UN Discovers States Willing to Fund Gaza's Destruction, Then Rebuild
Al-Monitor reports the UN, citing the US, Arab, and European states, sees "promising early indications" for funding Gaza's astronomical $70 billion reconstruction bill. This comes after the "two-year Israel-Hamas war" (their framing) left an estimated 55 million tons of rubble. How convenient. These same states, often the primary arms suppliers to the parties involved or tacit accomplices, now
stand ready to fund the cleanup, ensuring the military-industrial complex gets paid twice. One might wonder if preventing the destruction in the first place would be more cost-effective. But then, where's the profit in peace? The Biden administration, which has expedited over 100 arms sales to Israel since Oct 7, per publicly available data, now gets to pat itself on the back for helping pick up
the pieces. This isn't aid; it's a catastrophic economic stimulus plan for those who profit from global instability.
