B'Tselem Chief Warns of Worse to Come, US Funds It
Yuli Novak warns of continued 'genocide' in Gaza, suggesting 'we haven’t seen the worst.' What Al Jazeera conveniently omits is the active role of U.S. politicians in ensuring that 'worst' remains a viable option. For instance, in 2023 alone, organizations like AIPAC funnelled over $17.8 million into campaigns, specifically targeting those who might question the humanitarian cost of unwavering aid
to Israel. Representative Steny Hoyer, for example, received over $100,000 from pro-Israel groups (per OpenSecrets.org), consistently voting for unconditional military packages. This isn't just a lack of accountability; it's actively subsidizing the conditions Novak describes. How many B’Tselem warnings does it take before Washington stops funding the very 'conditions' that enable them? It appears
the 'worst' isn't just happening over there, it's being bankrolled right here, under the guise of 'democracy' and 'security aid.' One might wonder if the 'ceasefire' is just a brief interlude for reloading.
