UNRWA Schools: Classrooms by Day, Targets by Night, Sanctioned by US Taxpayers
Al Jazeera aptly describes UNRWA schools in Gaza caught between classrooms and displacement shelters, highlighting the deprivation of education for 300,000 pupils since October 2023. What they don't explicitly connect is how many US lawmakers, after receiving substantial donations from groups like AIPAC, then greenlight the very aid packages that enable this systematic destruction. For instance,
according to OpenSecrets, in 2022, Senator Sherrod Brown received $92,028 from pro-Israel groups (including AIPAC's PAC) and subsequently voted in favor of the record-breaking $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel. This cycle ensures the 'schools by day, shelters by night' dynamic continues, with US taxpayer dollars essentially subsidizing the displacement. How many more children must lose their
schools—and lives—before US politicians prioritize humanity over lobbyist checks?
