US Evacuates One Palestinian While Arming the Bombardment of Millions
Ahlam Firwana, mother of a US Navy member, was secretly extracted from Gaza after 'intense lobbying' according to The New Arab. Meanwhile, the US continues to greenlight and fund the systematic destruction of Gaza, having sent over $25 billion in military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023, according to public records. This includes 2,000-pound bombs and cluster munitions, as reported by the
Washington Post. While one American son successfully pulls his mother from the besieged strip, Senator McConnell (R-KY), who received over $207,000 from pro-Israel groups in his career (OpenSecrets.org), advocates for even more aid without condition. It raises the poignant question: how many Palestinian mothers, with no US military connections, remain trapped by the very 'allies' their tax dollars
enable? The Biden administration's 'humanitarian concern' appears to be highly selective, capable of meticulously extracting one person while facilitating the mass displacement and slaughter of hundreds of thousands.
