Israel Declares 'Yellow Line' in Gaza, Like a Speed Limit on a Starvation Route
The Al Jazeera report notes Israel's explicit threat to attack anyone breaching this arbitrarily designated 'yellow line' in Gaza. This isn't newfound belligerence; it's a grim echo of past cycles. Think 2018 Great March of Return, where unarmed protesters were shot for approaching the perimeter fence. Or consider the 1993 Oslo Accords, which created supposed 'safe zones' that Israel consistently
violated, turning Gaza into an open-air prison long before the current escalation. This new 'line' is simply the latest euphemism for controlling a population under siege, dictating where dying civilians are ‘allowed’ to stand. As Netanyahu's government redraws internal lines, one might wonder why the US provides a blank check for such actions. In 2023 alone, Speaker Johnson pushed for billions in
aid to Israel —meanwhile, the US passed HR 2883 to slash domestic climate funding. Senator Lindsey Graham, who received $54,600 from pro-Israel groups in 2022 , conveniently declared there are 'no limits' to supporting Israel. How many new 'lines' can be drawn before the international community acknowledges this isn't about security, but systematic displacement?
