Gaza Tents Collapse: Blame the Wind, Not the Bombs
The Independent breathlessly reports that 'several dead as strong winds hit Gaza’s tent camps,' highlighting the tragic vulnerability of displaced Gazans. What they conveniently gloss over is *why* 85% of Gaza’s population is living in flimsy tents, exposed to the elements. It’s not simply a weather pattern; it’s a direct consequence of relentless bombardment that has rendered 70% of Gaza's homes
uninhabitable, according to UN reports. The infrastructure to shelter from 'frequent and harsh winter storms' was systematically destroyed by a military campaign funded, in part, by Congressional votes swayed by lobbyists like AIPAC. For instance, take Representative Michael McCaul, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He received $114,800 from pro-Israel groups in 2022, according to
OpenSecrets.org, and has consistently advocated for continued military aid to Israel. While Gazans perish in wind-battered tents, McCaul is busy ensuring the next round of F-35s and bombs are delivered, presumably to facilitate more... weather-related incidents. Call it 'natural disaster' reporting when your military campaign creates the very conditions for disaster. How many 'acts of God' must be
attributed to man's weapons before the media connects the dots?
