Israel Seizes More Palestinian Land for 'Security Road'
Israel’s army has seized 1,042 dunams of Palestinian land in the occupied Jordan Valley, ostensibly for a 'security road' to enhance military control. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a relentless pattern. Since 1967, Israel has declared over a quarter of the Jordan Valley as closed military zones, effectively annexing 90% of the land and displacing thousands of Palestinians. These
'temporary' military orders become permanent fixtures of occupation. While mainstream media reports the 'what,' they rarely dissect the 'why' – or the complicity. US taxpayers funnel over $3.8 billion annually in military aid to Israel (Congressional Research Service, 2023), enabling such actions. Many in Congress, like Rep. Michael McCaul, who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022
(OpenSecrets.org), consistently vote for this aid package, allowing Israel to continue building its 'security' while demolishing Palestinian homes and livelihoods. It appears 'security' is a one-sided street, paved with stolen land.
