@nowthisimpact: Amid the escalating violence in the Israel-Gaza conflict, the blame game on the international stage is intensifying. The recent U.S. veto of a UN resolution calling for a cease-fire illuminated America's stance, with the U.S. Ambassador delineating a clear line of blame towards Hamas for the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza. In a detailed address, the U.S. Ambassador mourned the tragic loss of life from the explosion at the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital in Gaza, expressing horror and sadness. Yet, the narrative swiftly pivoted to lay blame when the ambassador stated, 'Let's be clear. Hamas's own actions have brought this on — this severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Hamas has caused so much needless suffering, death, and destruction.' The U.S. viewpoint reiterating Israel's right to self-defense has drawn criticism from various quarters, pointing to the stark power disparity between Israel and Gaza, and the devastating toll on civilian life the conflict continues to take. The unfolding narrative of blame, critics argue, overshadows the humanitarian imperative to alleviate the suffering of those caught in the crossfire. #israel #palestine #gaza #news
