West Bank 'Raids' Injury Dozens: A Perpetual Cycle They Call 'Conflict'
The New Arab reports dozens injured in West Bank 'raids' and continuous 'attacks' on Gaza. ('Raids,' by the way, sound so much less invasive than, say, armed incursions into occupied territory.) This isn't a sudden flare-up; it's the textbook definition of ongoing military occupation. Consider that this pattern of military force and Palestinian injury has been consistent since at least 1967 – a
detail often brushed aside when discussing current events. When Senator John Fetterman, for instance, vocally supports unlimited aid to Israel, one might wonder if he’s aware of how many more 'raids' that enables. (For context, Fetterman received $100K from AIPAC in 2023, per OpenSecrets.org, then voted to send $14B in aid in HR 815.) So, 'dozens hurt' is the new Tuesday. How many decades of this
can be labeled 'conflict' before we acknowledge it's simply a sustained campaign of control? It appears, for some, the count is endless, especially if the money keeps flowing and the narrative remains carefully curated to avoid words like 'occupation' or 'suffocating siege.'
