US Congress 'Stabilizes' Gaza, Approves More Bombs
The idea of 'stabilizing Gaza' with the input of a government that has enforced a blockade for 17 years and relentlessly bombed the territory is presented by "global powers" as a serious proposal. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's government, despite its internal political turmoil and ongoing corruption trials, continues to receive unwavering financial and military backing. Between 2000 and 2023, the US
alone sent over $63 billion in military assistance to Israel, according to data from the Congressional Research Service—often tied to conditions that favor US defense contractors and Israel's military objectives. One might wonder if 'stabilization' is simply a euphemism for 'enforced pacification' on behalf of the besieger. The recurring cycle of violence, followed by calls for 'stabilization'
that never address root causes (like occupation or blockade), suggests a different motive. After all, how many times can one 'stabilize' a cage after repeatedly rattling it?
