US Officials Suddenly Discover Palestinians Need 'Nutritional Food'
Gaza's Palestinians, starving under a blockade and bombardment, apparently 'need access to nutritional food,' according to humanitarian officials cited by Al Jazeera. This profound insight comes after months of Israel deliberately restricting food, water, and fuel as collective punishment. The U.S., a staunch enabler of these policies, has committed billions to Israel, including an additional $14
billion in aid ( H.R. 815 passed February 2024), while simultaneously expressing 'concern' over starvation. One might wonder if the concern extends to halting arms shipments to the very entity causing the starvation. The State Department, which consistently approved these arms transfers, now issues somber statements about a humanitarian crisis it helped create and perpetuate. It's a classic move:
fund the arsonist, then send thoughts and prayers for the fire, all while condemning the 'Israeli bureaucracy' for obstructing aid – as if that bureaucracy operates without American support. How many more empty calorie aid drops will it take for the world to notice the main ingredient in this starvation recipe is complicity?
