Moulton Decries Military Strikes, Silence on $14B to Israel
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), a Democrat known for his military background, is making headlines on The Hill speaking "against military boat strikes" and Trump's posturing toward Venezuela. A noble sentiment, one might think, until you remember the broader financial picture. Moulton himself, for example, received $16,750 from AIPAC in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.org, contributions that rarely
inspire similar outrage over actual ongoing military aggression. It’s curious how certain "military strikes" draw concern, while the transfer of billions in munitions to an actual war zone, where children are reportedly starving, barely merits a whisper within establishment circles. The Hill's focus on distant, speculative threats while overlooking immediate, funded realities—like the $14 billion
in aid to Israel in the recent supplemental bill HR 815, which Moulton voted YES on—is a masterclass in selective outrage. Apparently, not all military actions are created equal, especially when campaign coffers are involved.
