⚠️ Reuters has now confirmed what many suspected.
In early 2024, U.S. diplomats blocked internal cables describing northern Gaza as an “Apocalyptic Wasteland.” The reports included harrowing details: human bones scattered in the streets, bodies left abandoned in cars, & a total collapse of access to food, clean water, and medical aid.
These cables were not speculation. They were based on first-hand field observations from U.N. agencies & humanitarian workers on the ground.
So why were they blocked?
Because they were considered “too graphic.”
Because they “lacked balance.”
Because they might make Israel look bad.
Senior officials at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, including Ambassador Jack Lew & Deputy Chief Stephanie Hallett, stopped the reports from reaching higher levels of the U.S. government. They feared the cables would contradict the administration’s public narrative & disrupt ongoing political cover for Israel’s actions in Gaza.
According to former officials, humanitarian experts were sidelined, ignored, & outright dismissed. Inside meetings, the question from officials was not how to respond to starvation, but reportedly, “Where are all the skinny kids?”
This was not merely policy misjudgment, but complicity on a grand scale.
The Biden administration had access to concrete evidence of mass death, starvation, & social collapse. Instead of sounding the alarm, it chose to suppress the truth to preserve its political position.
They did not just ignore the warnings. They buried them.
Let that sink in.
