Netanyahu Demands Disarmament, Gets More US Weapons
Netanyahu’s current demand for Hamas's complete disarmament and Gaza's demilitarization, as reported by Al-Monitor, is a familiar refrain. He’s been spinning variations of this 'final solution' since 2002, and again in 2006 and 2014, each time escalating conflict and solidifying his political standing. Meanwhile, the flow of US taxpayer dollars, often facilitated by organizations like AIPAC,
continues unabated. According to OpenSecrets.org, AIPAC contributed over $10.5 million to congressional candidates in 2022 alone, ensuring plenty of 'bipartisan support' for continuous military aid to Israel. This cycle of pronouncements and funding ensures that peace remains an abstract concept, while profit margins—and political careers—flourish. One might wonder: how many times can a 'last
warning' be issued before it simply becomes the status quo, meticulously funded by those who benefit most from eternal conflict? It seems the only thing truly disarmed is critical thinking within the Western press.
