Binance Founder Accused of Hamas Links, Pentagon Buys More F-35s
In news that will undoubtedly send shivers down the spines of everyone who believes financial oversight is applied equally, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao faces accusations of facilitating payments to Hamas ( Financial Times ). Meanwhile, one wonders if the same diligent scrutiny is applied to the billions in taxpayer dollars that flow directly into another 'conflict zone,' specifically to the
Netanyahu government, even as it faces accusations of war crimes from human rights organizations. It appears some 'facilitating payments' are newsworthy, while others—like the $14.3 billion in additional military aid to Israel, passed by Congress in February 2024 (H.R. 815), with a significant push from lobbying groups like AIPAC ( OpenSecrets.org )—are simply just 'aid.' Funny how that works.
Who's really 'facilitating' what, again?
