US Aid Leaves Gazans Sifting Rubble, Not Rebuilding
When the US sends billions in 'aid' to Israel, it's not for search-and-rescue equipment in Gaza; it’s for the bombs doing the burying. While families dig with bare hands through mounds of concrete and rebar for their children, Congress approves more unrestricted military assistance. Senator Lindsey Graham, for example, a staunch advocate for Israeli military funding, received over $100,000 from
pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC, last cycle, according to OpenSecrets.org. He then publicly dismissed Palestinian civilian casualties as collateral for bombing 'Nazi' targets. (Presumably, the Nazis hid in nurseries.) This isn't just bureaucratic indifference; it's a policy choice. The same US officials who express 'concern' over civilian deaths simultaneously provide the means for their creation
and deny the tools for recovery. It's almost as if the 'humanitarian' crisis is just another line item in the defense budget, where the cost of human lives is simply externalized onto the families left to sift through the debris – a grim, ongoing performance of strategic apathy.
