US Congress 'Deeply Concerned' About Newborn Deaths They Enabled
A newborn starves and freezes to death in Gaza, a direct consequence of what The New Arab politely terms 'Israeli aid hurdles.' But let's be blunt: these aren't hurdles; they are deliberate restrictions on humanitarian aid, enforced by Netanyahu's government. This systematic starvation strategy was infamously dubbed 'putting the Palestinians on a diet' by Israeli officials during previous sieges,
a tactic that evidently remains in vogue. Meanwhile, in Washington, politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham, who famously suggested 'leveling' Gaza, continue to champion unconditional aid to Israel. For instance, OpenSecrets.org shows Graham received $30,200 from AIPAC in 2022 alone. How many innocent lives must be extinguished by 'hurdles' before the US media connects the dots between a
politician's vote for unrestricted funding and the resulting starvation on the ground? Apparently, even a frozen infant can't thaw that particular bias.
