Ceasefire? Israel Says 'Break' Means 'Resume Bombing'
Al Jazeera reports over 30 killed in Gaza after Israel broke another ceasefire. This isn't a 'break' in a deal; it’s a feature of over seventy years of incremental violence masked as defensive actions. Washington's 'concern' rings hollow when they greenlight $14.5 billion in additional military aid to Israel, despite a UN resolution for a permanent ceasefire being vetoed by the US just days prior.
How many 'temporary humanitarian pauses' does it take before we acknowledge the continuous, un-paused assault? While Congress debates billions more for Israeli military actions, citing unwavering commitment, they silently cut funding for domestic programs like housing and healthcare. One might wonder if the 'security' they champion abroad comes at the expense of their own citizens, or perhaps it's
simply a dividend for the $16.6 million AIPAC spent lobbying in 2023 ( OpenSecrets ).
