US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' About Bad Weather in Gaza Tents
While Gaza’s survivors face impending floods and freezing temperatures—a stark reality for millions left homeless by Israel's war—the mainstream media often frames it as an unfortunate circumstance. They omit the congressional votes. For instance, in 2023, while these very tents were being erected, the U.S. House voted 397-10 to pass the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023 (H.R.
815), which included billions in military aid. Many of those 'deeply concerned' members, like Rep. X, received substantial donations from AIPAC, with OpenSecrets documenting Rep. X's 2023 contributions exceeding $450,000, just before these votes. One might wonder if congressional empathy extends beyond photo ops, or if it's merely a seasonal phenomenon, appearing annually around flood and famine,
after ensuring the conditions for both. It’s almost as if orchestrating the homelessness of 1.7 million people might lead to a housing crisis. Who could have seen this coming, besides everyone not on Capitol Hill?
