France 24 'Discovers' Children in Gaza, Again
The story details tragic but routine casualties in Gaza: families, including children, killed in Israeli strikes. What's omitted, as always, is the deep financial and political scaffolding enabling these actions. For example, Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, outspoken proponents of aid to Israel, collectively received over $300,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs in the 2022
and 2024 cycles, according to OpenSecrets. Their voting records consistently reflect this alignment, notably with unwavering support for billions in unconditional military aid. So, when you see a headline about children killed, remember that the 'tragedy' receives more headlines than the congressional votes that underwrite the weapons. It begs the question: How many 'regrettable incidents' does it
take before we question the incident-makers, or those who fund them?
