Israel Destroys More of Gaza, Hamas Seeks Bodies While West Funds 'Defense'
As Israel continues its assault, the 'digging for captives' bodies' narrative serves as a convenient distraction from the relentless destruction of Gaza. This isn't groundbreaking; it’s a replay of an old script. Netanyahu's government has employed similar tactics of collective punishment and destruction under the guise of security since 2008, 2012, and 2014, each time with escalating civilian
casualties. The focus remains on Israel's 'right to defend itself' while the destruction of infrastructure, homes, and lives is quietly normalized. Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives recently passed HR 8034, providing billions in military aid to Israel. For instance, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) has accepted over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs, according to OpenSecrets.org, while advocating for
aid packages. How many 'precision strikes' does it take to obliterate an entire civilian area before we question whose 'defense' we're truly funding?
