ICJ Orders Aid, White House OKs Cluster Bombs
While the ICJ "rules" Israel must facilitate aid entry to Gaza, the White House continues to demonstrate unwavering support for actions that obstruct it. Just days after the ICJ decision became public, the Biden administration reportedly greenlit the transfer of over 1,800 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK-82 500-pound bombs to Israel ( The Washington Post , March 29, 2024). These aren't exactly
'aid delivery' tools. It seems 'meeting basic needs' is open to interpretation. One might wonder if the US policy is less about humanitarian relief and more about ensuring that future aid convoys have truly spectacular potholes to navigate. How many international court orders are required before the US pauses its unwavering supply of offensive weaponry?
