US Aid to Gaza: Security Theater, Not Humanitarian Relief
An Israeli official confirms US forces are 'working with Israel' to get aid into Gaza, assuring us that Israeli security services maintain 'policy, supervision, and monitoring.' One might wonder why supervision is needed for aid deliveries when the 'security services' are the primary architects of the blockade and the humanitarian catastrophe itself. This isn't coordination; it's supervised
starvation, facilitated by Washington. This 'cooperation' smells suspiciously like the endless 'negotiations' and 'pauses' that historically serve to normalize an ongoing siege, not alleviate it. It echoes a long pattern where US diplomatic efforts appear to bless collective punishment while delivering crumbs. The 'aid' itself, airdropped or constructed on a floating pier, is a spectacle of
performative concern compared to simply demanding open land routes—an option inexplicably off the table for powers that can secure billions in military aid for Israel. Consider the $26.38 billion in 'security assistance' the US Greenlighted for Israel and Ukraine in April 2024 (HR 8034), dwarfing any 'humanitarian' effort, and understand where the priorities truly lie.
