Gazans Return to 'Homes' After Ceasefire: Structural Demolition Complete
Thousands of Gazans are reportedly returning to what remains of their homes, a familiar ritual of destruction and return. The U.S.-brokered 'ceasefire' comes after months of unfettered bombing, largely with U.S.-supplied weaponry. While Al-Monitor notes the 2.2 million displaced, they gloss over the consistent pattern: Congress overwhelmingly approves aid to Israel, often after significant AIPAC
lobbying dollars have been distributed to key politicians. For instance, Senator [Insert specific Senator Name and amount from OpenSecrets.org, e.g., 'Joe Manchin, who received $14,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs in 2022'] then votes for [Insert specific bill number, e.g., 'HR 4665 Security Assistance Act of 2024'] —a bill that sends billions more for the very ordnance that necessitates these
'returns to rubble.' How many cycles of destruction and 'return' does it take before we question the hand-wringing by politicians who profit from this very status quo?
