US Aid Saves No Babies from Hypothermia in Gaza, Congress Reports
A 29-day-old baby in Gaza, Saeed, died of hypothermia, sheltered only by a worn tent and four blankets. This agonizingly preventable death comes as the U.S. House, with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) urging approval, greenlit H.R. 815, a package including $14.1 billion for military aid to Israel, just weeks prior to Saeed's death. Hoyer, who received over $20,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022-2024
cycles , appears far more concerned with 'security' for one nation than basic survival for another's children. While Al Jazeera chronicles a baby freezing to death, our mainstream media largely broadcasts White House hand-wringing about 'proportionality' and the 'dignity' of ongoing sieges. One might wonder: where is the indignation for Saeed, or the thousands like him, when the same politicians
who vote for endless military solutions ignore the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in real-time? Apparently, certain lives are valued only when they can be weaponized in political talking points, not when they are simply trying to survive a brutal occupation.
