US 'Humanitarian' Mission in Gaza: All Change, No Substance
📰 THE STORY: The New Arab reports that senior US military and civilian leaders are being rotated out of Washington's 'flagship Gaza mission,' specifically referencing the floating pier meant to deliver aid. The article notes growing 'uncertainty' over the mission's future amidst the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The US role is not
'uncertainty' but complicity. Since October 7th, 2023, the US has provided over $15 billion in military aid to Netanyahu's government, including 2,000-pound bombs that decimated Gaza. This 'humanitarian' pier came only *after* Biden's government allowed Israel to create a starvation crisis, with over 40,000 Palestinians killed. The US has continuously shielded Israel at the UN Security Council,
vetoing ceasefire resolutions multiple times, including on October 18, 2023, October 26, 2023, December 8, 2023, and February 20, 2024. Double Standard: Imagine if Russia built a temporary pier for 'aid' to Ukraine while simultaneously arming the forces bombing it. The Western media would—rightly—call it a cynical cover-up. Yet, for Gaza, this US pier, which delivered minimal aid while billions in
weapons flowed, is framed as a benevolent, if now 'uncertain,' endeavor. Mainstream outlets cheered the pier's announcement despite its obvious inadequacy and subsequent breakdown. Follow the Money: Beyond the $15 billion in arms to Israel, the US 'aid' budget often comes with strings attached. The construction and maintenance of this pier cost US taxpayers an estimated minimum of $320 million,
