Gaza Students Face 'Yellow Line' Snipers, White House Sees 'Humanitarian Pause'
Al Jazeera spotlighted the harrowing reality in northern Gaza: children like seven-year-old Toulin Al-Hindi attending tent schools, dodging sniper fire by Israel’s so-called 'yellow line.' Meanwhile, Representative Steny Hoyer, who has received over $185,000 from AIPAC in his career (OpenSecrets.org), recently advocated for sustained aid to Israel, without a peep about these tent schools. The
'humanitarian pause' sounds less like peace and more like a breath for the aggressors to reload. (Because, you know, children studying under sniper fire isn't a *real* humanitarian crisis.) One might wonder if the architects of these 'yellow lines' have ever considered how many 'tent schools' would appear in, say, Bethesda, MD, before the 'international community' decided it was more than just a
'complex situation.' Perhaps if these were children of lobbyists, the urgent calls for 'de-escalation' would actually mean something other than continued bombardment.
