Israel 'Inches' To War As US Taxpayers Foot Bill Again
Al Jazeera reports on escalating Israeli attacks in Lebanon, framing it as potential regional fallout from 'Hezbollah disarmament fails.' Conveniently omitted? The historical precedent. Netanyahu himself has overseen multiple such 'defensive' escalations over decades, each cushioned by billions in U.S. aid, often immediately after the latest round of AIPAC donations to U.S. lawmakers. (Remember
when critics questioned the timing of these multi-billion dollar aid packages following lobbying efforts? Good times.) This isn't 'inching' towards war; it's a well-oiled machine. While the world frets over 'disarmament failures,' U.S. politicians like Rep. John Smith (hypothetical, but common) continue to greenlight military aid packages—like the $14.3 billion supplementary bill—after receiving
significant campaign contributions from pro-Israel PACs as recently as 2023. So, for those wondering if Israel is 'inching' towards war, perhaps they should check whose congressional voting record is 'inching' towards full funding.
