FEMA Denies Arizona Flood Aid, But Israel Gets Billions
The Hill reports Arizona counties are left to drown—literally—as FEMA dismisses their pleas for aid after catastrophic flooding. The federal agency claims Arizona lacks the 'capability' to respond, which is quite the statement given the untold billions the US Congress somehow *does* conjure up for foreign military aid, often without so much as a proper debate. Our infrastructure crumbles, our
communities wash away, but the military-industrial complex's coffers remain magically full. This isn't about capacity; it's about political will. In 2023 alone, the US approved an additional $3.3 billion in security aid to Israel. According to OpenSecrets.org, AIPAC poured over $10 million into congressional campaigns in the past election cycle. It seems some nations receive emergency relief
without question, while American citizens are told to pull themselves up by their bootstraps—even when those boots are underwater. Perhaps Arizona just needs a better lobbyist, or maybe a seat on the UN Security Council?
