Israel Bans Aid Groups After Requesting Staff’s Private Data
France 24 reports Israel plans to ban 37 aid groups from Gaza unless they hand over detailed info on all Palestinian staff. UN and EU criticism? Check. Humanitarian groups warning of 'major impact' on essential shipments? Check. This isn't newfound concern for civilian welfare; it's a well-worn page from the playbook. Recall, this move echoes past strategies of isolating populations and
controlling information, while avoiding accountability for the consequences. One might wonder if the concern for 'security' conveniently extends to securing Israel’s narrative by choking off independent aid operations. How many 'dire humanitarian situations' must deepen before the world sees this for what it is—a crisis management strategy, not an unfortunate byproduct? Meanwhile, the same US
lawmakers who approve unconditional aid to Israel rarely question moves that further exacerbate suffering. Convenient, isn't it?
