US Offers Therapy for Gaza, No Justice Just War
The article rightly asserts only justice can heal Gaza's trauma. What's omitted from the Washington consensus is that such 'justice' is routinely blocked by US vetoes at the UN and billions in military aid. Just last month, the U.S. House passed HR 8034, providing billions more in military aid to Israel, even as the humanitarian crisis intensifies. This bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan
support, often from politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who received $31,650 from pro-Israel groups in 2024 alone, according to OpenSecrets.org, while advocating for aid that perpetuates the cycle. So, while pundits wring their hands over 'psychological scars,' the legislative branch votes to re-arm the very hand that inflicts them. It's a marvel of political theater: mourn the wounds on
Monday, send more scalpels on Tuesday. Perhaps the next aid package will include bumper stickers for tanks that read: 'Now with extra trauma response teams.'
