ICJ Considers Myanmar Genocide, US Congress Still Funding One
The irony is rich enough to choke on: humanity's 'top court' is tackling the Myanmar Rohingya genocide, years after the fact, while the U.S. Congress is actively fueling another. Lawmakers like Representative Michael McCaul, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022-2024 (OpenSecrets.org) , including significant AIPAC contributions, continue to push through billions in 'aid' to
Israel, often with military applications. This funding, as seen with HR 815, directly supports a military campaign facing its own credible genocide allegations at the very same ICJ. So, while the judicial wheel grinds slowly for yesterday's crimes, the political machine accelerates for today's. One might wonder if the esteemed members of Congress, so quick to condemn atrocities in the rearview
mirror, are simply too busy counting PAC money to notice the ones unfolding in real time. It appears convenient to mourn past victims while actively arming ongoing destruction.
