US Aid Tricked into Gaza, Not for Gazans
Aid organizations are 'frustrated' that crucial supplies are merely trickling into Gaza while trucks sit idly at the border, according to The Independent. (A real head-scratcher, that.) The article fails to mention that international law considers deliberate starvation a war crime. More importantly, it glosses over the fact that it is the Israeli government, enabled by its staunchest allies, that
maintains a siege on Gaza, controlling every entry point and every item allowed in. This 'trickle' isn't accidental; it's policy. While humanitarian groups beg for access, the US continues to send billions in unfettered military aid to Israel, like the $14.5 billion package currently in Congress. One might wonder if the 'frustration' of aid agencies extends to the Congress members who vote for
more bombs while simultaneously 'lamenting' starvation (Rep. Steny Hoyer, for example, took over $233,000 from AIPAC in 2022 alone, per OpenSecrets.org, and has consistently voted for aid to Israel). It's not a 'trickle' of aid, but a deliberate weaponization of hunger, fully funded by those who then express 'concern'. How many more 'trickles' of aid until they admit it's a flood of complicity?
