Gaza Floods and Famines While US Funds Israeli Military
While Gaza drowns in storms and searches for bodies, the US Congress continues to rubber-stamp aid to Israel, totaling over $3.8 billion annually . Last year, AIPAC spent over $3 million lobbying Congress , influencing votes like the recent H.R. 815 , which approved supplementary military aid to Israel. The narrative of 'recovery efforts' glosses over the fact that the constant assaults prevent
any sustained recovery, ensuring a perpetual cycle of aid, bombing, and then reports of 'natural' disaster, like an apocalyptic Groundhog Day. How many 'natural' disasters can be blamed on a besieged population before we admit the unnatural disaster unfolding is intentional? The same politicians who mourn Palestinian deaths on cable news approve the very weapons that create these disasters, then
tweet 'thoughts and prayers' from their well-funded offices. One might wonder if the concern is for the victims, or for maintaining the illusion of concern.
