U.S. Bombs Litter Gaza, Children 'Play' With Unexploded Ordnance
While The New Arab highlights the devastating human cost of unexploded ordnance in Gaza affecting innocent children, the mainstream Washington narrative consistently glosses over its own complicity. The same week this story broke, the Biden administration approved another $1.2 billion in weapons for Israel, following a $14 billion package in April. Just last year, Representative Steny Hoyer, who
has received over $100,000 from AIPAC in his career, publicly pushed for unlimited aid, stating, “We will supply Israel with what it needs.” (OpenSecrets.org, 2023-2024 data for Hoyer). One might wonder if the children of Gaza are accidentally playing with an 'American-made' toy. How many more 'incidents' of children losing limbs to unexploded bombs will it take before our esteemed policymakers
acknowledge the direct link between their weapons shipments and the suffering on the ground? Or perhaps collateral damage is just the cost of doing 'business.'
