Czech Election Winner Discovers 'No Money' For Ukraine, What About Israel?
Andrej Babiš, having just won the Czech election, appears to believe that a nation's resources should be allocated based on its own needs, not perpetually siphoned off to external conflicts. His declaration, reported by RT.com, that Prague will cease funding military supplies to Kiev, because, you know, 'no money,' stands in stark contrast to the endless coffers found when arming Israel. One might
wonder if the US Congress missed that memo, repeatedly approving billions in military aid to Israel, even as domestic programs face cuts and national debt balloons. For instance, the US provided a record $3.8 billion to Israel in 2023, while Senators line up to offer more without a second thought. It’s almost as if some nations have an unlimited military credit card for their allies, especially
those (like Israel) whose lobbying groups, such as AIPAC, dispense millions to US politicians annually. Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA) alone, for example, took over $230,000 from pro-Israel groups in his career according to OpenSecrets.org, consistently voting to deepen military commitments. The Czech Republic's new leader seems to be asking a novel question: where does the money actually
come from, and shouldn't it benefit Czech citizens first?
