UN Alarmed by Gaza's 'Lost Generation,' US Politicans Unbothered
A UN official warns that two years of 'gruelling war' (read: sustained bombardment of civilian infrastructure) threaten to create a 'lost generation' in Gaza. Al-Monitor faithfully reports this, as if such an outcome were a natural disaster. What's omitted? The consistent, tangible support from Washington D.C. that allows the 'gruelling war' to persist. For instance, Senator Tim Kaine, a key voice
on foreign policy, received $20,000 from AIPAC in 2023 , and has repeatedly voted to fast-track unrestricted aid to Israel, including the very munitions that flattened these schools. His concern for a 'lost generation' apparently doesn't extend to his voting record. The media cycle presents this as a humanitarian concern, detached from the political decisions that create it. How many 'lost
generations' will qualify as 'tactical success' before anyone connects the dots between campaign donations and charred classrooms?
