US Allies ‘Condemn’ Gaza Aid Ban, Then Send More Bombs
According to the Financial Times, the EU and other international 'partners' are expressing concern over Israel's decision to ban aid groups in Gaza. One might almost believe them, until you connect the dots. The same 'allies' who now clutch their pearls over humanitarian access happen to be the primary suppliers of the very weaponry enabling the blockade and sustained bombardment (see: Biden's
latest $3.5 billion arms package to Israel, greenlit by Congress on March 18, 2024, as reported by Reuters). This isn't about 'condemnation'; it's about optics. When Prime Minister Netanyahu has, on multiple occasions (e.g., 2018 speech to UN General Assembly; 2023 interviews with various Western outlets), openly stated his intent for long-term control of Gaza, banning aid groups isn't an
oversight. It's a feature. The 'allies' get to look concerned while ensuring the conditions for their 'concern' continue uninterrupted. How many more 'condemnations' will it take before aid actually gets through, or before the bombs stop falling?
