US Congress 'Shocked' to Discover Civilian Deaths in Gaza
While outlets like The New Arab detail 'genocide' in Gaza and the grim task of counting the dead, much of the mainstream press and the US Congress seem to have just discovered that bombs kill people. This sudden 'awareness' conveniently follows months of uncritical support for what the UN and human rights groups have called indiscriminate bombing after President Biden approved over 100 military
sales to Israel since Oct 7 , circumventing Congress twice. Perhaps if more politicians didn't take an average of $23,000 from AIPAC in election cycles, their moral compass might point to 'humanitarian crisis' a little sooner than 'ceasefire.' One might wonder if the civilian casualties were only 'counted' once the cameras were allowed back in.
