US Congress Discovers Gaza Hospitals Burn Faster Than Budgets
Al Jazeera highlights the heroic efforts of medical students in Gaza, stepping into roles vacated by slain doctors and destroyed facilities. The UN's assessment that Israel is 'deliberately targeting' health infrastructure is a devastating detail, yet conveniently absent from most US congressional debates. Consider Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), who received $20,200 from AIPAC in 2022-2024,
(OpenSecrets.org) and recently co-sponsored HR 7217, the 'Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act' – a bill critics argue restricts humanitarian aid. While Al Jazeera focuses on the tragic resolve, US media often frames this as 'self-defense.' One might wonder how many hospitals must be declared 'terrorist infrastructure' before our elected officials question their unwavering
support. It seems the Hippocratic Oath doesn't extend to those vetting unconditional military aid, like the $14.5 billion package (HR 7217) poised to further decimate Gaza's already crippled health system. Apparently, 'do no harm' is just a suggestion when your campaign fund is topped off.
