AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Quite frankly, I think anyone arguing that Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, isn't also America's ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, is probably being willfully obtuse at this point. There remains however a disconnect between the horrifying scenes of engineered starvation in Gaza, and American policy decisions that have directly contributed to that starvation, above and beyond American material aid for the IOF and "defensive" weapons systems like the Iron Dome. The fact is that not only are we funding Israel's "blockade" keeping food and vital medicines out of Gaza, but we've also helped engineer the food insecurity for Palestinians on the ground there, that is fueling Israel's successful attempts to engineer a famine. </p><p>I am speaking of course of the bipartisan US attacks on U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, or UNRWA. As you may recall, the vast majority of American politicians responded to what we now know are false, or at least wholly unproven accusations that UNRWA was somehow working with Hamas on October 7th or in the ensuing fall out, by voting to cut off all funding to UNRWA. Furthermore, then president Joe Biden actively encouraged the rest of the Pig Empire to do the same; despite the fact that everyone involved was universally warned by human rights and refugee aid organizations that UNRWA was literally the only organization in the world capable of preventing hunger and deprivation in Gaza. Or perhaps you don't remember, because it's very clear that a pro-genocide US corporate media has no interest in linking bipartisan attacks on UNWRA, to the engineered famine we're watching Israel enforce in Gaza right now. </p><p>Naturally of course, because the Trumpenreich exists to make everything terrible about America even worse, a GOP-dominated appropriations committee has recently decided that even as other Pig Empire nations have restored funding to UNWRA and the world is watching Israel's engineered famine starve literal children to death on livestream in Gaza, it would be a good idea to make funding cuts and bans on working with UNWRA permanent. </p><p><a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/07/29/gaza-unrwa-aid-congress-republicans/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theintercept.com/2025/07/29/ga</span><span class="invisible">za-unrwa-aid-congress-republicans/</span></a> (archived: <a href="https://archive.ph/ctBWL" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/ctBWL</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>)</p><p>"The GOP-dominated House Appropriations Committee last week voted to bar financial support for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, long the main hub of aid distribution in Gaza.</p><p>If passed by Congress, the ban would reinforce a financial blockade on UNRWA that began last year as Israel subjected the agency to an intense pressure campaign.</p><p>The latest move, however, comes amid an increasingly dire situation, as U.N. experts decried a full-fledged famine, and other Western countries are holding emergency meetings to address the crisis."</p><p>Given that I think pretending a Palestinian refugee aid organization is a terrorist cell based on disproven accusations by Israel, and making a political point of denying funding to that organization in the middle of a purposely engineered famine kinda speak for themselves, I'll keep this brief. This shit is evil, the GOP is making the starvation worse, and no matter how much Trump cries about it on TV, that means that we're directly starving babies in Gaza, in addition to all the other ways we enable the genocide. This is America's famine, and the tracks to this point were laid down before Trump was even elected; even though he bears all responsibility for continuing and indeed expediting the genocide since then.</p><p>"Congress first banned funding for UNRWA in March 2024 as Israel pushed allegations that the agency’s employees were involved in the October 7, 2023, attacks. Democratic President Joe Biden had already paused funding for the agency.</p><p>The House and Senate are working to replace that appropriations package with a new one for the next financial year. On July 23, the House Appropriations Committee passed a bill focusing on funding for national security and State Department programs.</p><p>The $46 billion bill would slash funding for many foreign aid programs and ban funding for UNRWA, while handing Israel $3.3 billion to buy more American arms."</p><p>All of which brings us to the reality that the US corporate media has no interest in linking our attacks on UNWRA and its funding, with the famine advocates predicted would be inevitable when the entire government agreed to do so under the guise of "stopping Hamas."</p><p>"The link between the pressure campaign against UNRWA and the scenes playing out in Gaza now is clear, Asi said, even if Israeli and U.S. officials don’t want to admit it.</p><p>“Those lines have not really been connected, between defunding the largest humanitarian response agency in Gaza with obvious humanitarian disaster after. They were warned,” she said."</p><p>Folks, whether they want to report it on the 6 o'clock news or not, this is America's genocide; Israel is just the US client state conducting it.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Famine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Famine</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/UNWRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UNWRA</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a></p>
