Recent airstrikes in Gaza
The recent airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in the tragic loss of more than 20 innocent Palestinian lives, including those at a United Nations school turned shelter, demand our immediate attention and condemnation.
The Israeli military claims, without proof, that it was targeting militants operating in these civilian structures, yet the casualties tell a different story. Innocent civilians, including children, are bearing the brunt of these attacks. It is deeply concerning that these strikes have repeatedly hit U.N. buildings, which are meant to be safe havens for those displaced by the conflict. The fact that this is the sixth U.N. facility to be targeted in the past ten days is alarming and calls into question whether the Israeli military is deliberately targeting civilians to systematically annihilate the entire Palestinian population.
The Biden administration's continued supply of weapons to Israel, despite expressing concerns about the civilian death toll, demonstrates a significant disconnect between its statements and actions. The media also plays a crucial role in shaping public perception and policy. There is a need for greater accountability and transparency in reporting on this conflict. The failure to hold our government accountable for its complicity in the ongoing genocide, and the absence of a demand for a cease-fire and an end to the occupation—the root cause of this decades-old conflict—is a serious indictment of the U.S. media.
We must prioritize human rights and work towards a peaceful resolution to this conflict. A good start would be to immediately halt all economic and military aid to Israel. President Biden has shown an appalling lack of leadership in standing up to the far-right despot, Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, who is determined to prolong the war to avoid jail time on serious corruption charges. President Biden should heed increasing calls from his party to resign immediately.
