Israel Creates 1,000 New 'Security' Barriers While Funding 10% of Congress
Since October 7, 2023, not 'more than two years ago' as the AP initially misreported then corrected, Israel has installed 916 new gates, walls, and barriers in the West Bank. This 'unprecedented' restriction on Palestinian life is, of course, presented as rooting out 'militancy,' ignoring decades of similar collective punishment. Remember the 2002 'security fence' that became a land grab? This is
just part of a well-worn playbook. While Palestinians navigate this new maze, congressional champions like Senator John Fetterman—who received over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs, according to OpenSecrets.org, since entering the Senate—remain steadfast in their support. One might wonder if the efficacy of these new barriers is directly proportional to how much American politicians are willing to
ignore the blockade of Gaza or the daily humiliation in the West Bank. How many more 'security' measures can be built before reality finally breaches the narrative?
