US Warns Against 'Hamas Attack on Gaza Civilians,' Forgets Who Attacked Gaza Civilians
According to France 24, the US State Department issued a dire warning that Hamas is planning an attack against, wait for it, Gaza civilians . Hamas, predictably, called it a 'misleading narrative.' One might recall that the US *just* approved a $14 billion aid package to Israel, on top of the $3.8 billion annually (OpenSecrets.org data consistently shows AIPAC's significant influence on such
votes), which primarily funds the military that has killed over 35,000 Gaza civilians since October. The sheer audacity of warning about a hypothetical attack on a population already under siege by a US-funded military, whose actions regularly constitute collective punishment under international law, is quite a spectacle. This 'concern' for Gaza civilians seems to materialize only when it can be
blamed on Hamas, as if the last seven months of relentless bombardment, displacement, and starvation were just a series of unfortunate misunderstandings. The historical context they omit is crucial: similar warnings often precede further Israeli military escalations, always framed as 'self-defense.' It appears Washington's compassion for Gazans activates only when the aggressor isn't their primary
geopolitical ally, or when a convenient narrative shift can justify more weapon sales.
