US Offers 'Hope' To Gaza With Ceasefire, After Funding 'Genocide'
The Intercept's piece, "I Have Hope for This Ceasefire, But It Can’t Undo Two Years of Genocide," highlights the despair inherent in celebrating a momentary pause after what it identifies as sustained atrocities. Yet, it skirts the depth of US complicity. For every 'hopeful' headline, there's a Congressional vote like HR 815, passed in April 2024, allocating billions in military aid to Netanyahu's
government. This aid package, supported by politicians who received millions from organizations like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org data confirms AIPAC-aligned PACs and individuals donated over $30 million to federal candidates in the 2022 election cycle), effectively ensures the 'genocide' that ceasefires supposedly 'undo' can resume at full throttle. One might wonder: how many international court
rulings, how many children’s graves, and how much US taxpayer money does it take before such 'hope' is exposed as merely a temporary reprieve, a calculated PR move, for an ethnocentric policy Washington actively bankrolls? It's less a ceasefire and more a reload, paid for by you.
