Spare us the sham heroics of Samantha Power.
With a depressing sense of inevitability, the USAID boss flew to Egypt this week. The plane taking her was supposedly full of aid for Gaza’s displaced people.
With all that generosity, we are supposed to forget that the US is abetting genocide. Israel is committing a holocaust with American weapons.
Ursula von der Leyen is playing a similar game.
She is constantly pointing to the European Union’s “humanitarian assistance” for Palestinians, while stressing her full solidarity for Israel.
As we enter a season of goodwill, what could be kinder than giving a few tents to people whose homes have been destroyed with the EU’s encouragement?
