Israel Destroys Gaza Homes, US Calls it 'Self-Defense'
According to The New Arab, Israeli forces recently fired into Gaza waters and demolished homes across the enclave. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a normalized tactic, often during supposed 'truces.' While this makes headlines abroad, the US media frequently frames such actions as part of a vague 'conflict,' ignoring the tangible destruction and the asymmetry of power. The human toll is
rarely quantified beyond abstract numbers. These demolitions, alongside the naval blockades, are funded in part by billions in US military aid. For instance, in 2023, the US provided $3.8 billion in military assistance to Israel. This money, meant for 'defense,' consistently underwrites actions that critics argue constitute collective punishment and further displacement. How many homes can be
razed before the 'self-defense' narrative collapses entirely? And how much of your tax dollar is going to continue this cycle?
