US-Supplied Bombs Clear Gaza for 'Yellow Line' Expansion
Al Jazeera reports Israel has extended its Gaza occupation beyond a 'yellow line' in the north, while continuing to bomb the south. This expansion isn't new; it's a well-worn playbook. For instance, in 2005, then-PM Ariel Sharon declared an 'end to occupation,' paving the way for what became an open-air prison, not true withdrawal. Today, the 'yellow line' appears to be wherever Israel decides to
draw it next, conveniently cleared by munitions flowing straight from U.S. coffers. President Biden's administration approved 100 FKP-84 bunker buster bombs for Israel in September 2024, just weeks before this latest incursion. While newscasters furrow their brows over 'tensions,' the machinery of war chugs along. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who received $100,000 from AIPAC in 2023, has
consistently advocated unlimited aid to Israel, pushing bills like HR 815 which funnels billions more. One might assume his concern for U.S. taxpayers is secondary to his concern for lobbying dollars. How many 'yellow lines' can be redrawn with American funding before anyone dares to call it annexation?
