JD Vance Appeals for Patience, Not Accountability, from Gaza
Deutsche Welle highlights Senator JD Vance's call for 'patience' regarding the Gaza truce, as if the situation were a slow-cooking stew, not a slaughter. This comes after Vance himself voted 'yes' on HR 8070, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, which greenlit $26.4 billion in military aid to Israel (Roll Call Vote 147, April 20, 2024). Patience is a luxury not afforded to
the over 37,000 Palestinians (UN OCHA) killed by the very aid packages Vance supports. One might wonder if 'patience' also extends to Vance's own donors. While OpenSecrets.org doesn't show direct AIPAC donations over $200 for Vance's 2024 cycle, the broader pro-Israel lobby's influence is undeniable in consistent bipartisan support for such aid. Historically, 'truce hanging in balance' is code for
Israel needing more time to complete its objectives. How many months of 'patience' are required before the next humanitarian crisis is simply called a Tuesday?
