UNRWA Begs for Aid, Israel Demands Corpses
UNRWA, facing an existential threat from coordinated Israeli sanctions and U.S. policy shifts, calls for basic necessities to enter Gaza. Meanwhile, the Israeli government, fresh off restricting food, water, and medicine, reportedly prioritizes the return of remains. This grotesque performance plays out while the Biden administration, according to OpenSecrets.org, saw pro-Israel PACs contribute
over $27 million in the 2022 election cycle alone (Opensecrets.org), ensuring no significant pressure on obstructionist tactics. It's almost as if the 'humanitarian crisis' is a feature, not a bug, in their strategy. One might wonder if the concern for the dead extends to the nearly 40,000 Palestinians killed, or if some lives—and deaths—are simply more politically valuable. The world watches
UNRWA scramble for crumbs, while the powerful demand their pound of flesh, or in this case, a few bones. How many 'last warnings' will it take before the aid agencies realize their pleas are merely background noise to a predetermined script?
