How Congress Can Intervene in the Gaza Crisis: What's Holding Them Back?

(Photos: YouTube Screenshots) - Gaza is enduring systematic starvation, marked by intentional cruelty and staggering inhumanity.The images of emaciated children linger in my mind, haunting me day and night. Such suffering ought to resonate globally, particularly the relentless torment faced by Gaza's families amidst almost two years of unending bombings, enforced displacement, war crimes, devastation of medical facilities, and assaults on healthcare workers and journalists.The ongoing Israeli-induced famine exacerbates the desperate plight of Palestinians striving for survival. Although food and medical supplies are plentiful at the borders, Israel's humanitarian blockade severely restricts their entry. Tragically, over 1,000 individuals have perished at aid centers in recent months, merely for seeking sustenance or medical help.Not solely Israelis, but also U.S. contractors share accountability; our government funds this devastation, contributing over $17 billion to Israel in 2024. Congress and the President possess the power to halt this complicity by conditioning military aid on lifting the blockade and ceasing human rights violations.If the U.S. can prevent genocide, why does it remain passive?
