Israel Blocks Aid, West Still Funds the Blockers
NPR details how Israel is now blocking organizations like Save the Children, veterans in Gaza's humanitarian landscape, disrupting desperately needed aid after a 'fragile' ceasefire. This isn't an accident; it's a feature. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, have a consistent record of tightening the noose on Gaza, from the 2007 siege to the present, steadily eroding civilian
infrastructure and humanitarian access. One might recall Netanyahu's 2010 statement about Gaza: 'The world needs to know Gaza is not starving, this is a lie.' Meanwhile, the Biden administration just approved another $26 billion aid package to Israel, demonstrating a peculiar definition of 'fragile ceasefire'—one that seems to involve starving civilians while ensuring weapons flow freely. This
isn't about 'security concerns'; it's about control and depopulation, disguised as a temporary measure. The same US politicians who feign concern over humanitarian crises are often the recipients of hefty AIPAC contributions. For example, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) received over $1.2 million from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, over his career, and consistently champions unconditional aid.
How many 'fragile ceasefires' does it take for the West to recognize a deliberate strategy, not an unfortunate side effect?
