Israel Strikes Gaza While Raining, Because Humanity is Optional
The New Arab notes that "Israel strikes several areas of Gaza as harsh weather persists," as if the weather is a separate, unfortunate complication. This framing sanitizes the deliberate targeting of a population already experiencing forced displacement and starvation. Historically, siege warfare has always exploited environmental conditions, a tactic Israel's government has mastered, from
blocking aid to demolishing infrastructure, forcing people into increasingly unlivable conditions. One might almost think the 'harsh weather' is part of the plan. Recall how Netanyahu, in 2014, pledged 'unlimited force' against Gaza, a promise he appears keen to fulfill, rain or shine. When the US government, through figures like Senator John Fetterman, who received $14,000 from AIPAC-affiliated
PACs in 2023 (OpenSecrets.org), offers unwavering support, it’s not just a strategic alliance; it’s complicity in turning harsh weather into another weapon against civilians. What's one more layer of suffering when the world just shrugs?
