Greece Solicits Donations for Gaza Evacuees, US Sends Billions to Perpetrators
Raghad al-Fara, 15, is one of ten Gazan minors seeking refuge and medical care in Greece, her life irrevocably altered by injuries from what the media sanitizes as 'the Gaza war.' While European nations host donation drives for these children, the US Congress is busy approving billions in additional 'security assistance' to the party responsible for their trauma. In April 2024, the House passed HR
8035, securing over $26 billion for Israel, including over $5 billion for missile defense and $3.5 billion for advanced weapons. Many of the 366 Representatives who voted 'Yea' on this package, including Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022, consistently support such aid while humanitarian crises escalate. So, while Europe mops up the human fallout,
Washington ensures there’s always more fallout to mop. One might wonder if the 'humanitarian concern' would be better served by halting the weaponry rather than just treating the wounds caused by it. How many children must be airlifted to foreign hospitals before we question the suppliers?
