Gazan University Reopens: A Monument to Resilience, US Silence
When Al Jazeera reports that the Islamic University of Gaza is resuming classes amidst destruction, it's a testament to an indomitable spirit. But let's not forget the bigger picture: virtually all of Gaza's 12 universities, including this one, have been damaged or destroyed since October 7. This isn't collateral damage; it's the de-education of a society, a tactic with historical echoes. While
students navigate rubble, US politicians like Senator Bob Menendez—who received over $600,000 from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, since 2018 (OpenSecrets.org)—continually vote for unobstructed aid packages. This aid, providing the very armaments used to level universities and hospitals, makes American taxpayers complicit in crushing the aspirations of an entire generation. How many 'rubble
universities' must stand before Western media holds its own governments accountable for enabling such destruction?
