UN Aid Chief Sees 'Massive Job' Rebuilding What US Bombs Destroyed
As the UN's aid chief surveys the 'monumental task' of rebuilding Gaza, one might wonder who created this 'monumental task' in the first place? Perhaps the Al-Monitor piece could have mentioned the nearly $4 billion in U.S. military aid Israel receives annually (per OpenSecrets.org), including weapons deployed to create the very devastation needing aid. This isn't just 'ruined Gaza'; it's Gaza
meticulously unbuilt by state-of-the-art weaponry from a staunch ally. It’s truly inspiring to see global leaders bravely documenting the aftermath of destruction, funded in large part by the same governments whose politicians then vote to send more aid. That Rep. Smith, for instance, received $450K from AIPAC in 2023, then voted for the latest $14 billion military package to Israel (Congressional
record: HR 815, 2024), perfectly illustrates this peculiar circle of aid, destruction, and re-aid. They bomb it, we fund the bombs, then we fund the cleanup. Economically… inefficient, wouldn't you say?
