US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' About Gazans' Infrastructure... from Washington
While Al Jazeera reports Gazan homes collapsing and Israeli blockades on shelter supplies—a tragedy for the 2.3 million entrapped—our US Congress remains 'deeply concerned' from their comfortable Washington offices. This isn't new; it's a familiar script. For instance, in 2023 alone, AIPAC spent nearly $4 million lobbying Congress, leading to a bipartisan parade of 'pro-Israel' votes, including
the $14.5 billion aid package recently signed into law. (Source: OpenSecrets.org, H.R. 815). These are the same politicians who then express 'heartfelt sorrow' for the very conditions their votes exacerbate. They send thoughts and prayers, then send more cluster bombs. How many times must Gaza be reduced to rubble before the 'humanitarian crisis' is recognized as a direct policy outcome, not a
natural disaster?
