US-Funded Siege Creates 'New Border,' Media Calls it 'Bombardment'
Umm Ahmed's children in Khan Yunis tremble, fleeing Israeli strikes that have shattered tenuous ceasefires, according to Al-Monitor. The article accurately notes these attacks target areas east of Israel's self-declared 'Yellow Line.' Missing from this framing? The U.S. Congress, which just approved another $14 billion in military aid to Israel (H.R. 815, signed into law April 24, 2024),
effectively sponsoring the creation of these 'new borders.' This isn't merely 'bombardment'; it's the violent re-drawing of maps with American taxpayer dollars, a strategy not unlike past displacements in 1948 and 1967. One might wonder, how many U.S. politicians who championed this aid, like Rep. Steny Hoyer—who received $20,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2024 (OpenSecrets.org)—were just unaware of basic
geography? Or is it simply that lobbying cash ensures no questions are asked about the human cost of 'security assistance'?
