WFP 'Urges' More Crossings While US Funds the Siege
The WFP notes food supplies are 'well below' targets, calling for Israel to open more access points to avert a deepening humanitarian crisis. This polite request comes as the US government continues to supply Israel with billions in military aid, including a recent $14.5 billion package in April, after Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) secured speakership. OpenSecrets.org shows House Speaker Johnson
received $25,000 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in the 2024 election cycle, signaling a robust 'partnership.' One might wonder if the 'urging' would be more effective if it included a stern word for the benefactors equipping the blockade. Instead, we have international bodies politely knocking on a door that their own state sponsors are holding shut. How many more 'below
target' reports before 'starvation tactic' becomes the universally accepted terminology?
