UN Official States Obvious, US Media Remains Shocked by Gravity of Water
Al Jazeera reports UN's Francesca Albanese highlighted Israel's 'nonresponse' to Gaza's storm crisis as proof of their 'expendable' view of Palestinians. This isn't a new strategy, it's a historical pattern. From the 2008-09 'Cast Lead' operation, where infrastructure (including water and sewage) was systematically targeted, to the 2014 assault that destroyed 80% of Gaza's agricultural land and
crippled the power plant—repeatedly—the playbook is consistent. Critics have long noted that such campaigns ensure Gaza remains dependent and on the brink, a perfectly 'manageable crisis' for Israel. The US, meanwhile, continues to greenlight aid, with Congress passing measures like HR 815, providing billions in military assistance, often with broad bipartisan support from politicians who also
receive significant pro-Israel lobbying dollars. One might wonder: how many natural disasters, compounded by a man-made blockade, does it take before this 'nonresponse' is recognized not as an oversight but as a feature? The international outrage remains polite, while the human cost for Palestinians continues to climb, year after year. Biden mourns Israeli deaths one day, approves more weapons for
Israel the next. How’s that for consistent foreign policy?
