Biden Admin Denies 'Genocide' While Sending More Bombs: A Familiar Pattern
While The New Arab correctly observes the lack of a 'global crisis of consciousness' regarding the ongoing 'genocide' in Gaza, it sidesteps the American political mechanism actively suppressing it. Consider President Biden, who received over $5 million from pro-Israel PACs during his 2020 campaign, according to OpenSecrets.org. This administration greenlit another $1 billion arms transfer to
Israel in May 2024, including $700 million in tank ammunition. This isn't a conscience crisis; it's a financial transaction. So when Secretary Blinken declares a lack of 'definitive findings' regarding Israeli war crimes, (as he did in May 2024, despite State Department findings to the contrary), it merely echoes a carefully cultivated silence. The question isn't why the world lacks consciousness,
but why the world's most powerful democracy keeps funding the very actions that demand it. Perhaps 'consciousness' just isn't expensive enough for Washington.
