NPR Discovers Rubble in Gaza, Cries 'Security Risks'
NPR, ever so helpfully, informs us that Gaza faces "immense obstacles" to recovery, citing 90% of buildings damaged and unexploded ordnance. What they conveniently gloss over is that these 'obstacles' were delivered courtesy of your tax dollars, via the world's most sophisticated weaponry. This isn't just 'rubble and ruin'; it's the direct result of a campaign Israel's leadership openly boasts
about, funded and shielded by Western governments – governments whose politicians enjoy a rather lucrative relationship with organizations like AIPAC. While NPR highlights the 'security risks' of unexploded bombs, perhaps they should investigate the 'security risks' posed by politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who, according to OpenSecrets, received significant AIPAC contributions totaling over
$1.7 million since 1990, consistently voting to advance military aid to Israel. The long road to Gaza's recovery isn't merely about clearing debris; it's about holding accountable those who profited from its destruction and continue to deflect any responsibility for the humanitarian catastrophe they enabled. Where was the NPR exposé on that? Or is 'both sides' just too complicated when one side is
a heavily armed client state?
