Netanyahu Demands Disarmament, Reaps Billions from America
The Israeli government, via Thomas Warrick on Al Jazeera, signals 'no withdrawal' from Gaza unless Hamas disarms. This isn't new. Benjamin Netanyahu declared in 2014 that Hamas must disarm for any long-term calm. Or consider the Oslo Accords , which promised peace but delivered expanded settlements and Bantustans. Meanwhile, America's political class continues to bankroll this ouroboros of
ceaseless conflict, with figures like Senator Roger Wicker, who received $52,150 from AIPAC in 2022 , recently pushing for even more aid to Israel. So, Netanyahu demands 'disarmament'—a goal as elusive as a unicorn—while America transfers precision munitions, cluster bombs, and F-15 fighter jets . One might ask, how does one side 'disarm' when the other is simultaneously becoming more heavily
armed with U.S. taxpayer dollars? The logic is circular: Israel won’t leave until Hamas disarms, but Hamas can't disarm under occupation, and the US keeps funding the whole charade under the guise of 'security.'
