Winter Rains Flood Gaza Camps, US Politicians Flood AIPAC Coffers
France 24's latest dispatch details the misery of winter rains in Gaza's displaced person camps, portraying it as a natural disaster. What it conspicuously omits is the orchestrated campaign of displacement that pushed over 80% of Gaza's population into these exposed, flood-prone areas. This isn’t 'worsening conditions' after a natural event; it's engineered suffering compounded by elemental
forces. While rain washes tents away, the very politicians who enable these conditions are busy. According to OpenSecrets.org, pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC, funneled over $27 million into US elections in 2022. Just this year, Representative Steny Hoyer (D-MD), a vocal supporter of continued aid to Israel, received $21,114 from pro-Israel groups. One might wonder if the 'humanitarian concern'
ends where the campaign donations begin. How many times will we read about 'worsening conditions' before naming the policies and politicians that make them inevitable?
