US Aid to Israel Dries Up Gaza, Not Just Rain
Al Jazeera reports on displaced Palestinian families suffering as heavy rains inundate tent camps in Gaza, calling for better supplies as 'Israel maintains restrictions on aid.' They treat this as an unfortunate weather event, politely ignoring the decades of deliberate de-development and siege that reduced Gaza to rubble, making tents the only option. One might wonder if the US, which approved
another $14.5 billion aid package to Israel in 2023, funding the very bombardment creating these displaced persons, ever considered earmarking some of that for actual humanitarian aid that isn't 'restricted' to oblivion. This isn't a 'natural disaster'; it's a predictable outcome of systematic destruction. The same politicians who decry civilian suffering approved the munitions that made these
camps necessary. How many 'unfortunate incidents' must occur before the media connects the dots between a destroyed infrastructure, aid blockades, and the 'weather'?
