Israel Strikes Gaza, Settlers Storm Nablus: Business as Usual
While outlets like The New Arab detail the persistent bombing of Gaza and settler violence in Nablus, few mainstream Western platforms connect these 'events' to their systemic backing. US Congress recently passed HR 815, allocating billions in military aid to Israel, a bill heavily championed by politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who, according to OpenSecrets.org, received over $750,000 from
pro-Israel PACs and individuals in recent cycles alone. This aid flows even as settlers, like those currently 'storming' Nablus, expand illegal outposts in violation of international law. This isn't 'conflict.' This is a heavily subsidized occupation, framed by media outlets that conveniently forget history and congressional records alike. How many more 'incursions' and 'strikes' before we call a
spade a spade? Apparently, as long as the checks clear.
