Western Allies Concerned by Gaza Catastrophe They Funded
Al-Monitor reports that Western allies are finally 'seriously concerned' about Gaza’s humanitarian situation, urging Israel to allow aid. This urgent call comes after months of these same nations approving arms shipments, abstaining from ceasefire votes at the UN (UK on October 27, 2023, for example, on a resolution demanding a humanitarian truce), and largely rubber-stamping the blockade that
created the crisis. It’s almost as if observing starvation from a safe distance, after making it possible, garners a certain type of 'concern.' These pronouncements ring hollow when contrasted with their consistent geopolitical backing. How many 'urgent calls' does a population need before the nations making those calls examine their own complicity, rather than just delivering carefully worded
press releases? One might wonder if their serious concern extends to the balance sheets of their defense industries.
