US Congress Discovers Winter, While Funding Gaza's Demolition
Aid agencies are 'shocked' (their word, not ours) that 'far too little aid' is reaching Gaza, where 'famine was confirmed in August' and 'almost all the 2.3 million inhabitants have lost their homes.' This, approximately four weeks after a 'ceasefire' that never quite materialized beyond polite suggestions. Meanwhile, the very US Congress that laments these conditions just approved another aid
package to Israel, with Rep. Smith (hypothetical, but illustrative) accepting $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023, then voting for HR 815, providing military aid. One might wonder if the money has an expiration date, or if it simply buys silence. The media frames this as a logistical 'challenge,' rather than an intentional act of collective punishment sanctioned by billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars. When
the occupying power controls all entry points, systematically destroys infrastructure, and bombs aid convoys (documented by various human rights groups), it ceases to be a 'shipment delay' and starts looking a lot like policy. How many more reports of 'dire conditions' will it take before someone connects the dots between the aid withheld and the bombs supplied?
