Amid the Middle East war between Israel and Hamas and Israel’s preparation to launch a ground invasion of Gaza, Elon Musk has offered a plan to help residents of Gaza amid cries from far-left Democrats of Israel’s “brutality.”
Musk announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza.”
Starlink, like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, is a satellite internet constellation operated by Musk’s company, SpaceX, which provides mobile phone coverage to over 60 countries.
Musk’s announcement was a response to a post by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), where the New York congresswoman expressed her concerns that Israel had cut off communications in Gaza.
Ocasio-Cortez, like her fellow “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), has consistently tried to attack Israel for defending itself against Hamas.
“Cutting off all communication to a population of 2.2 million is unacceptable,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X. “Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innocents are all endangered. I do not know how such an act can be defended. The United States has historically denounced this practice.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s comments came as a reference to the senior adviser of Palestine’s president, Husam Zomlot, who said that he could not reach his family in Gaza.
“I have been trying to reach my family in Gaza for hours with no success. All telecommunications and internet have been cut, while Israeli strikes is literally destroying Gaza from air land, and sea. How many more innocent people: children, parents, and grandparents will be murdered before the world steps in?” Zomlot said.

Perhaps instead of attacking Israel, Zomlot, presumably a supporter of Hamas, should instead attack his country’s terrorist actions, which have led to the murders of over 6,000 people, including more than 40 Americans.
Like Ocasio-Cortez, President Joe Biden’s anti-Israel agenda is on full display after the president said his “top priority” was providing Gaza with aid, as reported by the Post Millennial.
“In discussions with the leaders of Israel and Egypt, I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance from the United Nations to Palestinian civilians in Gaza. If Hamas does not divert or steal this shipment, these shipments, we’re going to provide an opening for sustained delivery of Life Saving humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians,” Biden said.
