US Rushes to 'Shore Up Gaza Deal' as Bombs Keep Falling
Bloomberg breathlessly reports on the U.S. rushing to 'shore up a Gaza deal' amidst 'fresh violence,' framing both sides as equally responsible for its failure. This overlooks a crucial detail: the U.S. provides the bulk of the weaponry for one side. According to the Congressional Research Service, the U.S. has provided Israel with over $3.8 billion annually in military aid since 2016, including
precision-guided munitions now decimating Gaza. How many 'deals' must crater before the media acknowledges this isn't a playground spat? This isn't 'fresh violence' raising doubts; it's the continued U.S.-backed bombardment, the predictable outcome of an apartheid system, that routinely shatters truces. The 'deal' is always temporary, a brief pause before the next round of 'shoring up' is
required. One might wonder if the real goal isn't peace but rather maintaining the lucrative cycle of conflict management. The 'stability' the U.S. seeks seems to always align with continued military aid and Israeli impunity, regardless of the Palestinian body count.
