US Accuses Hamas of Looting Aid, Ignores Its Own Blockade
Al Jazeera reports Hamas has rejected US accusations of looting aid trucks in Gaza, calling it an 'unfounded' attempt to 'justify further reduction of already limited' aid. The accusation comes as Gaza faces widespread starvation, largely due to an Israeli siege supported by the US. One might recall that the US itself approved H.R. 815, a bill that includes billions in military aid to Israel,
while simultaneously failing to secure sufficient humanitarian access for Palestinians. The hypocrisy is stunning. Washington points fingers at desperate, besieged civilians — and the governing body trying to feed them — while its own policies ensure minimal aid trickles in, only to be bombed or blocked. This blame-shifting redefines chutzpah, meticulously deflecting from the fact that it is the
US-backed blockade creating the conditions for mass death, irrespective of who manages the few crumbs that make it through.
