Israel 'Graciously' Considers Feeding Gaza After 2 Years of War
Al-Monitor reports Israel is “expected to allow Gaza's sole border crossing to the outside world to reopen” for humanitarian aid, framing it as tied to a 'US-backed ceasefire deal.' This 'reopening' follows two years of sustained conflict and blockade, including over six months of what the UN and human rights organizations have called genocidal actions, where Israel's military—heavily supplied by
US taxpayer dollars —has systematically destroyed infrastructure and blocked aid. The article conveniently omits that the border has been systematically restricted for years , exacerbating a humanitarian catastrophe often ignored until it reaches unprecedented levels. One might wonder why it takes two years of war and mass starvation for an aid crossing to be considered 'newsworthy,' or why a
government that has destroyed Gaza's lifelines is now lauded for conditionally 'reopening' them. This is not generosity; it is a grudging acknowledgment of international pressure after ensuring maximum suffering, all while American politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who received over $75,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022 , continue to advocate for unrestricted military aid to Israel,
effectively greenlighting the blockade. The US-backed 'ceasefire' deal seems less about humanitarian relief and more about mitigating global outrage while maintaining strategic advantage.
