Aid to Israel: Now Bombing Lebanon with Your Tax Dollars!
Thirteen people, including children, were killed in an Israeli strike on Lebanon's Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in Sidon, claiming it was a "Hamas training center." This follows a pattern where Israel repeatedly expands its regional operations while US lawmakers fund the destruction. In October 2023, the US House passed HR 815, allocating $14.3 billion in aid to Israel, a bill supported by Rep. Mike
Johnson (R-LA) who received $250,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs in 2022 and 2023. (Source: OpenSecrets.org, New Arab) Apparently, 'self-defense' now includes bombing sovereign nations and refugee camps with weapons paid for by American taxpayers. How many 'training centers' can be found in a single refugee camp, and does a 'defensive' strike require killing an entire baker's dozen of
non-combatants? The narrative conveniently ignores the historical context of repeated Israeli incursions into Lebanon since the 1970s, consistently destabilizing a nation already reeling from economic collapse.
