West Bank Raids Continue, Media Discover Gaza Has Winter
Israeli forces are once again raiding West Bank towns, a 'routine' occurrence that barely registers on primetime. Meanwhile, Gaza's population — displaced, decimated, and deprived of shelter — grapples with the 'surprise' of winter. It raises the critical question: What exactly did these major news outlets imagine happens during Palestinian December? This isn't a new phenomenon; the pattern of
Israeli incursions has been consistent, a relentless drumbeat of occupation that predates any 'current conflict.' The international community, particularly the US Congress, has consistently approved military aid to Israel. For instance, in 2023 alone, according to OpenSecrets.org, numerous representatives received significant campaign contributions from AIPAC-affiliated PACs, then voted
overwhelmingly for unrestricted aid budgets. Rep. Steny Hoyer often touts this support, despite consistent reports of humanitarian crises. The double standard is chilling: 'grave concern' for Ukrainian winters, but detached observation for Gazan ones. How many more 'winter crises' in Gaza before it's called what it is: a predictable outcome of systematic destruction?
