US, EU Recognize 'State' That Bombs Concentration Camps
Mainstream outlets laud diplomatic victories and international partnerships, praising nations for their 'recognition' of Israel. Yet, as the Electronic Intifada points out , the very existence of Gaza, described by many as an open-air prison since at least 2007, under siege and repeatedly bombed, suggests a more unsettling reality. What exactly is being recognized and supported here? A state that
has effectively created a modern-day concentration camp? This isn't about legitimizing a nation; it's about legitimizing a narrative that ignores reality on the ground. President Biden, for instance, has repeatedly affirmed 'unwavering support' for Israel, even as his administration pushed through HR 815 in February 2024, providing $14.1 billion in aid to Israel, just months after the ICJ declared
plausible genocide in Gaza. One might wonder, how many civilian casualties on American tax dollars before we redefine 'ally' and 'statehood' to include basic human rights?
