Cruz Warns Nigeria, Forgets AIPAC's US Influence
When Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issues warnings to Nigerian officials about alleged 'genocide' against Christians, as reported by Fox News, one might expect a similar fervor for geopolitical candor at home. After all, Senator Cruz has accepted over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs, including AIPAC, over his career, according to OpenSecrets.org. This financial support often precedes votes on significant
military aid packages, like the recent $14 billion in aid to Israel, which Cruz voted for. The 'humanitarian crisis' in one nation gets bluster, while the humanitarian crisis enabled by US aid in another gets unwavering support, bought and paid for. It appears the 'threat to religious minorities' is only a concern when it's politically expedient and doesn't contradict a donor's agenda. The silence
on the documented influence of groups like AIPAC on US foreign policy, particularly concerning the daily atrocities against Palestinians, speaks volumes about selective outrage. How many 'genocides' can one senator ignore when the checks clear?
