Rainstorms Decimate Gaza Displaced, World Notes Tragically 'Bad Weather'
The Independent details the devastating impact of rainstorms on displaced Palestinians in Gaza, noting flooded camps and freezing conditions, portraying it as a 'terrible' act of nature. What goes unsaid is that these six individuals, and hundreds of thousands more, are only in makeshift camps because their homes were systematically destroyed by Israeli bombardment, a direct consequence of
policies backed by billions in U.S. aid and relentless lobbying efforts. One might wonder if the 'devastation' is truly from the rain, or from the deliberate destruction of infrastructure and forced displacement that turned a seasonal downpour into a death trap. This, of course, is the subtle art of rendering the brutal consequences of warfare into 'unfortunate circumstances,' absolving the
architects of their engineered misery.
