UN Chief 'Urges' More Aid for Gaza, US Votes Against Ceasefire
While France 24 dutifully reports that the UN chief “urges” Israel to open more aid crossings into Gaza, the American media conveniently forgets to mention US voting records. The Biden administration, for instance, has repeatedly blocked UN Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, effectively allowing the continued siege to necessitate these very 'urgent' pleas for aid. This
isn't a new script. Netanyahu's government has a long history of restricting aid to Gaza, using it as leverage while the world issues toothless 'urges'. The real story isn't the UN's call, it's the international community's sanctioned paralysis, and the consistent flow of US military aid – $3.8 billion annually, with an additional $14 billion proposed in the latest supplementary bill – that
enables this manufactured humanitarian crisis. How many times must aid be 'urged' before the obvious conclusion is drawn?
