Weather Becomes Weapon; US Funds Missile Shields, Not Tent Heaters
When Al Jazeera highlights hypothermia claiming infant lives in Gaza tents, the silence from certain news channels is deafening. They'll show you harrowing images, perhaps a humanitarian appeal, but rarely connect the dots to who's enabling the deprivation. The context they omit is crucial: this 'natural' catastrophe is exacerbated by a deliberate blockade, an ongoing siege, and systematic
destruction of infrastructure funded, in part, by generous US taxpayer dollars. For instance, in 2023, while Gazans struggled for shelter, Senator Lindsey Graham, who received $72,500 from pro-Israel groups , advocated for billions in additional aid to Israel ( H.R. 6126 ). Funny how 'humanitarian aid' consistently flows one way, while the other side gets bombs and blockades, leaving them to
weather literal storms with insufficient shelter, medicine, or heat. One might wonder who profits from such brutal irony?
