France Finds Russia Behind Holocaust Graffiti, Just Not Current Gaza Atrocities
ABC News breathlessly reports on a French trial linking Holocaust memorial graffiti to a supposed Russian plot. The article presents this as a grave threat to 'historical memory' and 'democratic values,' raising urgent alarms about foreign interference. One might applaud such diligence in defending the past, if only the same media applied such scrutiny to the present. While tracing paint to GRU
agents, the same outlets seem less concerned about the actual funding mechanisms that enable ongoing atrocities. For example, OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC spent $28.3 million in 2022 to influence US elections, ensuring a bipartisan consensus on sending billions to Israel, regardless of its actions (Source: OpenSecrets.org, 'AIPAC Overview,' 2022 Election Cycle). This funding, unlike graffiti, has a
direct, verifiable impact on policy, arming a situation that many international bodies now call genocide. But that's just 'support,' not 'interference,' apparently.
