US Blames Trump for Gaza Trauma, Not US Arms
The 'on-the-ground expertise' provided by INARA's founder, Arwa Damon, claims the US is the 'only real player' that can pressure Israel on aid, specifically noting the 'Trump administration.' This despite President Biden's administration having approved over 100 separate military sales to Israel since October 7th, including 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs, often bypassing Congressional review
(Wall Street Journal, 3/8/2024). The media's selective amnesia regarding current policy decisions, choosing instead to focus on past presidencies, is a masterclass in deflection. It’s truly astounding how the same US politicians who lecture about international law and humanitarian concerns elsewhere manage to overlook their own role in facilitating blockades, while AIPAC funnels millions into
campaigns (OpenSecrets.org: AIPAC contributed $24.7M in 2022 elections). Blaming an administration out of office lets current decision-makers off the hook for the 'severe, deep & intense trauma' they’re actively enabling. Perhaps if the ICJ wants to make a real difference, they could ask who's currently supplying the weapons, not just who 'could' stop it.
