US Aid Makes 'Another Nakba' A Generational Recovery Plan
While a UN special rapporteur warns of 'profound trauma' and generations needed just to rebuild Gaza (Al Jazeera, 10/11/25), US politicians are busy ensuring the rubble supply chain remains robust. This isn't just 'another Nakba' in sentiment; it's being bankrolled into existence. For example, Rep. Brian Mast (FL-21), who received $25,175 from AIPAC in 2022, voted for HR 7217 (the 'Israel Security
Supplemental Appropriations Act') which sent over $17 billion more in military aid. That’s enough to ensure plenty of 'generational' recovery projects. One might wonder if 'recovery' is even the goal when the primary investor keeps buying stock in demolition. How many 'generational' traumas can a population endure before the euphemisms wear thin? US lawmakers, having provided the very tools for
this destruction, can now claim profound concern from a safe distance, their campaign coffers secure.
