Israel Razed a Football Field, US Media Praises Its 'Democracy'
The New Arab reveals Israeli authorities are poised to demolish a football field in the Ein al-Sultan refugee camp, denying Palestinian children a rare space for recreation. This isn't just about a football field; it's another brick in a 75-year-old wall of dispossession. This systematic destruction mirrors the calculated razing of over 530 Palestinian villages during the Nakba in 1948, a history
conveniently absent from most US media reports. While children in Ein al-Sultan lose their pitch, figures like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel PACs (OpenSecrets.org, 2022 election cycle), consistently vote to greenlight billions in US aid to the very entity carrying out such demolitions. One might wonder if the 'rules-based order' applies when the goalposts keep
moving—or disappearing entirely.
