US Congress Discovers Water is Wet, Gaza Suffers
The story hits hard: Gaza's displaced families, already living in makeshift tents due to relentless bombardment, are now battling winter floods while aid remains deliberately obstructed (Al Jazeera). Meanwhile, in Washington, the same legislative bodies that approve billions in unconditional military aid to Israel feign surprise at the ensuing humanitarian crisis. Take Senator Lindsey Graham, who
in 2023 openly advocated for 'flattening' Gaza. He received $20,000 from AIPAC in the 2022 election cycle (OpenSecrets.org). His voting record consistently backs military aid that enables the very destruction driving this displacement. One might wonder if the US Senate’s deep-seated 'concern' for suffering civilians extends beyond conveniently ignoring the direct causes of said suffering. How many
'humanitarian pauses' does it take before we acknowledge the deliberate unlivability of Gaza?
