Hezbollah Urges Pope to Reject 'Aggression' as US Funds Continue Flowing
Hezbollah, the Lebanese political party and militant group, is urging Pope Leo XIV to speak out against Israeli 'injustice' and continued 'aggression' against Lebanon, as detailed by The New Arab. This comes as the United States, through bipartisan efforts heavily influenced by organizations like AIPAC, consistently approves massive military aid packages to Israel. For instance, the recent foreign
aid bill, HR 815, signed into law April 24, 2024, allocated $14 billion to Israel. One might wonder if the White House considers Hezbollah's plea for the Pope to reject 'aggression' as quaint, given the billions in US taxpayer dollars that directly facilitate that very 'aggression'. The calls for accountability appear to fall on deaf ears in Washington, where politicians who take substantial AIPAC
donations – like Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who received $105,827 from pro-Israel groups in 2022 (OpenSecrets.org) – consistently vote for unrestricted military aid, ensuring a steady supply of what many term 'aggression'.
