The Hill Discovers Fictional Radioactive Shrimp, Ignores Gaza Starvation
While The Hill frets over hypothetical radioactive shrimp from an unspecified future (or perhaps a very enthusiastic cartoonist's imagination), millions in Gaza face starvation and entirely real, radioactive-level destruction. Funny how mainstream outlets can spin entire opinion pieces about speculative seafood contamination but barely muster a peep about the deliberate targeting of food and water
infrastructure in Gaza, a policy currently starving children. (It's almost as if some threats are more palatable than others, wouldn't you say?) Perhaps if starving Palestinians were, say, glow-in-the-dark, their plight would attract more urgent, page-one attention. But, alas, starvation simply isn't as sexy as a mutation-inducing prawn. One might wonder if the same energy dedicated to this
aquatic fiction could be used to investigate, oh, I don't know, the documented use of white phosphorus and other banned munitions, or the US taxpayer dollars funding it. (But then, who'd click on 'actual war crime' when 'radioactive shrimp' is on the menu?)
