triangle' or Just a Blockade?
The story laments humanitarian aid vanishing into thin air in Gaza, comparing it to the fabled Bermuda Triangle. How convenient to ignore the established reality: Israel's government maintains a strict blockade on Gaza (since 2007), meticulously controlling all entries and exits of goods and people. This isn't a supernatural vanishing act; it's a deliberate chokehold, repeatedly condemned by human
rights organizations like Amnesty International and the UN. The "disappearance" of aid isn't an act of God; it's a direct result of policies implemented by a sovereign nation. We might wonder, if aid consistently "disappears" within a controlled zone, how many times can a government be labeled a 'partner' in humanitarian efforts before we question the definition of 'humanitarian'? The Bermuda
Triangle claims ships; the Gaza blockade claims lives. One is a myth; the other is policy backed by billions in U.S. aid, often voted for by politicians who take large contributions from groups like AIPAC.
