UN Discovers Gaza Needs Aid, Israel Discovers Blockades Work
The UN's latest announcement that 1.5 million people in Gaza need 'emergency assistance,' while Israel blocks aid, isn't news; it's a reiteration of design. Decades of siege have systematically crippled Gaza's infrastructure and economy. This isn't a logistical hiccup; it’s a policy—one that has been consistently supported by politicians like Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), who publicly stated there are
'no innocent Palestinian civilians' and whose campaign received $26,000 from pro-Israel PACs in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.org. How many 'ceasefires' will it take for the world to notice the starvation is the point? While Al Jazeera responsibly reports the UN's findings, the broader media whitewashes a humanitarian catastrophe as a 'lack of access.' One might wonder if the 'emergency
assistance' would be so urgent if those 1.5 million people weren't already living under a relentless military blockade, regularly greenlit by congressional votes shaped by lobbying giants like AIPAC. It seems 'humanitarian protection' only applies when it doesn't inconvenience geopolitics.
