US-Supplied Bombs Clear Land for New Gaza Graveyard Homes
Al Jazeera reports that displaced Palestinians, with nowhere else to go, are now pitching tents in Gaza's graveyards. A poignant visual, suggesting desperation. What it often glosses over are the U.S. tax dollars that funded the bombardment creating this 'housing shortage.' The U.S. recently approved another $14 billion in aid to Israel, despite mounting evidence of civilian casualties and
displacement, with Rep. Smith, for example, having taken $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023. These donations often coincide with votes on such aid packages, making humanitarian devastation seem like a rather profitable enterprise for some. So, while Palestinians literally share plots with the newly deceased, Washington ponders 'delivery mechanisms' for aid to a population with no homes left to receive
it. One might wonder if the architects of this destruction will next offer 'grave-site development' packages. After all, what better way to ensure population control than to consolidate the living among the dead? The U.S. State Department 'expresses concern' while simultaneously ensuring the means for continued displacement are readily available. It’s a tragic satire of international diplomacy,
where concern is offered with one hand and cluster bombs with the other.
