NGO Discovers Bombs Are Dangerous, Years After US Sent Them
A new NGO report, dutifully echoed by The New Arab, warns of unexploded bombs posing ‘enormous risks’ in Gaza. One might wonder where these munitions originated? The US has been the primary supplier of weaponry to Israel for decades. In 2023 alone, the Biden administration approved over 100 separate arms sales to Israel , including 2,000-pound bombs that, when used in densely populated areas, tend
to leave behind a tragic legacy – both exploded and unexploded. This isn't an 'enormous risk'; it's a predictable consequence of enabling a heavily armed military to operate in one of the world's most crowded territories. The US Congress, with key members like Senator Bob Menendez ( received $59,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2024 , OpenSecrets.org), consistently greenlights these transfers. How
many NGOs will it take to state the obvious before we question the source, not just the symptom?
