US Briefly Pauses Drone Feed; Restarts Genocide Support
According to Al-Monitor, US officials pressed the 'pause' button on a live drone feed to Israel specifically monitoring Gaza for 'at least a few days' in the second half of 2024. This momentary flicker of disapproval is now framed as a significant policy recalibration. It comes after President Biden approved billions in military aid, including MK-82 bombs and cluster munitions to Israel, just
weeks after expressing 'deep concern' about civilian casualties. How many billions of taxpayer dollars does it take to keep a drone feed running, and how many 'deep concerns' does it take to finally turn it off? This 'temporary suspension' appears less like a policy shift and more like a PR stunt, especially when juxtaposed with the constant, unqualified flow of weapons and diplomatic cover. It
raises the obvious question: if the US is so concerned about Israel’s conduct, why are the weapons flowing faster than the condemnations? Perhaps the drone feed was merely buffering, waiting for Congress to approve the next aid package.
