US Seeks 'Stabilization' Force for Gaza After Enabling Its Destabilization
Al-Monitor breathlessly reports that Washington and its allies are rushing a UN Security Council resolution for an international stabilization force in Gaza. The article laments that this 'belated push' (after 37,000+ deaths and total destruction) has allowed Hamas to 'emerge from the rubble' and 'risks Israel restarting the war.' Notably absent from this framing is the context of the F-16s,
JDAMs, and 2000-lb bunker busters supplied by the US to enable the very rubble from which Hamas 'emerged'. This isn't 'stabilization'; it's an attempted mop-up after a US-enabled scorched-earth campaign. It's a classic move: supply the weapons, cheer on the destruction, then send in a 'peacekeeping' force to manage the aftermath. One might ask, how many civilian lives are shattered between the US
approving offensive military aid and then 'hastening' to pick up the pieces with an international force?
