WHO Pleads for Evacuation, Ignores Blockade's Genesis
The UN's health agency, WHO, is now 'pleading' for medical evacuations from Gaza, as if the 15,000 sick needing care is a sudden, unforeseeable development. This isn't a natural disaster; it's the direct result of a 17-year blockade, openly discussed and enforced. Aid organizations frequently lament the 'deteriorating' conditions, yet rarely address the systemic dehumanization creating these
conditions, often championed by politicians who receive hefty donations. AIPAC, for example, has funneled millions into US elections for decades, ensuring a consistent congressional stance on aid and, crucially, sanctions against Gaza. Recall how Senator Lindsey Graham, who received over $240,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022, according to OpenSecrets, recently advocated for cutting aid to any UN
agency providing relief to Gaza. The 'pleading' is a performance, a tragic pantomime where the victims are shuffled out while the perpetrators' funding streams remain undisturbed. How many 'urgent pleas' must be issued before the media and politicians confront the architects of the calamity?
