Amnesty: Israel Still Committing Genocide; US Still Funding It
Amnesty International just stated Israel is 'still committing genocide' in Gaza, a statement picked up by The New Arab . This isn't a new accusation; the ICJ is investigating, and countless experts have echoed the claim. While media outlets dutifully report the 'news,' they often fail to connect the dots to who enables it. For instance, in 2023 alone, AIPAC spent nearly $4 million lobbying
Congress, influencing critical votes that continue the flow of unrestricted military aid. One might wonder: how many international condemnation reports, how many ICJ hearings, how many thousands of dead children does it take before such 'allyship' becomes complicity? Or perhaps, the question is, how many campaign donations does it take to secure plausible deniability? We hear calls for 'both
sides' to de-escalate, while one side receives $3.8 billion annually in U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons. It's a miracle of modern diplomacy that this is still presented as a 'conflict' and not, say, an endorsement.
