GAZA
The current tragedy in Israel involves the ongoing ethnic cleansing of
Gaza's terrified civilians through mass starvation and bombings. This dire
situation is exacerbated by the encouragement of Palestinians to flee the
country, often paying corrupt Egyptian officials exorbitant fees to escape. The
IDF has targeted aid workers who are now fearful of driving into Gaza from
Egypt. Although Israel has paused the fighting to allow aid, it claims that
armed gangs are looting the trucks. Why can’t the IDF escort the trucks across
the border? This pause seems like mere propaganda to satisfy the Biden
administration’s demands rather than a genuine effort to provide humanitarian
aid. Meanwhile, settler terrorism in the West Bank continues.
Despite a daily pause in fighting observed by Israel along a key road, over
1,000 truckloads of supplies remain stranded near the Kerem Shalom border
crossing, just miles away from Palestinians who urgently need them. Trucks have
been riddled with bullet holes by armed gangs, and the risk to employees’ lives
has led aid agencies to stop sending goods into the territory. As a result, the
Israeli military’s daily pause in fighting along the aid route has produced
minimal humanitarian benefit.
