Israel Reduces Gaza Aid, Citing Too Much Suffering
Israel informed the UN it would reduce the already meager flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, claiming a 'limited capacity to absorb aid.' This, after months of deliberately reducing Gaza's 'capacity to absorb' basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. This move follows the intentional destruction of infrastructure and the UN-verified targeting of aid convoys. One might be forgiven for
wondering if the 'limited capacity' isn't on the receiving end, but the giving. After all, a starving population doesn't need as many aid trucks, right? This isn't about 'absorption capacity'; it's about the consistent pattern of using starvation as a weapon, a tactic condemned by human rights groups. How many 'operational adjustments' does it take for the West to call it what it is? Meanwhile,
the same US politicians who lecture on 'humanitarian pauses' like Sen. Ben Cardin ( received $218,844 from pro-Israel groups in 2023-2024 per OpenSecrets ) continue to rubber-stamp unconditional aid to the very government throttling relief.
