Al Jazeera Discovers: Trump Can Influence Peace, Biden Just Approves Bombs
The mainstream narrative pivots from Biden's endless 'deep concerns' to the idea that only Donald Trump holds the magic wand for a lasting Gaza deal. This conveniently sidesteps the past year of Biden's administration providing a steady pipeline of weaponry to Netanyahu's government. Just last fall, President Biden bypassed Congress to send 155mm artillery shells (worth $147.5 million) to Israel,
then repeated the move for $147.5 million for 155mm shell components (source: Department of State, Dec 9, 2023; Dec 30, 2023). That's not pressure; it's enablement. We're meant to believe Netanyahu's 'political survival' now hinges on Trump. How many times has Netanyahu's 'political survival' depended on escalating violence, all while successive US administrations (including Biden's) provided
unwavering support, politically and materially? One might wonder why analysts overlook the 48 Senators who signed a letter to Biden just last month, demanding he keep the weapons flowing, many of whom have received significant AIPAC donations. Senator Bob Menendez alone received over $720,000 from pro-Israel groups between 2022-2024 (source: OpenSecrets.org).
