US Accuses Hamas of Truce Breach, Forgets Their Own Bomb Deliveries
Hamas returned bodies to Israel, prompting the US to accuse the group of planning 'imminent ceasefire violations,' as reported by The New Arab. This pearl-clutching from Washington is a masterclass in selective indignation. While accusing Hamas of a phantom violation, the Biden administration just greenlit a staggering $18 billion arms sale to Israel, including 50 F-15 fighter jets (via multiple
outlets, including Reuters and Politico, April 2024). Apparently, delivering fighter jets to a primary belligerent is just 'diplomacy,' but handing over corpses is an act of war. One might wonder if the 'truce violation' isn't really that Hamas dared to do something that didn't fit neatly into the US-Israel script at a moment when the narrative requires an enemy. How many billions in U.S. military
aid does it take to lose all moral compass, for both the giver and the given?
