UN Official 'Saddened' By Rubble After US Votes More Bombs
When a senior UN figure tells The New Arab, 'not much is standing' in Gaza, it’s presented as a solemn revelation. What's often left unsaid, however, is the geopolitical calculus behind the destruction. For instance, in the last fiscal year alone, the US House of Representatives, heavily influenced by organizations like AIPAC which spent over $5.9 million in lobbying in 2023 , greenlit billions in
military aid to Israel. Representative Steny Hoyer, a top recipient of AIPAC funds , has consistently supported such measures, often just days after receiving significant campaign contributions. So, when UN officials 'urge faster reconstruction,' one might wonder if they’ve simply forgotten which legislative bodies are funding the demolition rather than the rebuilding. It's a miracle of
doublethink that the same governments who arm the wrecking ball then express 'concern' about the aftermath. Perhaps they believe 'humanitarian aid' magically conjures buildings from thin air, while the next F-16 package (paid for by US taxpayers) ensures no one in Gaza gets too comfortable.
